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 diagram provides the information of the process of fabric made from bamboo.

Overall, its a long procedure containing nine steps to make the final product from the raw bamboo.The steps involved; plantation, harvesting, cutting, adding chemical , filteration , making pulp and the last two were spinning and weaving.

There are three phases of turning raw bamboo into fabric, each phase has further three steps.

In the first phase,bamboos are planted in the spring season and harvested in the autumn.After these two steps, bamboo are cutted in strips.In the second phase, it begins with crushing the strips to make liquid pulp then filter it to seprate the long fibers from liquid. At last chemical process begins by adding water with aminde oxide to soften the fibres.

In the final stage, softened fibre is spinned to make yam which than weaved to make fabric which is lastly used to manufacture different types of clothes.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

You identify the process as a sequence of nine steps and include the seasonal planting and harvesting, the conversion of strips into pulp, fibre treatment, and the final production of fabric and clothing. This gives a relevant account of the main stages. However, the overview is not fully accurate: it says the last two steps are spinning and weaving, although the diagram also shows finished clothing as step nine. The claim that there are three phases of three steps is a useful way to group the process, but the stages are not clearly distinguished, and “adding chemical” is imprecise because the diagram specifies water and amine oxide. To strengthen the response, make the overview more precise and ensure every stage is represented clearly.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.0

The response has a clear overall structure: an introduction, an overview, and a chronological description grouped into three phases. The sequence is generally easy to follow, with transitions such as “After these two steps,” “In the second phase,” and “In the final stage.” However, some linking is mechanical, and the overview’s list of stages does not match the later account particularly well. The semicolon in “The steps involved;” also interrupts the flow, while the long final sentence combines spinning, weaving, and clothing production without clearly separating the stages. Use more consistent paragraphing and connect each stage directly to the next, while keeping the overview aligned with the process description.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You use relevant process vocabulary, including “harvested,” “crushing,” “liquid pulp,” “separate,” and “soften the fibres,” which helps communicate the manufacturing sequence. There is also some variety in how the stages are described. However, several spelling and word-choice errors reduce precision: “filteration,” “seprate,” “aminde oxide,” “spinned,” and “yam” are inaccurate, and “adding chemical” is too general for the specific materials shown. Some expressions are also unnatural, such as “the information of the process” and “different types of clothes.” Check technical terms carefully and choose more precise process language, for example “the process of making bamboo fabric” and “garments.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.5

The response includes both simple sentences and more complex structures, such as “In the second phase, it begins with crushing the strips … then filter it,” and the overall meaning remains understandable. However, some grammatical errors recur. Examples include “its a long procedure” (missing apostrophe), “bamboo are cutted” (agreement and verb form), and “which than weaved” (incorrect connector and passive construction). The sentence beginning “The steps involved;” is also not a complete, correctly punctuated construction. Improve control of articles, agreement, past participles, and passive forms. For example, write “the bamboo is cut into strips” and “the yarn is then woven into fabric.”
