1. Step 1: analyzing the task topic, dividing it into three chunks like the image below and paraphrasing in your
own words.
Step 2: writing the overview with unique formula: Overview = (First & Last Steps) +
(Number of Stages) + (Methods, Tools or Influences)
2. Step 3: writing the details paragraphs
+ Discuss roughly half of the stages in the first details paragraph and the rest in the second
