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 manufacturing process of fabric made from bamboo.

Overall, the prodedure consists of nine different stages. The process starts from the cultivation of babmoo plants and after passing it through several stages ultimately making clothes from them.

Initially, the bamboo plantes are cultivated in spring season and they are harvested in autumn. In third step, the the cutting process of long bamboo plants into strips accomplished. Subsequently, the strips are crushed to make liquid pulp. Moreover, the filteration process to seperate long fibres from liquid pulp is completed in fifth stage.

In next stage, for making soften fibres from the water and amino oxided are added into long fibres. Furthermore, the spin process is completed in seventh step of process to make yarn from soften fabrics. In next stage, weave process is completed to make fabric from these yarns. Finally, they utilize fabric for manufacturing clothes and others items.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

You cover the main stages in the correct order, including seasonal planting and harvesting, crushing, filtering, softening, spinning and weaving. The overview also identifies the process as a sequence that ends in clothing, which gives the reader a useful sense of its start and finish. However, some details are unclear or inaccurate: the diagram specifies amine oxide, not “amino oxided,” and the fibres are softened by adding water and amine oxide rather than making them “from” those materials. The final stage shows clothing items, but “and others items” adds an unsupported outcome. To make the account more complete and precise, describe the final products as the diagram shows and clarify the transformation at each stage.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.5

The response has a clear overall arrangement: an introduction and overview are followed by the early and later stages in separate paragraphs. Sequencing expressions such as “Initially,” “Subsequently,” “In next stage,” and “Finally” help the reader follow the process, and the stages are generally presented in the right order. This coherent progression is a strength. However, some linking is mechanical, with “In next stage” repeated, and “Moreover” does not clearly express the relationship between crushing and filtering. A few references are also vague, such as “them” in the overview and “these yarns.” Use more varied, precise transitions and name the material being processed when a pronoun could refer to more than one thing.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You use relevant process vocabulary, including “cultivation,” “harvested,” “strips,” “liquid pulp,” “fibres,” “yarn,” and “weave,” which helps communicate the stages. There are also attempts at more technical terms, but several are inaccurate or awkward: “prodedure,” “babmoo,” “plantes,” “filteration,” “seperate,” and “amino oxided.” Phrases such as “the spin process is completed” and “soften fabrics” are not natural or precise for this context. These errors make the vocabulary less controlled, even though the general meaning remains understandable. Focus on accurate spelling and natural process collocations, for example, “the fibres are spun into yarn” and “the yarn is woven into fabric.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt a mix of sentence forms, including a passive construction in “they are harvested in autumn” and sequencing clauses such as “after passing it through several stages.” However, control is uneven, and several sentences have faulty structures or unclear relationships between clauses. For example, “the cutting process … accomplished” lacks a correctly formed verb, while “for making soften fibres from the water and amino oxided are added” has an incomplete and confusing construction. The overview phrase “ultimately making clothes” also does not connect grammatically to the preceding clause. Use complete passive sentences consistently for this process, such as “The strips are cut and then crushed,” and check articles, verb forms and clause structure.
