Write a report for a university tutor describing the production process.



Cut up strips and shuffle and have students re-arrange them in order in groups

The diagram shows how a small factory produces coloured plastic paper clips.

First of all, molten plastic is poured into moulds.

There are three moulds; one for red plastic, one for blue and the third one for yellow.

After sometime, the plastic sets and forms the paper clips.

These are taken out of the moulds and are checked by machine for strength.

Weak paper clips are rejected and the others move on to the next step.

In this stage, the paper clips are sorted by hand into different coloured groups.

There are groups of individual colours and one set of mixed colours.

Workers then check that the colours are in the correct places and they send any mistakes back to be re-sorted.

Finally, the papers clips are packed and sent to shops and markets to be sold.

In conclusion, it is clear that making paper clips is a simple process, involving people and machines.
