You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The following diagram shows the life-cycle of a frog. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.

The picture represents the life cycle of a

frog

. It starts with a matured

frog

laying

eggs

which later grow into tadpoles and

then

finally

transform into adult frogs.

Overall

, it is evident that the process takes place in 7 distinct phases.

To begin

with, an adult

frog

lays a couple of

eggs

which is known as a

frog

spawn

Change the verb form

spawns

show examples

in the water body. These

eggs

later hatch into organisms looking similar to a fish called tadpoles. After a week, the

tadpole

begins to change its shape and develop external gills for breathing underwater. Once the

tadpole

is 6 weeks old, the size of its head decreases and the external gills disappear, leaving the

tadpole

with a long

tail

. In the next phase, the 8 weeks old

tadpole

transforms into a baby

frog

developing two hind legs

however

, the

tail

remains the same.

Furthermore

, after 12 weeks the

tail

of the baby

frog

starts shrinking and its front legs are formed. As time passes, the

tail

of the

frog

almost vanishes and the

frog

is ready to hop out of the water and live on the land.

Finally

,

this

adult

frog

lays

eggs

again and the process repeats itself ahead.
