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 the process of making fabric from the bamboo.

overall, to make peace of cloth from bamboo it involves nine stages where it starts with cultivating it in spring and ends with making the desired things using the fabric.

To make a cloth from bamboo it all statrs with planting it in the spring where it is grown up to the autumn to harvest. In the process where large stem was cut into strips using machinary subsequently these strips were crushed to extract liquid pulp from it. further the liquid will pass through filters to separate the long fibres from it.

furthermore the collected long fibre will processed through water and amine oxide to make it softer, then the smooth fibre was spinned to make it a yarn. The final process is to weave the collected yarn to make a desired fabric. Therfore the collected fabric is used to make different things like tshirts, socks or other dress materials.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

You cover the main sequence from planting in spring through harvesting, processing the bamboo into fibres, spinning yarn, weaving fabric, and producing clothing. The overview identifies the nine stages and the start and end points, while details such as filtering out long fibres and adding water and amine oxide are accurately included. However, some stages are less fully described: the crushing step is mentioned but its purpose—making liquid pulp—is not clearly stated, and the final clothing stage is presented as a general use rather than explicitly as the diagram’s last step. A more precise overview and clearer explanation of each transformation would make the report more complete.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.0

The response has a clear overall arrangement: an introduction and overview are followed by the early and later stages in separate paragraphs. The sequence is generally easy to follow, and connectors such as “subsequently,” “further,” and “then” help show progression. However, some linking is mechanical or repetitive, particularly the repeated use of “further,” and the opening overview begins with lowercase “overall,” which weakens presentation. References such as “it” and “these strips” are mostly understandable, but “the collected long fibre” could be more clearly tied to the filtering stage. Use a wider range of natural sequencing expressions and make references explicit to improve flow.

Lexical Resource: Band 6.0

You use an adequate range of process vocabulary, including “cultivating,” “harvest,” “strips,” “liquid pulp,” “fibres,” “weave,” and “fabric.” These terms allow the reader to understand the stages, and some choices, such as “separate the long fibres,” are appropriately precise. There are, however, several inaccurate or awkward forms: “peace of cloth” appears to mean “piece of cloth,” “machinary” is misspelled, and “spinned” should be “spun.” Phrases such as “desired things” and “other dress materials” are also vague or unnatural in this context. Aim for precise process collocations, for example “finished garments” and “the resulting fabric,” and check spelling and word forms.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.5

You attempt both simple and more complex sentence forms, including a relative clause in “where it is grown up to the autumn” and a sequence of actions linked with “subsequently.” The stages remain understandable despite some grammatical errors. These include missing or incorrect verb forms in “the collected long fibre will processed” and “the smooth fibre was spinned,” as well as tense inconsistency between present and past forms (“will pass,” “was spinned,” “is used”). There are also article and sentence-boundary issues, such as “to make it a yarn” and the lowercase start after a full stop in “further.” Use the present simple consistently for a process and check that each verb has the required auxiliary and form.
