Task 1: Process

- to be harvested
- to be put in a suitable place to ensure safe storage
- to be ground into a find powder
- to be mixed with
- undergo a fermentation process
The diagram illustrates the process to produce ethanol fuel from corn. It is clear from the diagram that there are nine steps in the process, beginning with harvesting the corn and ending at the delivery stage.. The fermenting step seems to be the most important because it takes the longest time in the process.
At the first stage in the corn ethanol making process, corn is harvested and then put in a suitable place to ensure safe storage before it is ready for milling. The second stage of the ethanol fuel production includes corn being milled after storing. During the milling stage, the corn is ground into a fine powder, which is then mixed with water. The resulting mixture is cooked for four hours. Then the product is going to the fermenting stage, where it will be fermented for 48 hours.
The cooked and fermented corn will then be separated into liquid and solid part. The solid part is a by-product and will then be disposed. The next steps requires the liquid to be purified for 5 hours until it become clean ethanol fuel. It continues to be stored, and in the last stage, fuel goes into transporting stage, ready to be sold.
Task 2: Some people think that physical strength is important for success in sport, while other people think that mental strength is more important. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
When it comes to sport, many people believe that ones must be very strong and healthy to be involved in it, while others argue that mental strength is much more important for success in sport. Personally, I agree with the idea that mental strength is more important. In this passage, I will discuss both views and state my opinion.
To start with, physical strength is a fundamental base for someone to play sports. Almost all sports are very physically-demanding, which require a person involves in it too always stay strong and fit. For example, football players always have to sweat it out in order to defeat their opponents, or many basketball and baseball players have to pump the iron to attain enough strength for a match. Therefore, it’s very hard for someone without physical strength to succeed in sports.
However, it is not an impossibility for weak people to bear fruit in sports because physical strength can be gained by hard work and determination. But to have such determination and persistence to overcome the physical strength, ones has to have a very strong mental health. Even for already strong person, mental health can not be taken for granted. There are many struggles and difficulties throughout the success pave in sports that only those who can fight it will attain the triumph. Without mental health, people are likely to be easily give up, therefore, I contend that mental health is more important to pursue success not only in sports but in other fields.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that mental strength is the key to success in sports, while physical strength will supplement it. In order to bear fruit in sports in specific and other things in general, ones must not ignored the determination, passion and ambition of mental strength.
