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 given chart ilustrates about the manufucturing process in which plant bamboo is reused to make fabric clothes .

Overall, it can be seen clearly that chart contains the nine stages process of manufacturing clothes . Initiating from the plant bamboo cultivation moving through various stages and finally, the fabric clothes are ready for selling .

Firstly, the seed are sowed in Spring and it preserve water from rain fall furthermore, in Autumn farmers harvest them by using machinery then, in third stage blades are operated to cut thick bamboo into strips .Meanwhile, thin strips are moved into crush machinery where conversion of solid strips to make liquid pulp took place.

Fifth process filter to saperate long fiber from liquis pulp to make accurate solution. In addtion, next stage dissolve water nad amine oxide to produce soft fibres and followed to spin to create yarn the essential materail for creation of fabric resulting, yarn is weave to produce fabric and finally, our fabric clothes are made to wear .

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

You cover the main sequence from planting bamboo through processing the fibres to producing fabric and clothing, and your overview identifies a nine-stage process with a clear beginning and end. Most stages are reported in the correct order, including crushing, filtering, softening, spinning and weaving. However, some details are not supported by the diagram: it shows bamboo plants being planted, not seeds being sown, and gives no information about rainwater, machinery used for harvesting, or clothes being ready for sale. The final clothing stage could also be stated more directly. To strengthen the response, keep descriptions closely tied to the labels and include a concise overview of the process’s agricultural, fibre-processing and textile-making phases.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.5

The response has a recognisable structure: an introduction and overview are followed by a chronological account of the stages. Sequencing expressions such as “Firstly,” “in third stage,” “Fifth process,” and “next stage” help readers follow the process, and the order is generally clear. This coherent overall arrangement is a strength. However, some links are mechanical or awkward, and punctuation sometimes makes the progression harder to follow—for example, “Furthermore, in Autumn farmers harvest them… then, in third stage…” combines several steps without clear sentence boundaries. The final paragraph also packs many stages into one sentence. Use shorter, clearly punctuated sentences and vary transitions while keeping each sentence focused on one or two connected stages.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You use relevant process vocabulary, including “harvest,” “strips,” “liquid pulp,” “fibres,” “yarn,” and “weave,” which allows you to describe the main transformations. There are also attempts at more specific terms such as “cultivation” and “conversion.” However, spelling errors are noticeable (“ilustrates,” “manufucturing,” “saperate,” “addtion”), and several word choices or collocations are inaccurate, such as “accurate solution,” “fabric clothes,” and “essential materail for creation of fabric.” These sometimes make the description less natural or precise. Build a reliable set of process verbs and material terms, and check spelling carefully. Prefer concise, conventional phrasing such as “the fibres are separated” and “the yarn is woven into fabric.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and more extended sentence forms, including a passive construction in “strips are moved into crush machinery” and a sequence linked with “where.” The overall meaning is usually recoverable, but errors in sentence structure and grammatical forms are persistent enough to reduce clarity. For example, “the seed are sowed” has problems with number and verb form, while “it preserve water” has incorrect agreement and an unclear reference. The final sentence beginning “In addition, next stage…” lacks a clear grammatical structure, and several clauses are joined with commas where full stops or conjunctions are needed. Practise accurate passive forms for process descriptions, subject–verb agreement, articles, and sentence boundaries; then check each sentence for a complete subject and verb.
