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 show the whole process of how babmboo fabric is made consisting of 9 stages from the growing of bamboo plants to the finsih product in shape of clothing like shirts and socks.

at initial stages the bamboo plants crop is cultivated in spring season and when the crop fully grows into a bamboo, then it is harvest by the farmers in autumn season, afterwards the bamboos goes through the cutting machine and converted into multiple strips then the bamboo strips are crushed until the liquid pulp is squeezed out of it. The whole liquid pulp is filtered to sperate the long fibres from the liquid, after separation water and amine oxide is added in the next process to soften fibres, then the soften long fibres goes through a spinning process and we make a yarn out of it. The yarn is used as a processed material to weave the bamboo fabric, and in the final stage different shapes of clothing are given to it for instance shirts and socks.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

You cover the process from planting bamboo in spring through to finished clothing, and the overview identifies the nine stages and the transformation into items such as shirts and socks. The main sequence is generally accurate, including harvesting in autumn, crushing the strips, filtering the fibres, softening them with water and amine oxide, then spinning and weaving. However, some details are less precise: the diagram shows liquid pulp being made by crushing, rather than saying it is “squeezed out,” and the final stage depicts clothing but does not explain that it is shaped from the fabric. A clearer overview of the process’s agricultural, fibre-processing and textile-making phases would make the key features more fully developed.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.0

The stages are presented in a logical order, and sequencing expressions such as “afterwards,” “then” and “in the final stage” help the reader follow the process. The response also moves clearly from cultivation to manufacture and then to the finished products. However, nearly all the information is packed into one long paragraph, with several stages joined into an extended sentence. This makes the progression feel somewhat mechanical and can obscure the boundaries between steps. Use separate paragraphs for the overview and the detailed sequence, and divide the process into shorter sentences. Also ensure that references such as “it” and “the crop” clearly identify whether they refer to bamboo, pulp, yarn or fabric.

Lexical Resource: Band 6.0

You use a suitable range of process vocabulary, including “cultivated,” “filtered,” “fibres,” “spinning” and “weave,” which allows you to describe the main stages. Some less common terms are attempted, but several choices are inaccurate or awkward: “the crop fully grows into a bamboo” and “liquid pulp is squeezed out” do not describe the diagram naturally, while “processed material” is vague. There are also spelling errors, including “babmboo,” “finsih” and “sperate.” These do not prevent understanding, but careful proofreading and more precise collocations would improve clarity. Prefer direct process language, such as saying that the strips are crushed to produce pulp and that yarn is woven into fabric.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and complex sentence forms, including a sequence of clauses linked with “when,” “then” and “afterwards.” However, some errors in agreement, verb forms and sentence construction remain. For example, “the diagram show” needs subject–verb agreement, “it is harvest” requires a past participle, and “the bamboos goes” has an agreement error. The long sentence beginning “at initial stages” also joins many independent process steps with commas, making punctuation and clause boundaries difficult to control. Practise accurate passive forms for processes—for example, “the strips are crushed”—and break long sequences into shorter sentences. This will make your meaning more consistently clear.
