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 image illustrates the manufacturing process of fabric from raw bamboo tree, There were nine steps involved to complete the process.

Overall, at the begining raw bamboo plant springs are harvested in autumn season, underwent several process like cutting, crushing, flitering etc. At last weaved by humans to make the final product dress .

The first stage involves growing the plants in farmland so, at autumn the perfect season to harvest bamboo will cut down by farmers. Then the collected pieces has been cutted in to stripes (small pieces) with the use of modern machines, again with the help of machines the cutted stripes are then crushed to make a liquid pulp, which later transformed to a yarn.

The impurites present in the liquid pulp must be removed so, The whole solution is then filtered to seperate the long fibers. Although, it is filtered the water and amine oxide were used to concentrate to soften the fibers. This fibres are then spined to make a yarn a role of ball by threads(bamboo fibers) is weaved to make fabric. Finally the fabric is stiched and designed by humans to make T-shirts and socks.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.5

You cover the process from planting through to the finished clothing, and the overview identifies the seasonal start and the main transformation stages. Several details are accurately reported, including harvesting in autumn, crushing the strips into pulp, filtering fibres, and using water and amine oxide to soften them. This is a strong account of the main sequence, though some points are unclear or go beyond the diagram: it does not specify farmland, say that farmers use machines, or show the fabric being stitched and designed by people. The overview also says the fabric is “weaved by humans,” which is not a feature shown. To make the summary more complete and precise, describe the final spinning, weaving, and clothing stages without adding unsupported production details.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.0

The response has a recognisable structure: an introduction and overview are followed by two paragraphs describing the stages. The process is generally traceable, and sequencing phrases such as “The first stage,” “then,” and “Finally” help guide the reader. However, the order becomes confusing when filtering and softening are described after the account of crushing and yarn production; the diagram shows filtering and softening before spinning. Some links are also mechanical or unclear, particularly “so” and “Although, it is filtered,” and the long final sentence combines several stages without clear boundaries. Organise the body strictly in diagram order and use paragraph breaks or sentence boundaries to distinguish each stage. This would make the progression clearer and cohesion less dependent on repeated sequencing words.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You use relevant process vocabulary, including “harvested,” “crushed,” “liquid pulp,” “filtered,” “fibers,” and “weaved,” so the reader can identify most stages. There are also attempts at more specific language, such as “concentrate to soften the fibers,” although this wording is not natural for the process. Spelling and word-choice errors are noticeable, including “begining,” “flitering,” “impurites,” “seperate,” “spined,” and “stiched.” Some combinations are awkward or imprecise, such as “a yarn a role of ball by threads” and “raw bamboo tree.” Aim for accurate process collocations and check spelling carefully; for example, describe fibres being spun into yarn and the yarn being woven into fabric. This would improve precision without requiring more elaborate vocabulary.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and more complex sentences, including a relative clause in “which later transformed to a yarn” and a contrast clause beginning “Although.” However, errors in sentence construction and verb forms are frequent enough to make some relationships difficult to follow. Examples include “There were nine steps involved to complete the process,” “the collected pieces has been cutted,” and “This fibres are then spined.” The opening also joins two sentences with a comma, while several later clauses are linked with “so” where a full stop would be clearer. Work on subject–verb agreement, passive forms, articles, and sentence boundaries. For instance, use “the pieces are cut into strips” and “the fibres are spun into yarn.” More accurate control of these patterns would make your process description easier to read.
