This flowchart starts with the task of making tea. It breaks the task into smaller steps:

Boil water by filling the kettle and switching it on.
Place a tea bag in the cup.
Pour the boiling water into the cup.
Let the tea brew for 3-5 minutes.
Remove the tea bag.
Add milk or sugar if desired.

Each step is shown as a rectangle, and the process flows from start to end using arrows. This shows how decomposition breaks a big task into smaller, manageable steps.
