Writing task 1 (description of a diagram)
The chart below illustrates how hydro-electric power is created. For the generation of electricity* water is needed. **Rain water from a reservoir flows down a long path to*** contribute to the making of hydro-electric power.
First of all, as a result of the sun's heat, water evaporates from the sea. It becomes a cloud and will come down as rain later on. This rain falls into the reservoir, which has a dam to prevent water leaking out and a valve to regulate how much water they want to use. If the valve is opened the water flows to the turbine, which can generate power from this. After doing its duty**** the water will flow to the pump, which will make sure that the water is pumped back into the reservoir.
The power that is created within the turbine goes to a transformer station through high voltage cables. From there, the power goes to various users: homes, schools, hospitals, shops and any other place that needs electric.*****
*or, Water is needed to generate electricity.
**if, as here, the process is ongoing, habitual, one normally uses the present tense, throughout, to describe it.
