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 illustration shows the process of fabric manufacturing from bamboo trees.

Overall, the process shows how manufacturing process starts in different seasons ,like spring and autumn, involves both human and machine process to transform bamboo trees from different states, such as liquid and fibre to complete different products.

First the spring speak grown bamboo trees harvested in autumn season physically.After that, they been cut down in strips, then the strips goes through process of crushing to make liquid pulp.

As now strips are turn into liquid state, it been separate long fibre from liquid through filtration process.

After long fibre filtration, fiber been soften by adding water and amino oxide which prepare it for next step of process that is spinning to making yarn.Now the yarn made out of fiber is ready for weaving steps which turn into fabric.The fabric then used for making different clothing products like shirts and socks.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.5

You cover the main stages from planting and autumn harvesting through processing, spinning, weaving and making clothing, and your overview correctly identifies the seasonal start and the transformation of bamboo into products. This gives the reader a clear account of the process. Some details are less fully or precisely reported: the diagram specifies that water and amine oxide are added to soften the fibres, while your “amino oxide” is inaccurate; it also shows the final products as a T-shirt and socks, rather than shirts generally. The overview’s reference to both human and machine processes is relevant but could be more informative by highlighting the sequence from raw plant material to finished fabric and garments. More precise reporting of the labelled stages would strengthen the response.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.5

The response has a recognisable structure: an introduction, an overview and a chronological account of the stages. Sequencing expressions such as “First,” “After that,” “After” and “After long fibre filtration” help the reader follow the process, and the stages are presented in the correct general order. However, some links are mechanical or unclear, particularly “As now strips are turn into liquid state,” and the long final sentence moves through several stages without clear punctuation. Paragraphing is also limited, with most process details grouped together. To make progression smoother, use a separate paragraph for the processing stages and connect related steps with clearer references, such as “The resulting fibres are then softened before being spun into yarn.”

Lexical Resource: Band 6.0

You use a relevant range of process vocabulary, including “harvested,” “crushing,” “liquid pulp,” “filtration,” “spinning,” “weaving” and “fabric.” These terms show an adequate grasp of the topic, and the reader can generally understand the stages. There are, however, several inaccurate or awkward choices: “amino oxide” does not match the diagram’s “amine oxide,” “different states” is vague, and “complete different products” is not a natural way to describe the outcome. Some repetition of “process” and “fibre” also limits flexibility. Aim for more precise collocations and vary repeated terms—for example, describe the material as being “processed into” fibres and the final fabric as being “used to produce” garments.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and more complex sentence forms, including a sequence linked with “After that” and a clause beginning “which turn into fabric.” However, grammatical control is inconsistent, and errors sometimes make the relationships between stages difficult to follow. Examples include “the spring speak grown bamboo trees harvested,” “they been cut down,” and “the strips goes through”; these show problems with verb forms, agreement and sentence construction. Articles and punctuation are also unreliable, as in “ready for weaving steps” and the run-on sequence “spinning to making yarn.Now.” Practise forming clear passive sentences for processes, such as “The strips are crushed to produce liquid pulp,” and check subject–verb agreement, tense and sentence boundaries.
