Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

Write at least 150 words.

Student answer (Band 4.5)

The given process diagram illustrates the how fabric is manufacture form bamboo. The process give some features and it was comparisons.

Overall, the bamboo fabric has first and most important part was the plant bamboo.The planting on the season of spring. However, after some important process crush strips to make liquid pulp, filter separate long fibers form febric. At the end of last step it was ready to febric.

On the one hand, febric manufectuting from bamboo it was the amzing process the first and important part was plant, in the season of spring. Ergo, the workers harvest autumn. further more, the plants cut into strips, like one type of machine. Crush the strips to make a liquid pulp. Filter to the separate long fibers from febric.

On the other hand, softer fibers to add water and amine oxide. In addition, spin to make yam. Dufferent waves to make a febric which is important part. The lasr step was the ready your febric such as shocks, t-shirts and many more.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You identify the process as bamboo fabric production and mention several relevant stages, including planting in spring, harvesting in autumn, crushing, filtering, softening, spinning and weaving. However, the account only partially covers the diagram: the overview is unclear, and the sequence and purpose of some stages are not reported accurately. For example, “Filter to the separate long fibers from febric” misstates what is separated—the fibres are separated from liquid—and the final stage is finished clothing, not simply fabric being “ready.” The description also gives little explanation of how the stages connect. To strengthen the response, provide a concise overview of the full sequence, then report each stage in order and distinguish yarn, fabric and finished garments.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.0

There is an attempt to organise the response into an introduction, an overview and two body paragraphs, and some sequence markers such as “Overall,” “On the one hand” and “In addition” are used. However, the progression is difficult to follow because the stages are split across paragraphs without a clear organising principle, and some steps are repeated, such as planting and harvesting. Several linking expressions do not show the relationship between ideas accurately: “On the one hand” and “On the other hand” suggest a contrast, although the process is sequential. The overview also mixes stages rather than summarising the whole process. Group the stages in diagram order and use straightforward links such as “Next,” “After this” and “Finally” to make the sequence clear.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

The response uses some task-related vocabulary, including “harvest,” “strips,” “liquid pulp,” “fibers,” “amine oxide” and “spin.” This shows an attempt to describe the manufacturing process, but the range is limited and several word choices or spellings make the meaning unclear. Examples include “febric” for fabric, “yam” for yarn, “Dufferent waves” where weaving is intended, and “shocks” for socks. Phrases such as “the amzing process” and “some important process” are vague or unsuitable for a factual process description. Aim for precise process terms and check spelling carefully; using “weave the yarn into fabric” would communicate the final production stages more clearly.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You attempt both simple statements and longer constructions, but grammatical control is inconsistent, and errors sometimes make relationships between ideas hard to understand. The opening, “illustrates the how fabric is manufacture form bamboo,” has problems with article use, word order and verb form. Other examples include “The process give some features,” “the bamboo fabric has first and most important part was,” and “workers harvest autumn,” where agreement, tense and sentence structure are faulty. Many clauses are fragments, such as “Crush the strips to make a liquid pulp.” Use complete sentences with a consistent present simple for process descriptions: for example, “The strips are crushed to produce liquid pulp.” Practise accurate passive forms and clear sentence boundaries.
