The diagram illustrates the process of making milk and dairy products. Overall, there are 8 stages in the process, starting with cows grazing in the fields and culminating with ready goods being delivered to supermakets and shops. In the first 4 stages, cows graze on the grass, after which they are taken to a milking machine to be milked twice a day. Following this, the milk is left in refrigeration storage. In the next step, the milk is delivered to Dairy in milk tankers on a daily basis. In the last 4 stages, once the milk is delivered to Dairy, it is subsequently put through a pasteurisation process. It is then turned into various dairy products such as cheese, cream, and butter. Finally, as soon as milk and dairy products are packaged, they are sent out to supermarkets and shops where they are displayed to be purchased by customers.

Dear ................. ,
There are three main things to consider before writing your essay:
1. Tone (formal or informal)
Sometimes students are friendly with their tutors, but I think it would be better to write a formal letter. Start with your tutor’s surname (e.g. Dear Mr. Smith,) and end with “Yours sincerely,”. Avoid contractions (write “I am” instead of “I’m”), and avoid using informal idioms or expressions. Be polite rather than friendly.
2. Purpose
The main purpose of this letter is to inform your tutor that you are leaving the course. Make this clear straight away (e.g. I am writing to inform you that...). Then cover the three points, writing a short paragraph for each.
3. Ideas
I recommend spending a few minutes planning ideas for each of the task points before you start writing. You need to decide what the evening course is about, what your full-time job is, a reason why you are too busy with work to continue with the course, and whether you want to leave completely or perhaps continue at a later date.
