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 picture depicts the information about process of producing cloth from bamboo.

Intially, in the spring season we prepare bamboo plants by planting them in soil. Furthermore, bamboo crop is ready to harvest in the autumn time so it is harvested by man. Moreover, these harvested plants of bamboo are cut down into small strips. After that these tiny particles are crushed by applying force and make a liquid pulp. In addtion to the separation of long fibres from liquid is taken palce in the fifth stage of the manufacturing process.

However, we add water and amine oxide chemical to soften the fibres. Then a spin is produce to create yarn and after it fabric is ready to build a cloth. At the last stage we produced a shirt and a pair of socks by using bamboo yarn.

Overall, all these steps of creating fabrics from bamboo are inter linked to each other if anyone is missing the whole process will be stopped.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

You cover the main stages from planting and seasonal harvesting through processing the fibres and producing fabric and clothing. The overview also recognises that the stages form a connected process. Most details match the diagram, including the spring planting, autumn harvest, filtering, and the addition of water and amine oxide. However, some stages are described imprecisely: “a spin is produce” does not clearly explain that fibres are spun into yarn, and the final step is better reported as making clothing from the fabric rather than from “bamboo yarn.” The overview focuses on the steps being interlinked, rather than summarising the process’s progression from raw bamboo to finished products. A clearer overview and more precise descriptions of the final stages would make the account more complete.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.0

The response follows the process in its correct sequence and is divided into paragraphs, so the reader can generally follow the transformation from bamboo plants to finished items. Time and sequence markers such as “Initially,” “After that,” and “Then” help connect stages. However, several transitions are mechanical or do not express the relationship between ideas accurately: “Furthermore,” “Moreover,” and “However” are used where simple sequencing would be clearer. The final overview is also placed after the detailed stages but repeats the idea of connection without summarising the overall progression. Use a more deliberate paragraph structure—an overview followed by logically grouped stages—and rely on precise sequencing links to improve cohesion.

Lexical Resource: Band 6.0

You use an adequate range of process vocabulary, including “harvest,” “strips,” “liquid pulp,” “fibres,” and “amine oxide,” which helps communicate the diagram’s key operations. There are also attempts at more formal phrasing, such as “manufacturing process.” Some word choices and collocations are inaccurate or awkward, however: “a spin is produce” does not convey the action naturally, “fabric is ready to build a cloth” is unclear, and “inter linked” is not correctly formed. Spelling slips such as “Intially,” “addtion,” and “palce” also reduce accuracy. Choose standard process verbs such as “spin,” “weave,” and “produce,” and check spelling and natural word combinations.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.5

You attempt both simple and more complex sentence forms, including clauses with “so” and “if,” and the sequence is usually understandable. Some grammatical errors remain, particularly with verb forms and sentence construction. For example, “a spin is produce” needs a correctly formed verb, while “we add water … to soften the fibres” shifts into the present tense after earlier passive descriptions. “If anyone is missing the whole process will be stopped” also has an unclear conditional structure and does not accurately express the intended point. Articles and phrasing in “about process” and “a shirt and a pair of socks” could be handled more consistently. Keep the process description in a consistent present tense and practise accurate passive forms, such as “the fibres are softened” and “the yarn is woven.”
