Write at least 150 words.
Student answer (Band 6.0)
The given diagram illustrates the process of fabric how it is manufactured from bamboo.
Overall there are many processes of manufacturing fabric . It is a recycling process .nowadays process is going through the machines . The production involves two main phases ; a mechanical phases by a chemical phases and textile manufacturing phases . But mechanical phases is the best way of manufacturing the fibre .
Bamboo plants grow in the season of spring then it harvest in the season of autumn ,after that it cut into strips through the machine ,afterwards it converted to soften fibres and add some water and amine oxide ,subsequently it is filtered and separate long fibres from liquid and crush into strips to make liquid pulp , it spin to make yarn , it weave through machine to make fabric and finally new fibre is ready and sold to the market . It is the process of manufacturing the fabric from bamboo .

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 6.0
The response provides a basic overview of the process, but it fails to clearly distinguish between the two distinct methods shown in the diagram (mechanical vs. chemical). The description is overly simplistic and lacks the necessary detail to fully explain the stages. For instance, the mention of 'amine oxide' is accurate, but the explanation of how the two processes differ is confusing and lacks precision. The summary of the main features is present, but the lack of clear comparison between the mechanical and chemical pathways limits the score. To improve, ensure each step is clearly linked to the correct process.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.5
The response is organized into paragraphs, but the flow is disjointed. The use of cohesive devices is repetitive and mechanical, relying heavily on 'after that', 'afterwards', and 'subsequently'. The second paragraph is a long, run-on sentence that lacks proper punctuation, making it difficult to follow the logical progression of the manufacturing stages. Improving the use of transition words and breaking down long, complex sequences into shorter, clearer sentences would significantly enhance the readability and logical flow of the report.
Lexical Resource — Band 6.0
The vocabulary is somewhat limited and repetitive. While some technical terms like 'amine oxide' and 'liquid pulp' are used correctly, the overall range is basic. There are issues with word choice and collocation, such as 'mechanical phases by a chemical phases', which is grammatically and lexically awkward. The phrasing 'best way of manufacturing' is subjective and not appropriate for an objective report. Expanding the range of verbs and nouns related to industrial processes would help elevate the score.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.5
The response contains frequent grammatical errors, particularly regarding sentence structure and punctuation. There are many run-on sentences, such as the entire second paragraph, which lacks full stops. Subject-verb agreement and article usage are inconsistent (e.g., 'it harvest', 'it cut', 'it spin'). The range of structures is limited, consisting mostly of simple sentences or poorly connected clauses. To improve, focus on using correct punctuation to separate distinct ideas and ensure consistent verb forms throughout the description of the process.
