The diagrams give information about the equipment and stages used to create cement, and how it's used in concrete production.

In the cement production, limestone and clay are crushed in a crusher in order to produce powder. The powder is then goes through a mixer and a rotating heater. When the cement comes out of the rotating heater, it slides down a grinder and is ready to be packed in bags.

Concrete production requires 15% cement, 25% sand, 10% water and 50% gravel. All of those ingredients are mixed together in a concrete mixer which is rotating. Unlike cement production, concrete production doesn't need a lot of special equipment like crushers and rotating heaters.

Overall, concrete production requires less equipment, but on the other hand, more ingredients are needed to produce it.


Thank you for reading my writing task 1! Have a nice day!

Overall, a good report. To make it better, spend a little more time on describing the first process, using connectives to link the different stages.

All the best,
David
