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 diagram illustrates that how fabric is manufactured from bamboo in detail and deeply explain every step.

By taking a quick galance on the diagram we come to know that the process of manufacturing of fabric initiate from planting the bamboo and terminate at production of useful clothes and items. This whole procedure consists of nine steps.

First we have to plant the bamboo plants in suitable season which is spring. After that we have to harvest it in autumn. Then in third step we cut bamboo into strips with the help of machine. Next we have to crush the strips to make liquid pulp and the fifth step is filtration in which long fibres are separate from the liquid. Then we have to soften the fibres by adding water and amine oxide. In seventh step soften long fibres spin to make yarn and finally at the end yarn weave to make fabric the actual product that we want and by fabric we will make different clothes like T-shirts and socks etc.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

You cover the main sequence accurately, from planting in spring and harvesting in autumn through processing the fibres, spinning yarn and weaving fabric. The overview identifies the nine-step process and its progression from bamboo to clothing, and the final reference to T-shirts and socks reflects the diagram. This is relevant coverage of the task. However, some stages are less fully or precisely reported: the diagram shows the finished clothing as the final step, but your wording makes it sound as though clothes are made after the fabric-weaving stage without clearly identifying this as step nine. You could also make the overview more informative by grouping the stages into cultivation, fibre processing and textile production, while keeping the description factual.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.0

The response follows the process in the correct order, and sequencing expressions such as “First,” “After that,” “Then,” and “finally” help the reader track the stages. The overview is separated from the detailed account, giving the response a basic, coherent structure. However, the body is presented as one long paragraph, and the repeated “we have to” makes the progression sound mechanical rather than like a neutral process description. Some links between stages are also crowded into a single sentence, especially the final sequence from softening to yarn, fabric and clothing. Use a separate paragraph for the overview and another for the stages, and vary transitions or use passive constructions to make the flow smoother.

Lexical Resource: Band 6.0

You use a suitable range of process vocabulary, including “harvest,” “strips,” “liquid pulp,” “fibres,” “spin,” and “weave,” and the technical detail “amine oxide” is accurately included. These choices make the stages understandable. However, several expressions are imprecise or unnatural for an academic process description: “quick galance,” “in detail and deeply explain,” and “the actual product that we want” are conversational or awkward. “Manufacturing of fabric” is also less natural than “fabric production.” Aim for concise, precise wording and avoid personal or evaluative phrasing. Check spelling carefully, particularly “glance,” and choose collocations that describe what the diagram shows rather than how the writer views the process.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.5

You attempt both simple and longer sentences, and the sequence is generally understandable. However, some grammatical errors remain, including the opening construction “illustrates that how,” the agreement error in “the process … initiate,” and the passive-form problem in “long fibres are separate from the liquid.” The final sentence also shifts between forms: “soften long fibres spin” and “yarn weave” need clearer subjects and passive verbs. There are some run-on sentences, particularly where the last several stages are joined with “and.” Practise accurate passive forms for process descriptions—for example, “the fibres are softened” and “the yarn is woven”—and divide long sentences so each stage has a clear grammatical structure.
