How to Write a Band 9 IELTS Process
Description
This chapter outlines the thought processes and structure needed to
answer an IELTS Process Description question, and the elements that need
to be included to achieve the best possible band score for your writing.
Example Question:
The diagram illustrates how bees produce honey.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main
features, and make comparisons where relevant.
Write at least 150 words.
Step 1- Understand the Process
The first sentence tells us what is shown in the diagram, but we must
take time to look at the diagram itself to fully understand what happens in
the process.

REMEMBER
: we cannot describe something if we do not
understand it!
THOUGHT PROCESS FOR THE EXAMPLE:
The diagram 
tells us (
illustrates
)
how bees 
make (
produce
)
honey
The diagram has numbers and arrows, so it is easy to see the
beginning and end of the process
There are not many words on the diagram, so we must use
the pictures to help
There are some words explained underneath the diagram, so
they must be important!
