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)

This diagram illustrates the process from planting to making garments from bamboo plant.

It includes planting, harvesting, cutting, crushing, filtration, softning, spining, weaving and ultimately to developed some garments.

Bamboo is generally planted in spring season and after reaching to a specific growth it is harvested in autumn. After harvesting, it is cut into strips and afterwards these strips are crushed to make a liquid pulp. Then this pulp is further filter to seperate the long fibers from the liquid.

For softening the fibers, water is added in addition to amine oxide. After softening the fiber, spinning process is started in which fiber is spin to make yarn and this become ready to use in formation of fabric. Fabric is formed through weaving process in which yarn is weaved to make fbric. At last, this fabric is use to make garments and all other things related to that at industrial level.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

The response covers the main stages in the correct order, from planting and autumn harvesting through processing the fibres, spinning yarn, weaving fabric and producing garments. It also includes useful details such as the seasons and the addition of water and amine oxide. However, the overview is mostly a list of stages rather than a clear summary of the process’s main phases. Some details are unclear or go beyond the diagram: “after reaching to a specific growth” is not specified, and “all other things related to that at industrial level” is unsupported. The final clothing stage is relevant, but could be stated more precisely. A stronger response would group the stages into cultivation, fibre processing and textile production, while reporting only information shown.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.5

The sequence is easy to follow, and the response uses a range of basic linking expressions, including “After harvesting,” “Then,” “After softening,” and “At last.” This gives the process a coherent overall progression. The main limitation is that the ideas are presented in one continuous block, with no distinct overview or paragraphing to separate the broad stages. Some links also feel repetitive or mechanical, particularly the repeated use of “After” and “process.” The reference in “this become ready to use” is not fully clear, and the final sentence adds a broad claim rather than neatly concluding the described sequence. Grouping the stages into paragraphs and using clearer references would make the organisation more controlled.

Lexical Resource: Band 6.0

There is adequate vocabulary for describing the process, including “harvesting,” “strips,” “liquid pulp,” “fibers,” “yarn” and “weaving.” The writer also attempts process-specific terms such as “filtration” and “softening,” and the meaning is generally clear. However, several spelling errors—“softning,” “spining,” “seperate” and “fbric”—reduce accuracy. Some word choices and collocations are awkward: “developed some garments,” “formation of fabric” and “all other things related to that” are imprecise or unnatural. Use standard process verbs and nouns consistently, such as “produce garments,” “make fabric” and “separate the fibres.” More precise vocabulary would improve clarity without requiring unnecessarily complex wording.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.5

The response uses both simple sentences and some longer structures, for example, “After harvesting, it is cut into strips and afterwards these strips are crushed to make a liquid pulp.” The sequence remains understandable, but some grammatical errors occur in verb forms, agreement and sentence construction. Examples include “this pulp is further filter,” “fiber is spin,” “this become ready,” “yarn is weaved,” and “this fabric is use.” These should be “is filtered,” “is spun,” “this becomes ready,” “yarn is woven,” and “is used.” There are also awkward article and preposition patterns in “in spring season” and “in formation of fabric.” Greater control of passive forms is especially important because the process is described mainly through actions performed on materials. Check each clause for a correctly formed verb.
