[The diagram is being posted]
The given diagram illustrates the process for making chocolate.
Overview, there are a total of ten stages in this process, beginning with the growing of the pods on the cacao trees and culminating in the production of chocolate.
To begin with, cocoa comes from cacoa trees, which are grown in South American and African continents and the country of Indonesia. Once the pods are ripe and red, they are harvested and the white cocoa beans are removed. Following a period of fermentation, they are then laid out on a large tray so that they can dry under the sun. Next, they are placed into large sacs and delivered to the factory.
In the factory, the dried beans are roasted at a temperature of 350 degrees, after which they are crushed and separated from their outer shells. In the final stage, this inner part that is left is pressed and the chocolate is produced.
Idiom of the Day for Speaking.
Reach for the moon.
If you 'reach for the moon', you are aiming to achieve something great, or do something very challenging.
For instance,
Ever since I was a little boy, I had reached for the moon. It was as if I had somehow known that I would do something great in my life.
Her father always wanted Lisa to reach for the moon, but she just wanted to play with her pets and run around the woods.
Ever since she was a teenager, Mariam had been reaching for the moon. She had dreams of being a famous movie star.
IELTS Examiner: Could you please tell me about your childhood days?
Candidate: Well, I would say, in my childhood I always wanted to reach for the moon. My mother, who was a lady of steel sinews, always encouraged me to reach my lofty goals.
Note: You may also use " Reach for the stars".
