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)

The givin pictures illustrates the process of fabric made by bamboo.

Overall, the nine photos represent 'how bamboo fabric is manufactured' first three pics discribe how man plated bamboo and then ready for manufacturing and the other six diagrams show the process of products making.

First, farmer grew up their crop and then hervest it after few months and then cut into the pieces and in step four the bamboo strips are crush and make it clean gor nezt process.

The next step discribed the material that is ready for making products is filtered. When water is evapourate and the giving material convert into the softern fibres,so the chemical who is made by water and amine oxide is added. Spins are ready for making fibric so we make T-shirts socks and other dreses.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You identify the process as bamboo fabric production and include several relevant stages, such as planting, harvesting, cutting, crushing, filtering, softening and making clothing. However, the account is only partial: the overview does not clearly summarise the full sequence, and the final stages of spinning the fibres into yarn and weaving the yarn into fabric are not accurately explained. The description also misreads the diagram when it says water evaporates; it shows water and amine oxide being added to soften the fibres. The response contains 133 words, below the required 150, so it does not meet the task’s length requirement. To improve, give a clear overview of the complete process and describe each stage accurately, including the final clothing illustrations.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response has a basic structure, with an opening, an overview and paragraphs describing stages, and it generally follows the process from planting towards the finished products. Sequencing words such as “First,” “then” and “The next step” help the reader follow the order. However, progression becomes unclear in the final paragraph: filtering, softening, spinning and making garments are compressed into a confusing sequence, and the link between yarn, fabric and clothing is not made explicit. Some sentences also contain several stages joined by repeated “and then,” which makes the account feel mechanical. Use one or two stages per sentence, and organise the body so the growing and preparation stages are distinct from fibre processing and final manufacture.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some relevant process vocabulary, including “harvest,” “strips,” “filtered,” “fibres” and “amine oxide,” which helps identify the subject. However, the range is limited and several spelling and word-choice errors make parts difficult to understand, for example “givin,” “hervest,” “evapourate,” “softern” and “fibric.” Some expressions are also imprecise: “man plated bamboo” and “the material that is ready for making products” do not describe the stages clearly. Aim for accurate process terms and natural collocations, such as “bamboo is planted,” “the fibres are softened” and “the yarn is woven into fabric.” Proofreading spelling and choosing precise verbs would make the description clearer.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and longer sentences, and the opening overview shows an effort to combine information. However, the range is limited, and complex sentences are often faulty, so the reader sometimes has to work to understand the relationships between stages. For example, “farmer grew up their crop” has problems with the subject and verb pattern, while “When water is evapourate and the giving material convert” contains incorrect verb forms and agreement. Articles and sentence boundaries are also inconsistent, as in “the chemical who is made by water and amine oxide is added.” Practise accurate passive forms for process descriptions, such as “The strips are crushed” and “The fibres are softened,” and check subject–verb agreement and punctuation when joining clauses.
