These look like this on the chart :  \nMost of the boxes on a flow chart are instructions, which tell you what to do next. These appear in rectangular boxes like the one shown on the right:  \nSometimes a question needs to be answered to decide what instruction should happen next. These questions are put in decision boxes like the one on the right:  \nTo construct a flow chart we need to think about the order in which the operations need to occur, then  \ndraw the chart.  \nFlow Chart Example 1  \nWe will now draw a flow chart for having a bath.  \nWe start by thinking about the steps involved:  \n(1) Fill the bath with water  \n(2) Get undressed.  \n(3) Get into bath.  \n(4) Wash.  \n(5) Get out of bath.  \n(6) Empty the bath water.  \n(7) Get dressed.  \nNow we need to draw the chart with instruction boxes. There are no decisions on this chart-the steps all follow on from one another. Remember the Start and End boxes.  \nThe final chart is shown on the right. Of course some people might do some of these steps in a different order, but hopefully they get undressed before getting in the bath!  \nFlow Chart Example 2  \nThe step Fill the bath with water in the previous example could have been more detailed. For example, you need to check if there is enough water and whether it is at the right temperature while running the bath.  \nAgain we need to think about the steps involved:  \n(1) Turn on the hot and cold taps.  \n(2) Is it too hot or cold? If it is, go to step 3, otherwise go to step 4.  \n(3) Adjust the hot and cold taps and go back to step 2.  \n(4) Wait for 2 minutes.  \n(5) Is the bath full? If it is, go to step 7, otherwise go to step 6.  \n(6) Go back to step 4.  \n(7) Turn off the hot and cold taps.  \nNow we need to draw the chart. This time we need to use decision boxes for steps 2 (where the temperature of the water is checked) and 5 (where it is checked if the bath is full) .  \nThe final chart is shown on the right.","cbCaid9OOW1OPwJ5","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaid9OOW1OPwJ5","pdf",84664,"English","# Unit 1 Section 2: Flow Charts for Practical Tasks\n## Core structure: Start, instructions, and End\n## Example 1: Flow chart for having a bath\n## Example 2: More detailed flow chart with decisions","[{\"question\":\"What do Start and End points represent in a flow chart?\",\"answer\":\"They mark the beginning and the completion of the process.
