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)

The given chart helps the audience to understand the art of manufacturing clothes. it highlights the importance of nature , how plants use for making clothes.

first of all, people collect plants bamboo they sowed seeds and then harvest plants. these plants helps people's to manufacture clothes. mostly people harvest plants in the Autum season.the process of harvesting plants into small strips .

people make soft fibrics they use water and ameni oxide for this process. After ,the process of making fibrics, people use filtration processes

for the separation of long fibrics from liquid. Then, the expert of manufacturing clothes uses crush stips and then made a new spin like thread. These stips helps to make a fibric. Moreover, this given fibrics helps to manufacturing the clothes.

At the end, most of people wears coltges but no one know how it manufactured. so nature always helps people's to understand the importance of natural objects as well as the capability of experts.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You identify the broad subject—turning bamboo into fabric—and include several relevant stages, such as harvesting, cutting, filtering, softening and spinning. However, the account only partially reports the process: it omits the planting season, the crushing stage as a distinct step, weaving, and the final clothing products. Some details are inaccurate or unclear: the diagram says bamboo plants are planted in spring, not that people sow seeds, and the sequence is crushing strips into pulp, filtering, then softening the fibres. The opening and ending comments about nature’s importance and people not knowing how clothes are made do not describe the diagram. Focus on an accurate overview of the full sequence and its start and end points, rather than adding general opinions.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

There is some organisation: the response begins with an introduction, moves through several stages using markers such as “first of all,” “After,” “Then” and “At the end,” and ends with a concluding comment. This gives the reader a basic sense of sequence. However, progression is not consistently clear because stages are omitted or presented in the wrong order: softening is mentioned before filtration, while crushing appears later. Several sentences also combine unrelated points, and the final comments about nature interrupt the process description. Use separate paragraphs for an overview and the stages, then group the steps in their actual order. Clear references such as “the resulting pulp” and “these fibres” would also make connections between stages easier to follow.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some vocabulary relevant to the process, including “harvest,” “strips,” “filtration,” “separation” and “liquid,” so the topic is recognisable. However, the range is limited and several word choices or spellings make the description difficult to interpret, including “fibrics,” “ameni oxide,” “stips” and “coltges.” Some expressions are also imprecise for a process diagram: “art of manufacturing clothes” and “new spin like thread” do not clearly name the stages. Choose accurate process terms and check spelling carefully. Repeating “people” and “helps” can be reduced by using passive forms or stage-focused nouns, such as “the fibres are softened” and “the yarn is woven into fabric.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

The response attempts a few longer sentences and uses sequencing clauses, but sentence structures are mostly simple and control is inconsistent. Errors in agreement and verb forms occur in examples such as “these plants helps” and “how it manufactured”; the latter needs an auxiliary verb. Articles, plurals and sentence boundaries are also unreliable, as in “the process of making fibrics, people use filtration processes” and the lower-case “first of all” after a full stop. These errors sometimes make relationships between actions unclear. Practise accurate simple passive constructions for process descriptions, for example, “The strips are crushed” and “The fibres are softened,” and check each sentence for a clear subject, verb and punctuation.
