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 provided diagram illustrates the process of production of fabric from bamboo.

Overall, it is clear that it is a step-by-step process, comprising nine stage with various tools and infrastructure. The process begains with planting bamboo plants and finishesd by producing final products like t-shirt.

The process started by planting bamboo trees in spring, when it matures enough in Autumn then needs to harvest. The bamboo trees has been harvested by manually and send to factories for further step. In this step it cuts into stips by a saw machine. In addtion, the strips has been crushed to make liguid pulp.

In next step, is necessary for filtarationseperate the long fibers from liquid and send for further step, which is added some chemical like amine oxide for soften fibers which is trun into spin (to make yam). Weaving is another stage which is actually making a fabric and trun into the final conjuming product like t-shirt, socks and send to the market for customer uses.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.5

You cover the main stages and give a clear overview that the process begins with planting and ends with finished products. The sequence from harvesting through cutting, crushing, filtering, softening, spinning and weaving is generally represented accurately, and you include useful details such as the seasons and amine oxide. This meets the task well, with some features more fully reported than others: the final clothing stage is mentioned, but the diagram’s t-shirt and socks could both be identified, and the overview could distinguish the agricultural stages from the later manufacturing stages. The claim that products are sent to market is not shown in the diagram, so avoid adding unsupported information. More precise coverage of the final stage and a sharper overview would make the response more complete.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.0

The response has a recognisable structure: an introduction, an overview and two paragraphs describing the stages. The process is mostly presented in the correct order, and linking phrases such as “In addition” and “In next step” help signal progression. However, some connections are awkward or unclear, particularly “In next step, is necessary for filtarationseperate…” and the long final sentence, which combines softening, spinning, weaving and the finished products. Paragraphing is appropriate, but the middle and final stages would be easier to follow if each were expressed in a clear sentence and transitions were used more naturally. Overall, the organisation is coherent, though cohesion is sometimes mechanical and references such as “this step” are not always precise.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You use relevant process vocabulary, including “harvesting,” “strips,” “liquid pulp,” “fibers,” “amine oxide,” “spinning” and “weaving,” which allows the reader to understand the general production sequence. There are also attempts at more specific terms, such as “filtration.” However, spelling and word-choice errors are noticeable: “begains,” “stips,” “liguid,” “yam” and “conjuming” make parts of the account less clear. Some combinations are also unnatural, for example “tools and infrastructure” and “final conjuming product.” Aim for accurate process collocations and check spelling carefully; this would make your vocabulary more dependable and precise while retaining the useful range already attempted.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and more complex sentence forms, including a time clause about planting and harvesting and a relative clause in “which is actually making a fabric.” However, control is uneven, and errors sometimes make relationships between stages difficult to follow. Examples include “nine stage,” “The bamboo trees has been harvested,” and “when it matures enough in Autumn then needs to harvest,” which show problems with plurals, agreement, tense and clause construction. The fragment “In next step, is necessary…” also lacks a clear subject, while several stages are joined into an overloaded final sentence. Use complete sentences with a clear subject and verb, and check agreement and verb forms. More accurate sentence construction would improve clarity.
