Student answer (Band 5.0)

The diagram chart illustrates how fabric manufactured from bamboo. And process give below with drawing.

Overall, cloths is make by bamboo plants. It have ten step for make fabric. Some process is difficult but we also make in house.

First, we plant bamboo palnts and spring. After second step is cut bamboo tree, it is autumn. Third step cut into strips by machinary. and after crush strips and remove leaf moreover, convert to make liquid pulp. That liquid to filter and separate long fibres from liquid.

Next also make soften fibres and add water and amine oxide. And after they is convert in tread and make roll also call spin and it is to make yarn so aftre make fabric otherwise they do not make. Moreover make weave to make fabric. and atfer they was make cloth by weave. That tenth step complete process to make bamboo fabric. after sale for wear.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You identify the general subject and report several relevant stages, including planting, harvesting, cutting, crushing, filtering, softening, spinning and weaving. However, the account is only partially accurate: the diagram shows planting in spring and harvesting in autumn, but you say the second step is cutting; cutting is actually the third stage. You also describe removing leaves, which is not shown, and call the process ten steps when it has nine. The overview, “cloths is make by bamboo plants,” is too general and does not summarise the main sequence or its transformation from plant material into finished clothing. To strengthen the response, give a concise, accurate overview and report the stages in their correct order, including the final clothing products.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

There is a basic attempt to organise the process chronologically, with “First” and “Next” helping the reader follow some stages. The response also separates an overview from the process description. However, progression becomes difficult to track because several stages are crowded into long, loosely connected sentences, and transitions such as “moreover,” “otherwise” and repeated “and after” do not clearly show the relationships between steps. The final section repeats weaving and fabric production rather than moving cleanly to the diagram’s endpoint. Use one paragraph for a clear overview and another for the stages, grouped in sequence. Shorter sentences and precise links such as “After crushing,” “The pulp is then filtered,” and “Finally” would make the organisation more coherent.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some relevant process vocabulary, including “strips,” “liquid pulp,” “filter,” “fibres,” “spin,” “yarn” and “weave,” which shows a basic ability to describe the diagram. However, the range is limited and several word choices or collocations make the meaning unclear, such as “process give below with drawing,” “convert in tread,” and “make roll.” There are also noticeable spelling errors, including “palnts,” “machinary” and “aftre.” Some terms are repeated rather than varied, especially “make” and “fabric.” Aim for accurate process verbs and standard collocations: for example, say that fibres are softened, spun into yarn, and woven into fabric. Proofreading spelling would also improve clarity.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

The response mainly uses simple clauses and attempts a few longer sentences to connect stages, but these longer constructions are often difficult to follow. Frequent problems with verb forms, agreement, articles and sentence boundaries affect clarity: “cloths is make,” “It have ten step,” and “they was make cloth” are examples. The opening fragment, “And process give below with drawing,” also lacks a clear grammatical structure, while several sentences begin with lowercase “and” after a full stop. Practise accurate passive forms suited to a process description, such as “The strips are crushed” and “The fibres are softened,” alongside simple present-tense sequencing. Separating each stage into a complete sentence will help you control grammar and punctuation.
