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 5.0)
The flow chart illustrate the process of textile from bamboo plants.
Overall, bamboo fabric has nine stages till fine clothing. The raw bamboo pass through cutting process then flow towards other cleaning steps. The polluted liquid separated from clean fibres and go through yarn making spin. Then at least it convered into fine wearable clothing.
In the begining, the plant bamboo plants were have full natrual grown in the spirng season. In the autumn period the farmer harvest the bamboo plant and sends through cutting machine, producing strips of bamboo, these gone through one, two and three stages respectively. Moving further, the strips are crushed at fourth stage to make liquid pulp in order to separate long fibres from liquid in the filter machine at fifth processing unit.
In sixth & seventh section eachly, soften fibres are mixed with water and amine oxide rotating till to form yarn. Following to eighth process, the yarn will weave to make fabric, then the manufacturing industry utilize the fabric to prepare new outfits in the last.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0
The student makes a clear attempt to summarise the nine-stage diagram illustrating how bamboo fabric is manufactured. While the response identifies several key stages—such as planting, harvesting, cutting into strips, crushing into pulp, filtering, spinning, and weaving—there are noticeable inaccuracies in the reporting of the sequence and details. For example, the student states that 'soften fibres are mixed with water and amine oxide rotating till to form yarn', misinterpreting the step where water and amine oxide are added to soften the fibres before the filtering stage. Furthermore, the overview is rather simplistic and does not fully capture the cyclical or comprehensive nature of the process. Consequently, the task is only partially addressed in terms of accuracy and depth.
Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0
The response is divided into three paragraphs, attempting an introduction, an overview, and body sections. However, the logical progression is frequently disrupted by awkward referencing and mechanical cohesive devices, such as 'Moving further', 'In sixth & seventh section eachly', and 'Following to eighth process'. Paragraphing is attempted, but the grouping of ideas is disjointed, and referencing between sentences is often unclear (e.g., 'these gone through one, two and three stages respectively'). While an overall structure is discernible, the lack of smooth transitions and precise logical links holds this criterion back.
Lexical Resource: Band 4.5
The vocabulary used is basic and frequently marred by word-formation errors and inaccurate collocations. Examples include 'convered into fine wearable clothing' (converted), 'plant bamboo plants were have full natrual grown' (natural growth), and 'section eachly' (each). While the student attempts some less common vocabulary related to the process (such as 'pulp', 'fibres', 'spinning', and 'weaving'), the high frequency of lexical inaccuracies and spelling mistakes ('spirng', 'natrual', 'convered') significantly impedes smooth reading and limits the score.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5
The student exhibits a very limited range of grammatical structures, relying heavily on simple sentences and error-prone attempts at complex constructions. Frequent grammatical errors include subject-verb agreement issues ('The flow chart illustrate'), incorrect verb forms ('were have full natrual grown', 'the yarn will weave'), and faulty prepositions ('in the autumn period', 'in the last'). Punctuation and sentence boundaries are also weak in places, leading to run-on structures. These persistent errors cause frequent strain for the reader throughout the response.
