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 diagram illustrated how bamboo fabric is made through severals steps.

Overall, the process consists of nine stages , beginning with growth and after harvasting the bomboo plant ending with the production of clothes item such as socks and shirt. The fabric is made through the cutting, crushing, filtering , softening, spinning and waving.

Initially, the bomboo plant grows in spring and the plants are harvests in autumn after the harvesting the leaves are removed from stem then stems are cutted into small strips afterward the strips are crushed into machine to make liquid pulp.or in the fifth step te long fibres are separated from liquid to make fibres this process is called filtering process.

After thar the softening process started water and amine oxide are added to make soft fibres. after ward soft fibres are spun to make yarn. and yarn are collected to make small balls. in the eigth step yarn are woven to make fabric sheet. and this fibric sheet are used to make clothing items such as shirt and socks.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.5

The response covers the process from planting through to finished clothing and gives a clear overall summary of its nine stages. It correctly reports the seasonal timing, the conversion of strips into pulp, the separation and softening of fibres, and the final spinning and weaving. The overview also identifies the main transformation from bamboo to clothing. Some details, however, are not shown in the diagram: the claim that leaves are removed is unsupported, and the yarn is not described as being collected into balls. The account of the filtering stage is also somewhat unclear. This is a strong, relevant summary with most key features included; greater precision and avoiding inferred details would make the coverage more complete.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.0

The response has a recognisable structure: an introduction, an overview, and two paragraphs describing the stages in sequence. Sequencing expressions such as “Initially,” “After thar,” and “in the eigth step” help the reader follow the process. However, the progression is sometimes weakened by run-on sentences and abrupt transitions, particularly in the long sentence beginning “Initially, the bomboo plant grows…” The phrase “or in the fifth step” does not clearly connect the filtering stage to the preceding information, and repeated use of “and” makes some links mechanical. Use one or two stages per sentence, and connect them with precise transitions such as “Next” and “Once filtered” to make the sequence smoother and references clearer.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You use relevant process vocabulary, including “harvesting,” “liquid pulp,” “fibres,” “spun,” and “woven,” which allows the main stages to be understood. There is also some useful variation in describing the transformation of the material. However, spelling and word-choice errors are noticeable, including “bomboo,” “harvasting,” “waving” for weaving, and “fibric.” Some expressions are also imprecise or unnatural, such as “crushed into machine” and “clothing items.” Aim for accurate process collocations and consistent spelling; for example, describe strips as being “crushed to form pulp” and the final products as “garments.” This would make the vocabulary more precise and reliable.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

The response attempts both simple and more extended sentence forms, and the overall meaning is generally recoverable. However, errors in verb forms, agreement, articles, and sentence boundaries occur across the response. Examples include “the plants are harvests,” “stems are cutted,” and “yarn are woven”; these should use forms such as “are harvested,” “are cut,” and “yarn is woven.” Several sentences also run together, as in “After thar the softening process started water and amine oxide are added,” while full stops and capital letters are inconsistently used. Practise forming accurate passive sentences, which are especially useful for process descriptions, and separate each stage into a complete sentence. More consistent control of these patterns would improve clarity.
