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 illustrates how fabric is making from bamboo plant.

Overall, the process have 9 main stages, beginning with plantation of bamboo plant, and ending with making fabric from weave.

First stage involve the plantation of bamboo plant that usually occurs in spring season, following by this step, harvesting the bamboo plant manually by farmers in Autumn season. Moreover, in the third stage, these bamboo plants transfer to a cutting mechine where mechine cut bamboo plant into tiny strips, afterwards these strips going to a process of making liquid pulp. In the fifth stage that is more significant for this process, separate long fibers from liquid through the help of a filter.

Turning to the remainning stages, in the sixth stage soften fibers that was separated from liquid pulp, add water and amine oxide in these soften fibers, followed by this step, making a goal shape yarm and make weave that make fabric from this yarm, while in the final stage manufacture clothes in different varities such as, T shirts, Socks, and other basic clothes.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.5

You cover the process from planting through to finished clothing, and the overview identifies its nine stages and the seasonal start. The details about spring planting, autumn harvesting, cutting, crushing, filtering, softening, spinning and weaving are generally grounded in the diagram. This gives the account a clear sense of the full process. Some stages, however, are less fully or precisely reported: the overview says the process ends with “making fabric from weave,” whereas the final stage shown is clothing made from the fabric. The description of spinning as making a “goal shape” is unclear, and the role of water and amine oxide could be stated more directly. Clarifying these points and distinguishing the final clothing stage from weaving would make the coverage more complete and precise.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.5

The response has a recognisable overall structure: an introduction and overview are followed by the early stages and then the remaining stages. Sequencing expressions such as “First stage,” “following by this step,” and “Turning to the remainning stages” help the reader follow the process. The progression is mostly logical, and the stages are presented in the correct general order. However, several links are mechanically attached to long sentences, especially the sentence beginning “Moreover, in the third stage” and continuing through the liquid-pulp stage. This makes the relationships between steps less clear. Paragraphing the process into clearer groups and using shorter sentences or more precise transitions would improve cohesion and make the sequence easier to follow.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You use relevant process vocabulary, including “harvesting,” “strips,” “liquid pulp,” “filter,” “fibers,” and “amine oxide,” which helps communicate the main stages. There is also some attempt to use more specific language, such as “manually” and “significant.” However, word choice and collocation are often inaccurate or unclear: “fabric is making,” “plantation of bamboo plant,” “goal shape yarm,” and “make weave” do not express the intended meanings naturally. Spelling errors such as “mechine,” “remainning,” “varities,” and “yarm” also reduce precision. Aim for standard process collocations and check spelling; for example, describe bamboo as being planted, yarn as being spun, and fabric as being woven.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and more extended sentence forms, including clauses linked with “following by this step” and “while in the final stage.” The reader can generally identify the intended sequence, but grammatical control is uneven, and errors occur in basic verb forms, agreement, articles and sentence construction. Examples include “the process have 9,” “First stage involve,” and “these strips going to a process.” The sentence about softening fibres also lacks a clear main clause: “in the sixth stage soften fibers that was separated…” These problems sometimes make the process difficult to interpret. Build accuracy first with complete subject–verb sentences, then combine them using correctly formed participles or subordinate clauses. Check agreement and tense consistently throughout.
