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 given diagram illuatrates the various steps in manufacturing fabric from a bamboo.

Overall, the process consists of nine stages highlighting the agricultural and industrial steps. Notably, it involves chemical and mechanical process starting from a planting a bamboo and ending with making fabric.

In intially step, the bamboo plant is grown in spring season and then it is harvested in autumn. Once it get matured the harvested bamboo is cut into strips marking the beginning of a plant to textile. The strips are crushed to make liquid pulp to extract the fibric for the next process. After that the filteration separates the fibres from the liquid.

In the next step the fibres is soften by adding the water and amino acid to make fibre soft and then the spun to make a yarn by making it weave to make a fabric. Finally, from the fabric T-shirt and socks is made.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

You cover the main sequence from planting in spring and harvesting in autumn through to producing fabric and finished clothing, and your overview correctly identifies nine stages and both agricultural and industrial activity. This gives the reader a relevant account of the process. However, some details are unclear or inaccurate: the diagram specifies amine oxide, not amino acid, and the final stages are described as though spinning and weaving happen in one step. The overview could also distinguish the conversion of bamboo into fibres and yarn from the final weaving and clothing stages. To strengthen the response, report each stage precisely and make the overall transformation clearer.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.5

The response has a clear overall arrangement: an introduction and overview are followed by the early stages and then the later stages. Sequencing expressions such as “Overall,” “After that,” and “In the next step” help the reader follow the process, and the order broadly matches the diagram. This meets the lower-band expectation of coherent organisation and shows some features of stronger progression. However, the final sentence compresses spinning, weaving, and making clothing into an unclear chain, while “In intially step” is an awkward transition. Use one stage per sentence where possible, and connect each paragraph with precise references such as “The filtered fibres are then softened” to make the progression smoother and less mechanical.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You use relevant process vocabulary, including “harvested,” “strips,” “liquid pulp,” “fibres,” and “fabric,” so the reader can generally understand the subject. There is also an attempt to use more specific terms such as “manufacturing” and “filteration.” However, spelling and word-choice errors are noticeable: “ill uatrates” (written as “illuatrates”), “fibric,” and “filteration” are inaccurate forms, while “amino acid” misnames the chemical shown. Some phrasing is also imprecise, such as “the beginning of a plant to textile.” Build accuracy by checking technical terms and choosing standard process collocations, for example “the start of the conversion from bamboo to textile.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and more complex sentence forms, including a time clause in “Once it get matured” and a passive construction in “the bamboo plant is grown.” The overall meaning is usually recoverable, but errors in verb forms, agreement, articles, and sentence construction are frequent enough to make some stages difficult to follow. Examples include “Once it get matured,” “the fibres is soften,” and “T-shirt and socks is made.” The final sequence, “then the spun to make a yarn by making it weave,” is particularly unclear grammatically. Practise accurate passive forms for process descriptions, such as “the fibres are softened” and “the yarn is woven into fabric,” and check subject–verb agreement.
