C) Now look at the drawings of the next three stages and make statements (using passive voice) about the sequence of events in phases 2, 3 and 4.

	Below are some suggestions for writing process descriptions: 1. Keep the description well organized. Use adverbs of order (transition words) as you go from one step to the next: initially/first, second, next, then, later/subsequently, finally. 2. Use a drawing to help clarify the description. 3. Keep the description simple. 4. Use simple present for most of the description. 5. Try to use several passive constructions.

 

3. Read the description of phase 1 of the assembly sequence:

After the preparation of the site has been completed the workmen begin the initial stage. This includes excavating the ground, constructing the concrete foundations, fixing the column base plates and erecting the steel columns. The workmen begin by excavating the ground. This precedes the constructing of the concrete foundation because they require solid ground to support them. This is followed by the fixing of the column base plates. Finally, the steel columns are erected.
