hello and welcome to this short video on
0:13
writing like normal there's a worksheet
0:16
that accompanies this video so before I
0:19
begin pause the slide and download it
0:27
below so what is process
0:31
writing process writing provides a
0:34
stepbystep description of how something
0:37
operates or is produced the explanation
0:41
includes a range of writing skills
0:44
describe the process in detail paying
0:47
attention to the sequence of events for
0:50
example chronological
0:53
order use linkers to highlight when a
0:56
stage starts or finishes for example to
1:00
begin with next afterwards
1:04
Etc describe the main features for
1:07
example places processes time periods
1:11
stages Etc note any additional
1:15
information given in the diagram so for
1:18
example pollution or any issues
1:22
ETC so we'll begin with looking at a
1:25
process of electricity generation called
1:31
it's always good to start with how much
1:34
you know about a process so pause the
1:37
slide and write some notes on how this
1:40
type of electricity is produced using
1:48
diagram I'd imagine you know the basic
1:51
ideas but perhaps not all the key terms
1:57
equipment so on this slide you can see
2:00
numbers from 1 to 14 pause the slide and
2:05
label the diagram with the words in the
2:12
below okay here are the answers pause
2:22
check so just before we begin to write
2:25
it is important to know something about
2:28
the language for process
2:31
writing in process writing we tend to
2:34
use present simple active and present
2:37
simple passive with time sequencing
2:41
words to connect each
2:43
idea examples for the present simple
2:46
active are hydroelectricity production
2:51
uses water from a reservoir to produce
2:56
energy examples for the present simple
3:00
the water is stored at a higher
3:06
reservoir and then for time
3:08
sequences first of all water from the
3:14
reservoir or the next stage is the
3:17
control gate opens to a
3:20
lab here is a language reference guide
3:24
offering a variety of common time
3:27
expressions and common verbs and nouns
3:29
sounds used in process
3:32
writing this is included in the
3:35
worksheet download so perhaps pause the
3:38
slide and read through this
3:44
now okay let's have a go at some process
3:48
writing using this hydroelectricity
3:52
diagram write about 100 to 150 words on
4:00
uced I've provided a topic sentence and
4:04
a Time expression to help you get
4:06
started with hydroelectricity production
4:10
uses water from a reservoir to produce
4:13
energy first of all and then you
4:16
continue so pause the slide and write
4:27
words okay here is a sample answer read
4:33
through it and compare it to yours pause
4:42
compare now we'll do a bit of language
4:46
analysis using the sample identify and
4:50
highlight all the present simple active
4:53
verbs pause and do the task
5:01
here are the answers pause and
5:08
check again using the sample identify
5:13
and highlight all the present simple
5:15
passive verbs pause and do the
5:23
task here are the answers pause and
5:34
and finally using the sample again
5:37
identify and highlight all the time
5:40
sequences or time Expressions pause and
5:48
task here are the answers pause and
5:58
check okay okay you can now see how the
6:02
language features discussed before in
6:04
this video are used throughout the
6:08
writing this slide includes all the
6:10
highlighted language to visually
6:17
use okay that's the end of the video for
6:20
today and I hope it was
6:23
helpful if you'd like more lessons on
6:26
process writing then go here as we have
6:29
another eight lessons all based around
6:33
energy such as fracking nuclear power
6:37
solar energy wind and wave energy like
6:42
always until next time thank you for
