Student answer (Band 5.0)

This flow chart shows the manufectring of the fabric from bamboo . It is evident that to added amine oxcide to form the clothes. At first a harvester got a bamboo stick from the plant in the spring. Meanwhile then harvestes plucked .And starting work on it. Although after that it converted into strips with the help of the rollers which are very sharp, .Any how the strips crushed again to converted it into the pulp.After pulping filtering process carryed out. In the filtration process sepration process taken place. Mostly after this softer fibers going to added water and as well as amine oxcide for made it more soften. Afterwards that softern fiber converted in to the yarn. At second last step this yarn converted into wave to maake fiber. At the last step after ended up all the process or steps the final product made clothes.I n the form of socks and T- shirts.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You identify the process as making fabric from bamboo and include several central stages, such as crushing the strips into pulp, filtering, softening fibres, spinning yarn and producing clothing. However, the account only partially covers the diagram: the opening stages are confused, since bamboo is planted in spring and harvested in autumn, rather than a harvester obtaining a stick in spring. You also say rollers cut the bamboo, although the diagram shows a saw, and describe yarn being woven “to make fiber” instead of fabric. The overview is unclear and does not summarise the process as a whole. To strengthen the response, state that it is a linear process from planting to finished clothes, then report each stage accurately and in sequence.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response makes an attempt to follow the process from its beginning to its end, and sequencing expressions such as “At first,” “Afterwards” and “At the last step” help the reader recognise the intended order. However, progression is difficult to follow because several links are inaccurate or awkward: “Meanwhile then” is confusing, and “Although after that” does not express a clear relationship. The response is also presented as one continuous paragraph, with no distinct overview or grouping of stages. Some references, such as “it” and “this,” have unclear antecedents. Organise the answer into an introduction and overview followed by a clearly ordered description, and use simple, precise transitions such as “Next,” “After filtering” and “Finally.”

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some relevant process vocabulary, including “pulp,” “filtration,” “fibers,” “yarn” and “final product,” which shows an attempt to describe the stages rather than relying only on general language. However, the range is limited and frequent spelling, word-form and collocation problems make parts difficult to understand. Examples include “manufectring,” “oxcide,” “carryed out,” “sepration” and “softern.” Some choices also misrepresent the process: “wave” is used where “weave” is needed, and “rollers which are very sharp” is not an accurate description of the cutting tool shown. Use standard process terms and check spelling carefully; precise verbs such as “harvest,” “crush,” “filter,” “soften,” “spin” and “weave” would make the account clearer.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

The response attempts to connect ideas in longer sentences, for example, “Mostly after this softer fibers going to added water,” but these attempts are often grammatically faulty. Verb forms and sentence structure are recurring problems: “a harvester got a bamboo stick” and “filtering process carryed out” do not form accurate process descriptions, while “this yarn converted into wave” lacks a correctly formed passive construction. Articles and prepositions are also inconsistent, as in “to added amine oxide” and “in to the yarn.” Punctuation, including stray full stops and spacing, further interrupts the flow. Practise clear present-simple passive forms for process stages, such as “The strips are crushed” and “The fibres are softened,” and build shorter, complete sentences before adding complex clauses.
