The diagrams below show the life cycle of the silkworm and the stages in the production of silk cloth. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The charts illustrate the life process of silkworms and how silk cloth is produced. Looking from an

overall

perspective, it is readily apparent that the life cycle of a silkworm consists of 4 stages and silk cloth production is completed in 5 steps. In the first diagram,

initially

, eggs are dropped in a mulberry leaf by moths, after which silkworm larvas emerge from eggs after 10 days. The mulberry leaves are used as a food source by larvas. In the stage

after

this

, larvas are surrounded by silk thread over a period of 1-1.5 mount, which is followed by cocoon formation in approximately a week. The cycle ends when a moth emerges and ultimately the process starts over again.

According to

the next picture, as the first step, some cocoons are picked and put into water. The cocoons are

As a result

of

this

stage, some threads are produced with a length of 300-900 metres. Once

this

phase is completed, the threads are twisted and put in a pot which is full of dye, following which the twisted threads are weaved and the process ends.
