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)

Given diafram illustrates about the process of making garnments from bamboo plants. It contains 8 steps starting from the Spring to autumn and then it cunitinue till producing garnments.

Frstly Plant bamboo in the spring season after a few months in autumn farmers harvest bamboo. They cut bambo into strips through the cutter matchine, Strips moreover crush and make liquid pulp with it. That liquid pulp filter to separate long fibres and that fiber change into soft fibres.

In the soft fibres water and amine oxide added to get spin and from that you make yam with that yam, Farbic is gain which known as weaven with that you produce garnments for wearing.

The process from planting bamboo to cut and these pices change into soften fibres with that water and amine oxide added to get the yam and Fabic that fabic can be use to produce different garnments like sirt, socks and many more.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You identify the process as making garments from bamboo and include several central stages, from planting and harvesting through to producing fabric and clothing. However, the account is only partially complete and some steps are unclear or inaccurately described. The diagram has nine stages, but you say it contains eight, and the overview does not clearly summarise the full sequence. In particular, the final stages should be distinguished: fibres are softened by adding water and amine oxide, then spun into yarn, woven into fabric, and made into clothing. Your description mentions these, but phrases such as “get spin” and “fabric is gain” make the sequence difficult to follow. A clearer overview and more precise reporting of each stage would strengthen the response.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response follows the general order of the process, and words such as “Firstly,” “after,” and “then” help signal sequence. However, the organisation is limited: the opening is followed by two dense paragraphs that combine several stages, and the final paragraph repeats much of the earlier information rather than adding a distinct feature. Connections between steps are sometimes unclear, especially in “In the soft fibres water and amine oxide added to get spin and from that you make yam.” Use one paragraph for an overview and another for the stages, grouping the agricultural and manufacturing phases. Clearer sentence boundaries and more precise links between each action would make the progression easier to follow.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some relevant process vocabulary, including “harvest,” “strips,” “liquid pulp,” “fibres,” and “weave,” which helps convey the topic. However, the range is limited and several spelling and word-choice errors make parts of the description difficult to understand: “diafram,” “cunitinue,” “yam” for yarn, and “Fabic” for fabric. Some expressions are also unnatural, such as “fabric is gain” and “that fabric can be use.” Choose accurate process verbs and use them consistently—for example, “filter the pulp,” “soften the fibres,” “spin the fibres into yarn,” and “weave the yarn into fabric.” Proofreading technical terms and avoiding repeated use of “with that” would improve clarity and precision.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You attempt to describe a sequence using both simple and linked clauses, but grammatical control is uneven, and errors frequently obscure relationships between actions. For example, “That liquid pulp filter to separate long fibres” lacks a passive verb, while “water and amine oxide added” also needs “are.” The sentence beginning “In the soft fibres” has an unclear structure, and “that fabric can be use” has an incorrect verb form. Sentence boundaries and punctuation are also inconsistent, as seen in the long, comma-linked final sentence. Practise accurate passive constructions for process descriptions—such as “The pulp is filtered” and “The fibres are softened”—and check subject–verb agreement, articles, and verb forms when revising.
