  1. The flowchart presents information about the life of glass and plastic containers, showing closeness between them in some periods of the diagram.
    At first glance, it can be seen that both similarities and differences of the processes are revealed here. Moreover, the second ones far outweigh coincidences.
    I’d like to begin from the point when utilised glass and plastic products become a whole collection in a dumpster. It takes from five to ten days to transport this assemblage to the recycling centre, where all of it will be sorted by their own criterias, or more precisely, by the thickness and quality for plastic and colour for glass.
    Considering glass compounds, their subsequent stage is introduced as a crushing process, while plastic products go through bundling and shredding. The following stage is similar for both of them and is presented as a washing procedure. After that, compounds are sent to melting and reshaping stages. At this point, we can see a new entertaining phase of recycling. Taking into account the plastics, both of the stages are done by the same machine in comparison to glass, which is melted and reshaped by two separate engines. At this point, finally, new products are made and are ready for consumption, which can last from three to eight weeks on average.
    Summarising the information above, it will be wise to note that distinctions in these processes can be justified by chemical properties of the products.

    1. Awesome! The essay abides by all the criteria. Just a few mistakes.

  2. The flowchart explains information about the life cycle and plastic with recycling. The scheme of the process is presented.
    To begin with, the bottle of unknown substance is collected for trash output. After 5 days the trash is sorted for two kind. The first one is for color glass, and the second one is plastic, which is sorted by thickness and quality.
    Overall, the glass is going to crushing, and the second one is going to bundling.
    The following step after crushing is washing. Then, the glass is melted by a combine. With the help of the same combine, the glass is reshaped and a new product is done.
    Another version of plastic recycling is actually the same like the glass process. After bundling, the plastic is shredded by a machine, and the substance is washed for melting and reshaping. The final result is a new product for our using. Throughout the time the process is repeated.

    1. The essay meets the criteria, has a well-developed structure and logical outline. Nevertheless, you don't use all the facts from the diagram (the duration of the process and the number of stages).
      The flowchart explains information about the life cycle and plastic with recycling. The scheme of the process is presented with 8 stages of recycling for both plastic and glass. It lasts 3-8 weeks.
      To begin with, bottles of unknown substance are collected for trash output. After 5 days the trash is sorted for two kinds. The first one is for colour glass, and the second one is plastic, which is sorted by thickness and quality.
      Overall, the glass is going for crushing, and the second one is going for bundling.
      The following step after crushing is washing. Then, the glass is melted by the machines. With the help of the same machine, the glass is reshaped and a new product is done.
      Another version of plastic recycling is actually the same as the glass process. After bundling, the plastic is shredded by a machine, and the substance is washed for melting and reshaping. The final result is a new product for our usage. Throughout the time the process is repeated.

  3. The data from the diagram shows life cycle of plastic and glass, including the process of recycling.
    Cycle of glass has 8 stages, the same as process of plastic recycling. Features which were given have completely different ways, exepting three levels: becoming a new product, collection and transport to recycling centre.
    After the collection, materials go to the transport recycling centre, moreover this event lasts for 5-10 days. Next stair of glass is sorting by color. Then glass incur by the crushing. After this glass becomes cleaner with help of the next stage of washing. After that glass is melting and resharping and this activity must be done by separate machines. Finally, the last stair is becoming a new product. In the same time, plastic after the second level is sorting by thickness and quality. The third mark is bundling in boxes. Subsequently this material acur by the process of shredding and washing. Next order is melting and resharping and that should be done by the same machine. Becoming a new product is the last step for the process of glass life cycle.

    1. Well-done. The essay is well-structured, though you don't use Passive Voice. While describing process we should use it.

  4. The flowchart presents data about the life of glass and plastic containers, including recycling process. The processing of both materials is similar to each other and is united by the scheme.

    It all starts with collecting materials for 5-10 days. After this period, they are transported to a recycling center. Plastic is sorted by quality and thickness, while glass is sorted by color. The next step in changing plastic is bundling, shredding and washing. As for glass, the third stage for it is crushing and washing. Then the same actions occur for both materials: plastic and glass are melted and reshaped. However, these steps for plastic are taken place on the same machine, while for glass separate equipment is used. The final stage for each is the manufacture of a new product, which will subsequently be collected in the same way over a certain period (on average 3-8 weeks) and the processing actions will be repeated.

    In conclusion, it is worth noting that the processing of glass and plastic is similar and differs only in the process of melting and reshaping.

    1. Well-done. The report accurately summarizes the main features of the recycling process for glass and plastic containers and makes relevant comparisons. Next time don't forget to include the number of stages for processes.

      The flowchart presents data about the life of glass and plastic containers, including the recycling processes. The processing of both materials is similar and is united by the scheme, consisting of 8 stages each.

      It all starts with collecting materials for 5–10 days. After this period, they are transported to a recycling center. Plastic is sorted by quality and thickness, while glass is sorted by color. The next step in processing plastic is bundling, shredding, and washing. As for glass, the third stage is crushing and washing. Then the same actions occur for both materials: plastic and glass are melted and reshaped.
