The process chart gives a information about how fabric is manufactured from bamboo.
By giving a genral overview it is a crystal clear that, the whole process are steps in nine and, all steps are very important. If any one steps are missed the process to whole process are the disturbed.
By hgaving a cursory glance it is vivid that, firstly bamboo plant polluted in spring and it is harvested the autumn cut into the strips. And crushed strips are to made the liqiud pulp and its the filtred are seprate long fiber from liqiud.
Moving further ahead it is lucid that, amine oxide are added with water into softning. Moreover the process of spining is done. Further it is wover in to fabric, lastly cloths are made it.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0
You identify the process as having nine stages and cover its broad movement from planting bamboo to making fabric and clothing. However, the account is only partial and some key details are unclear or inaccurate: bamboo is planted in spring, not “polluted,” and the overview that every step is important does not summarise the main stages or their transformation. The description also gives little detail about filtering, softening, spinning and weaving, and the response is below the required 150 words. To strengthen the report, provide a concise overview of the sequence and explain each stage accurately, including that water and amine oxide are added to soften the fibres before they are spun into yarn.
Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5
The response has an opening, a general overview and two paragraphs that attempt to follow the process, so there is some organisation. The stages are mostly presented in sequence, and phrases such as “Moving further ahead” signal a transition. However, progression is weakened by awkward or repetitive linking expressions, including “By giving a general overview,” “By having a cursory glance” and “Moreover.” Several stages are crowded into long sentences, making the relationships between actions difficult to follow. Use clearer paragraphing to group planting and preparation, fibre processing, and the final production stages. Then connect steps with straightforward sequencing language such as “Next,” “After filtering,” and “Finally,” while ensuring each sentence expresses a clear stage.
Lexical Resource: Band 5.0
You attempt a range of descriptive vocabulary, including “cursory glance,” “lucid” and “manufactured,” and use some relevant process terms such as “liquid pulp,” “fibre” and “amine oxide.” However, several choices are inaccurate or unnatural and sometimes obscure the meaning: “bamboo plant polluted” does not describe planting, while “the process of spining is done” and “it is wover in to fabric” are not natural collocations. Spelling errors such as “genral,” “liqiud,” “filtred” and “seprate” are also noticeable. Prioritise accurate, task-specific verbs over decorative synonyms, and check spelling and word forms. For example, describe bamboo as “planted,” fibres as “filtered,” and yarn as “woven into fabric.”
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0
The response attempts both simple and more extended sentence forms, but control is inconsistent, and errors frequently make the process difficult to understand. Examples include “the whole process are steps in nine,” where the subject and verb do not agree and the phrasing is incomplete, and “If any one steps are missed the process to whole process are the disturbed,” which has problems with number, verb form and sentence construction. The final sentence, “lastly cloths are made it,” also has an unclear structure. Use a reliable pattern for each stage: a subject, a passive verb and any necessary detail—for example, “The bamboo is harvested in autumn and cut into strips.” Practise accurate passive forms and articles before attempting longer sentences.
