In this video, I'll show you what vocabulary words you have to use when you're describing a process. So if you remember, this is what our process diagrams look like. On the one hand, you have process diagrams where the stages and the steps may not be clearly numbered, whereas in other process diagrams, the steps and stages will be clearly laid out. So you may get any of these process diagrams on your task one essay. So, first, let's look at how to describe the composition of the process. So, in this example, we have a process that shows the lifecycle of a salmon fish.

So when you're describing this process in your essay, generally, in the introduction, you have to summarize what the process is about. So in this case, you may say something like, the diagram shows how someone develop From eggs to adults. So this is one way to describe what the diagram is about. But you can also use synonyms for the word how, for example, instead of saying how you can use the phrase, the process by which, so you could say, the diagram shows the process by which salmon developed from eggs to adults. All right, so you can say how, or you can use the synonym for how, which is the process by which. Now if the number of steps or stages is clear in the diagram, then you have to describe the composition of the number of steps or stages in your essay.

So you may write something like this process is composed of three steps. Now notice that all the words that are in the blue color have synonyms. So this is one way to describe the composition of the process. But instead of the word process, you can also say cycle. So you can say, this cycle is composed of three steps. Now, instead of saying is composed off, you can say is made up off, is formed of, or is comprised of.

So you can say, this process is made up of three steps. Instead of saying steps. You can also say, stages or phases. So you can say, this process is composed of three stages. Now, when we're describing stages, there's a beginning, middle, and end to any process. So, let's look at some words and phrases that we can use to describe the different stages in a process.

So if you're describing the beginning of a process or the startup process, then you can use these words and phrases here. Initially, to begin with, and so on. If you're describing the middle stage of a process, you can use any of these words or phrases here. If you want to describe that something is happening at the same time in a process. For example, if two things are happening at the same time in a process, then you can use the words and phrases here. Next, if you're describing the end of a process, then you can use the words and phrases listed here.

And finally, if you want to say that the process repeats itself, then you can use these phrases here. So that concludes this video on the vocabulary for process diagrams. In the next video, I'm going to show you what vocabulary words to use for describing maps
