The diagram shows the stages in how a person opens a new online account and signs in to it. Overall, the process consists of two clear stages: setting up the account and accessing it during later visits.

To begin with, an email address is entered on the website by the person. Next, a link is sent to that address by the website. After that, the person clicks the link to confirm the address, and a password is chosen. Once this is completed, the account is opened.

At each later visit, the person types the email address and the password. Following this, a code is sent to the person's phone by the website. Finally, the person types the code, and the website opens the account.

ℹ️ Teacher's note: Notice how every stage appears in order without adding any extra details that were not in the list.

Why This Works

Short explanations and everyday examples for each highlighted phrase.

Overall, the process consists of

Why this works: This is an easy way to start your overview sentence and state how many main stages there are.

Example: "Overall, the process consists of three main steps."

To begin with

Why this works: This starts the body paragraph smoothly so you do not repeat the word "First" all the time.

Example: "To begin with, fresh milk is poured into clean glass bottles."

an email address is entered

Why this works: This passive phrase puts the focus on the item and the action rather than the person doing it.

Example: "A new coin is placed into the slot."

a link is sent

Why this works: This short passive action sounds objective and avoids saying "the website sends" again and again.

Example: "A welcome letter is sent to every new student."

Once this is completed

Why this works: This clearly shows that the previous steps must be finished before moving to the end of that phase.

Example: "Once this is completed, the loaves are taken out of the oven."

At each later visit

Why this works: This clearly tells the reader that the report has moved from creating an account to logging in later.

Example: "At each later visit, the customer shows an identity card."

Following this

Why this works: This connects two consecutive actions naturally and keeps the paragraphs flowing smoothly.

Example: "Following this, the box is sealed with strong brown tape."
