PTE Process Chart and Flow Chart Practice

This flow chart shows how a water filter cartridge is produced, in five stages. The process begins when raw water enters the intake. The water then passes through a coarse screen, which removes sediment. Next, it flows through carbon layers. Once it has been filtered, the water is tested to confirm it is suitable. Finally, the cartridge is sealed and packed, which completes the process.

This flow chart outlines six steps for setting up a small business. The process starts with choosing a business name, and the next step is checking that the name is available. Once the name is confirmed, the business is registered. After registration, the owner opens a business bank account and then applies for a tax number. Finally, the business can start trading. The chart shows that most of the preparation happens before the first sale.

This diagram shows six stages in turning wheat into flour. First, the wheat is harvested with a combine harvester. The grain is then dried and stored, and after that it is cleaned to remove stones and dust. In the fourth stage, water is added to condition the grain. Next, it is ground between rollers, and finally the flour is sifted and packed. Overall, the process moves from the harvested crop to packaged flour.

This diagram shows how rain forms in six stages. First, the sun heats the sea, and water vapour rises. As it climbs, the vapour cools and condenses into tiny droplets, and these gather to form clouds. The droplets then grow heavy, and finally rain falls to the ground. Overall, the process is a cycle powered by heat from the sun.

This diagram shows how drinking water is treated in six stages. The process begins with intake from a reservoir, and the water is then screened to remove large debris. Next comes coagulation and settling, when small particles clump together and sink. After that the water passes through filtration, and is disinfected to make it safe. Finally, the treated water is supplied to homes.

After that, the second chamber debates it. Once both chambers have finished, the head of state signs the bill, and finally the law comes into force.

This diagram explains how a robot arm learns a new task in six steps. First, the task is defined. Humans then record demonstrations, and these are used to train a control model. The model is tested in simulation before it is trialled on the factory floor. Finally, the robot's performance is monitored and the model is updated when necessary.

This diagram shows the stages of forest regrowth after a clearing. It begins with bare ground, which is first colonised by grasses and herbs. Shrubs and pioneer trees then take over, and a young fast-growing forest develops. Over time, shade-tolerant trees arrive beneath the canopy. Eventually the area becomes a mature forest, so the whole process happens in six gradual stages.

This flow chart shows how a heritage building is restored for visitors in six steps. First, its condition is surveyed. Experts then research the original materials and stabilise the structure. Details are repaired and conserved, and the building opens to visitors. Finally, its condition is monitored over time. Overall, the work moves from investigation to repair, and carries on after the doors open to visitors.

This diagram shows eight steps in organising a community arts festival. The process begins with a theme and date, followed by the venue and permits. Performers are then booked and tickets are sold. After the site is set up, the festival runs. Finally, organisers review visitor feedback. Overall, most of the work happens before the event, and feedback is collected once it has finished.

This diagram shows how steel is made from iron ore in six steps. First, ore and coke are loaded into a blast furnace, producing molten iron. Oxygen then removes impurities, and alloying elements are added. The steel is cast into slabs, and finally the slabs are rolled into sheets. Overall, the process turns raw iron ore into finished sheets of steel.

This flow chart explains glass manufacturing in five stages. The process begins when sand, soda ash and limestone are mixed. The mixture is melted in a furnace, and the glass is shaped. It is then cooled slowly, which is called annealing. Finally, the glass is inspected and cut. Overall, glass starts as a mixture of raw materials and ends as a finished product.

This diagram shows how a carbon fibre panel is made in five steps. First, fibres are woven into fabric. The fabric is laid into a mould, and resin is added. The panel is then cured under heat and pressure. Finally, it is trimmed and finished. Overall, loose fibres become a strong, finished panel through weaving, moulding and curing.

This diagram shows how a DNA molecule is copied in four steps. First, an enzyme unwinds the double helix. The two strands then separate, and free bases pair with each strand. Finally, two identical DNA molecules form, each containing one original strand. Overall, the process lets the cell pass on exactly the same genetic information.

This flow chart shows how a cell makes a protein in five steps. A gene is first copied into messenger RNA, which leaves the nucleus. A ribosome reads the message and links amino acids in a chain. Finally, the chain folds into a protein. Overall, the information stored in a gene is turned, step by step, into a working protein.

The speaker then rehearses aloud. Finally, the presentation is delivered, questions are invited, and feedback is gathered. Overall, the speaker prepares carefully before the talk and learns from the audience afterwards.

This diagram shows five steps for giving constructive feedback. First, you describe the specific behaviour, and then explain its effect. Next, you listen to the response. After that, both sides agree next steps. Finally, you follow up later. Overall, the process is a two-way conversation rather than one-sided criticism.

A first draft is written, and the writer revises and edits it. Finally, the references are checked and the essay is submitted. Overall, the essay is built up in stages, from understanding the question to a checked final version.

This flow chart shows a spaced revision cycle with five steps. It begins with learning the material. Students review it after one day and again after one week. They then test themselves. Finally, they revisit the weak topics. Overall, the cycle uses short reviews at widening intervals, followed by testing, to strengthen memory.

This diagram shows the peer review of a journal article in six steps. The author submits a manuscript, and the editor screens it. Experts then review it anonymously, and the authors revise the paper. Finally, the editor makes a decision, and an accepted paper is published. Overall, the article is checked by independent experts before it is published.

This flow chart shows seven steps for hiring a new team member. First, the role is defined and an advert is posted. Applicants are shortlisted and interviewed. References are then checked and an offer is made. Finally, the new employee is onboarded. Overall, hiring runs from defining the job to welcoming the person who has been chosen.

Finally, staff follow up with the customer and record the lessons learned. Overall, the company not only resolves the complaint but also records what it has learned.

This flow chart shows the five phases of a project. It begins with initiation, followed by planning. Next comes execution, when the work is carried out. Monitoring and control then keep the project on track. Finally, the project ends with closure. Overall, the phases show a project moving from an idea to a planned, managed and completed piece of work.

This diagram shows an annual performance review in six steps. It begins with setting goals, followed by regular check-in meetings. The employee writes a self-assessment, and the manager evaluates performance. After a review meeting, they finally agree a development plan.
