Moving on, the general statement of the second paragraph could be about the number of steps of the process or about naming the first and the last stage. Another way to go is to say whether the process is linear, meaning that it has with a clear starting point and an ending point or if it is a loop.

After the general statement, you are supposed to present the process in the following two paragraphs by writing about the steps in sequential order. Here, you need to use vocabulary that expresses time connections.
