Don’t panic regarding to this;
Just do the 2 things: As the examiner knows that you haven’t encounter this type previously or may have seen, to do the first is pick out the key features and try to complete your task with 20 minutes. Just report accurately that process.
Second, you can quickly understand any process by asking yourself these questions:
•Where does the process actually starts and where it ends?
•How many stages are included?
•Is that man-made or a natural process.
•What is being produced?
•Can you see any of the material that is shown?
•Last, what’s the relationship between each stage.

Paraphrase the question
Paraphrasing is very important. Every process follows the same format. First thing you need to do in each task is paraphrase the question. As, paraphrasing is the most important skill that need to master. The easiest way to paraphrase is to use synonyms and changing the order of words of the question. Synonyms are different words that have the same meaning, for example, woman and female.
OVERVIEW
Next, the second step us write an overview. This is the basic element of the format of ‘Process’ writing. If you don’t write an overview so, it become difficult to get high scores in your task 1. However, if you learn how to write a good one, you are far more likely to get the score you deserve.
Divide your task by writing 2 paragraphs separately:
When you complete your introduction and an overview you should move further to write down the ‘Process’ details. In this you need to include each stage in more details.
You can use:
•Explain what each stage does
•What has been shown that is being produced
•If any materials are added
•And/or discuss the relationship with the previous or subsequent stages.

Remember to keep spare time at the end to review your task. You should try to leave 3-4 minutes at the end. Try to complete your task in 15-16 minutes, so that you can check and refine your task.
Things you should be careful with at last:
•Check your spellings and punctuation marks.
•Have included all the things shown in the process?
