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 dagran illustrates how to manufactured fabic from bambo.Overall there are 9 main stages, beging with plant bamboo plants (spring) grown on the soil and clothes products.

Initally , planting on the bamboo plants on the doin and grown and then futrher harvest the autumn season to cut with hand and transport the factory with the help of vachile. Following this, the harvested bamboo are collected and cut into strips in small portions and then crush strips to make liquid pulp small. One this has been completed the strips are filter and seperate long fibres from liquid and than soften fibers add water and some chemical like amine oxide.

In the next, stage spin to the fibers and to make yarn and to get round shape. After that, yarn is used and to make weave to make fabric like diffrente shape and final product is ready to sell.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You identify the process as having nine stages and describe its broad movement from planting bamboo to producing fabric. Several central steps are included, such as cutting, crushing, filtering, softening, spinning and weaving. However, the account is only partial: it does not clearly report the final clothing stage shown, and it adds unsupported details, including transport by vehicle and preparation “on the soil.” Some descriptions are also unclear, such as saying the pulp is made “small.” The overview is present but does not clearly summarise the main transformation from harvested bamboo into finished clothing. The response is also two words below the required minimum. To strengthen the report, cover the final stage, avoid details not shown, and explain the sequence more precisely.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response has a basic overall sequence, and phrases such as “Following this,” “One this has been completed,” and “After that” help signal movement through the process. The paragraphing also separates the opening from the main description. However, progression is not consistently clear: the first paragraph moves from planting to the finished products without explaining the intervening stages, while the next paragraph repeats some information about harvesting and cutting. Several transitions are awkward or inaccurate, including “In the next, stage,” and the links between actions are sometimes difficult to follow. Group the stages into clear phases—cultivation, fibre processing, and fabric production—and use straightforward transitions to show how each stage leads to the next.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some relevant process vocabulary, including “harvest,” “strips,” “liquid pulp,” “fibres,” “amine oxide,” “yarn,” and “fabric.” This gives the reader a basic sense of the manufacturing stages. However, the range is limited and several word choices or collocations are inaccurate, which sometimes makes the meaning difficult to understand. Examples include “cut with hand,” “crush strips to make liquid pulp small,” and “make weave to make fabric.” There are also frequent spelling errors, such as “dagran,” “fabic,” “bambo,” “futrher,” and “diffrente.” Use precise process verbs and check spelling carefully; for example, describe strips as being crushed “to produce liquid pulp” and fibres as being spun “into yarn.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You attempt to connect several stages in longer sentences, using forms such as “Following this” and “After that,” but sentence structures are limited and frequently faulty. Verb forms and sentence construction are often unclear: “how to manufactured” needs a passive form, while “the harvested bamboo are collected” has an agreement error. Other examples include “planting on the bamboo plants” and “spin to the fibers and to make yarn,” where the relationships between actions are not grammatically expressed. Articles, prepositions and punctuation also need attention, as in “in the next, stage.” These errors sometimes make the process difficult to follow. Practise accurate passive constructions—such as “the bamboo is harvested”—and build shorter, complete sentences before attempting longer ones.
