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 given diagram illustrates the manufacturing of fabrics from bamboo plant.

overall, this is a linear process and contains several steps beginning with a simple plant of bamboo and ended with the formation of fabrics.

firstly, the type of bambo plant is growing in the soil in the spring season while after the fully growth or reproduction, the plant is harvested in the autumn season and after it the bamboo plant is cut into small pieces with a cutting strip or a cutter.then these small pieces crush with a crushing machine to convert into a liquid pulp and separate the solid particles of tree strips.

secondly, the liquid pulp is then filtered by a funnel and separate the long fibres from the pure liquid pulp.after the filtration, the addition of water and amine oxide in the soften fibres and these liquid soak the moisture from it and make a yarn .these yarn are now weave to make fibric and this fibric is convert into the designated outfits for the people.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.5

You cover the main stages from planting and autumn harvesting through processing, spinning, weaving and making clothing. The overview correctly identifies a linear process, and details such as adding water and amine oxide and separating long fibres show good attention to the diagram. This meets the task well, with some features described in useful detail. However, a few points are unclear or inaccurate: the diagram shows bamboo being cut into strips, not “small pieces,” and filtering separates long fibres from liquid rather than “solid particles” from the strips. The final clothing stage is included, but the explanation of how the fibres are softened and spun is not fully clear. More precise reporting of these stages would strengthen the response further.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.0

The response has a recognisable structure: an introduction and overview are followed by a description of the early and later stages. Sequencing words such as “firstly,” “secondly,” and “after” help the reader follow the process, and the stages are generally presented in the correct order. However, the two long body sentences contain several steps each, so the links between individual stages are sometimes difficult to follow. For example, the transition from filtering to softening and then yarn production is compressed into one sentence. Some linking is also mechanical, and punctuation around sentence boundaries is inconsistent. Grouping the stages into shorter, clearly punctuated sentences and using references such as “the resulting fibres” would make the progression smoother.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You use relevant process vocabulary, including “harvested,” “filtered,” “fibres,” “pulp,” and “weave,” which allows you to describe the diagram’s main actions. There is also an attempt to use more specific terms such as “amine oxide” and “designated outfits.” However, word choice and spelling are often inaccurate or unnatural, including “bambo plant,” “fully growth,” “cutting strip,” “fibric,” and “soak the moisture.” These choices sometimes make the intended process difficult to interpret. Aim for accurate forms and natural collocations, such as “bamboo plants,” “fully grown,” “cut into strips,” and “fabric.” A more consistent range of precise process verbs would improve clarity.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and more extended sentence forms, and the overall sequence can usually be understood. However, control of verb forms, agreement, articles and sentence boundaries is inconsistent. Examples include “this is a linear process and contains,” “the plant is harvested … and after it the bamboo plant is cut,” and “these yarn are now weave.” The final sentence also shifts between singular and plural forms without clear agreement. Several clauses are joined together with limited punctuation, making the longer sentences hard to process. Practise forming accurate passive constructions for process descriptions—for example, “the strips are crushed” and “the fibres are softened”—and check subject–verb agreement and tense consistency when revising.
