Sample Introductory Sentence
The illustration explains the process of honey production in bee
hives.
Sample Overview Sentence
There are seven key stages in this whole process, beginning with the
honey bees building a hive and concluding with the collection and use of
the honey.
Sample Main Body Paragraph 1
Firstly, the bees build a dome-shaped or box-like structure, called a
hive, in which to live. It consists of many individually-built units, called
cells. Then, the bees leave the hive in order to search for flowers. They are
attracted to flowers by their scent and, as a result, they collect nectar, a
sticky, sugary substance, from each flower that they visit. It is this
substance that forms the basis of honey production.
Sample Main Body Paragraph 2
When the bees return to the hive, the nectar is deposited into the
cells. Next, the nectar is cooled down by the movement of air created by
the flapping of the bees’ wings. This also causes the nectar to lose its
water content. Finally, the honey is left as the product of the whole process
and can be enjoyed as a deliciously sweet treat.
