IELTS Writing Task 1 question

The diagram below shows how fabric is manufactured from bamboo.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

Write at least 150 words.

Student answer (Band 6.0)

The process diagram delineates the process of making fabric from bamboo, it is involved 9 steps.

Overall, this given process illustrates whole process of bamboo fabric making. It is start in spring with plant bamboo plants, harvest them in autumn. Subsequently, going with given process, in last get weave to make fabric. Clothes, socks and other wearable and usable items are made with this bamboo fabric.

Firstly, process start with plant bamboo plants in spring, then they are harvested in autumn. In third process, the bamboo plants are cut into strips. In following step, where strips are crushed to make liquid pulp. Then the liquid is filtered to separate long fibres from it, then water and amine oxide are added for soften fibres. In the seventh step, raw fibres are pinned together to make continue thread, and the yarn are woven to make fabric. In the last step, fabric is used for clothes, socks and other wearable items.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

You cover the main stages from planting and autumn harvesting through processing, spinning and weaving, and you include the final clothing products shown in the diagram. The overview also identifies the seasonal start and the fabric-making outcome, so the reader can follow the process as a whole. Some details, however, are not fully accurate or precise: the diagram shows fibres being spun into yarn, whereas “raw fibres are pinned together” misreports this stage. The overview’s phrase “in last get weave to make fabric” also leaves the sequence unclear, and the final stage could be described explicitly as making clothing from the fabric. Reporting each stage accurately and giving a clearer overview of the transformation would make the account more complete.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.0

The response has a recognisable structure: an introduction, an overview and a chronological description of the stages. Sequencing expressions such as “Firstly,” “In third process,” and “In the last step” help the reader track the process. However, some links are mechanical or unclear. For example, “Subsequently, going with given process, in last get weave to make fabric” does not clearly connect the stages, and “In following step, where strips are crushed” is an incomplete construction. The overview also repeats information that is then given in the detail paragraph. Use clearer transitions to show the direction of the process, and group the stages into a concise overview followed by a precise account of the sequence.

Lexical Resource: Band 6.0

You use a suitable range of process vocabulary, including “harvested,” “strips,” “liquid pulp,” “filtered,” “fibres,” and “woven.” These terms help communicate the manufacturing stages, and the seasonal references are relevant. Some word choices and collocations are inaccurate or awkward, however: “pinned together” does not describe spinning fibres into yarn, while “make continue thread” is not a natural way to describe the result. Phrases such as “given process” and “wearable and usable items” are also vague or repetitive. Aim for precise process terms and natural collocations, and avoid repeating broad descriptions when the diagram provides a specific label or outcome.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.5

You attempt both simple and more complex sentence forms, and most of the process remains understandable. Some grammatical errors recur, particularly with verb forms, articles and agreement. For example, “it is involved 9 steps” should use a passive construction, and “It is start in spring with plant bamboo plants” has errors in the verb form and sentence structure. In “the yarn are woven,” the subject and verb do not agree; “the yarn is woven” would be correct. The sentence beginning “In following step, where strips are crushed” is also incomplete. Practise accurate passive forms for process descriptions and check subject–verb agreement, articles and complete sentence structure before submitting.
