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 digram depicts how fabric is maked from to bamboo.the process is separate in several steps.

overall,the process is separate in multiple stapes.the process began to the planted bamboo in plants.it process is becoming in filtering,crushing and spining.instead,it will provided to the manufacturing and packaging and imported to around the world.

fistly,the process began to the plant bamboo in plants.the process come in next step harvest and bamboo are harvesting in manmade process.however,the bamboo cut in various strips and come in the next step.next,the crush strips are making into liquid form.the next step is filtering. the filter is converted into the liquids different types of large fabrics.

secondly,the add some water and amine oxide and the process is convert into the soften fiberes then spinning the fibers and make into yam.the yam is weaveing and manufacturing into the fabrics.the process is coming in packaging and imported into the multiple continents.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You identify the topic as a process and mention several relevant stages, including planting, harvesting, crushing, filtering, softening, spinning and weaving. However, the account only partially represents the diagram: the overview is unclear and does not accurately summarise the process, while the final stage shown is clothing production, not packaging or importing. The description of filtering is also misinterpreted as producing “different types of large fabrics”; the diagram instead shows long fibres being separated from liquid. Some stages are named but not explained clearly enough to show how the raw bamboo becomes fabric. To strengthen the response, give a concise overview of the complete sequence and report only stages and outcomes shown in the diagram.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

There is some organisation into an overview and two body paragraphs, and sequencing words such as “firstly,” “next” and “secondly” help signal stages. However, progression is not consistently clear: the overview repeats the idea that the process is separate, and the body paragraphs do not always follow the diagram’s sequence precisely. Connectors such as “instead” do not express a clear relationship, and references like “the process” are repeated without clarifying which stage is meant. The final paragraph also introduces packaging and importing, which interrupts the account of the illustrated process. Group the stages in order, use transitions that accurately show sequence, and make each sentence’s subject clear.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some relevant process vocabulary, including “harvest,” “strips,” “liquid,” “filtering,” “fibres,” “spinning” and “weaving,” so the reader can recognise the general topic. However, the range is limited and several word choices or forms make the meaning difficult to follow, such as “the process is separate,” “large fabrics” and “yam” for yarn. There are also noticeable spelling errors, including “digram,” “stapes,” “spining” and “fiberes.” Aim for accurate, task-specific terms and check spelling and collocations. For example, describe fibres being separated from liquid, then spun into yarn and woven into fabric, rather than suggesting that filtering produces fabric.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

The response attempts both simple and longer sentences, but control is inconsistent, and errors frequently make relationships between stages unclear. Examples include “the process began to the planted bamboo in plants,” “the bamboo cut in various strips,” and “the add some water and amine oxide.” These show problems with verb forms, sentence construction, articles and agreement. Sentence boundaries and punctuation are also unreliable, as in “bamboo.the process” and “overall,the process.” Use straightforward, complete sentences first: “Bamboo is planted in spring and harvested in autumn.” Then connect stages with accurate passive forms, such as “The strips are crushed to produce liquid pulp.” Careful editing of verb forms and punctuation would improve clarity.
