Ielts Academic Writing Task 1 The diagram below shows how a mechanical arm works

 

The diagram below shows how a mechanical arm works, and how the joints that make up the arm function in the same way as those in a human arm. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant

 

The given diagram elucidates how a robotic arm works in a similar fashion to a human arm while performing tasks such as spray painting, drilling and welding. 

Overall, a mechanical arm is controlled by three computer monitored  motors and has joints similar to a human arm.  

 This arm is anchored to the foundation at the shoulder. This base is usually not moving, but sometimes it is movable. The movement of raising or lowering the arm is supported by the pivot installed between the shoulder and the base. This part also allows rotation of the whole arm, allowing it to work just like a human shoulder. 

The elbow in the middle allows free movement including flexing and rotating, affording complete flexibility to the whole equipment. Similarly,   the wrist of the mechanical arm functions just like a human counterpart allowing hand free movement, gripper  in this case. Gripper is equipped  with sensors to control force of hold. Gripper can be replaced by other end-effectors:  spray paint, drilling and welding metals.

The given diagrams describe the evolution of the modern horse in different stages, from Eohippus to the one that exists today.

Overall, evolution of the modern horse took 40 million years and four stages. In this process, the size and structure of the animal, and that  of the foot underwent radical changes. 

Eohippus appeared 40 million years ago, it was much smaller in size than its modern counterpart and had a four fingered foot. Its successor Mesohippus which appeared 30 million years ago was slightly bigger, had short hair at the back of its neck, and its foot structure transformed into three fingers, with the middle finger sporting a bulb.

Ielts Writing Task 1 Diagrams Dam

The given diagram elucidates functioning of a hydroelectric production unit.

Overall, the hydroelectric power production installation is largely divided into 4 primary parts, high level reservoir behind the dam, a channel to pump water to the turbine in the day and back to high level reservoir at night, a power station which has reversible turbines and a generator, and a low level reservoir. This unit produces electricity in the day.

The water stored in large reservoir behind the dam is channelized towards the low reservoir by opening the intake during the day. The water while flowing towards low reservoir runs the reversible turbines, housed at the base of power station, which in turn operate generator, producing electricity. The electricity is supplied to the grid with the  help of power lines. This operation takes place in the day.

In the night, the electricity generation is halted and water from the low reservoir is pumped back into the high reservoir with the turbines operating in reverse direction.

Ielts Writing Task 1 Diagrams 

The given illustrations depict life cycle of Silkworm and manufacturing process of Silk cloth. 

Overall, The lifecycle of silkworm has 4 steps, while manufacturing of silks involves 5 steps 

Silkworm lays eggs on mulberry leaves which after 10 days hatch into larvae. The larvae continuously feeds on mulberry leaves for 4 to 6 weeks and gains enormous size and finally weaves a cocoon with help of its saliva or silk around its body. this process takes between 3 to 8 days.

If the shell is not retrieved for extraction of silk, larvae transforms itself into silkworm moth itself in matter of 16 days. 

The retrieved cocoon is boiled in water in order to kill the larvae inside. After boiling process,  shell  is unwound into yarn. A cocoon can yield a single strand of length between 300 to 900 meters.  The yarn Is twisted into a thread which is either dyed directly or woven into a cloth and sent for dyeing.

The given graphs elucidate and compare employment patterns among males and females in full and part time work between 1973 and 1993 in Australia 

Overall, the patterns of employment among full time men and women workers are different, where number males working full-time declined between 1973 and 1993, more women found employment in such jobs. But, in the case of part time work, employment fell both in men and women in the given period. .
