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 graph below illustrates the pocess of baboo conversion into fabrics.

Overall the graph shows the conversion of bamboo into fabric in total 9 steps. The procedure starts with the plantation of the bamboo plants in spring and harvest in autumn. The harvested plants have to go through 7 more steps to form a fabric.

The bamboo plants are planted in spring which are ready to harvest in autumn. The harvested plants are choped into strips with the help of a round blade. In the next step the bamboo strips are crushed into liquid pulp, which are then passed through a filter to sperate long fibers from the liquid. Furthermore water and amine oxide are added into the long fibres to make it soft.

The soft fabric are spun with the help of the machinery to make yarn. The yarn is later weaven to make a fabric. The fabric is later on used for making other goods.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

You cover the main sequence from planting and autumn harvesting through processing to fabric and finished goods, and your overview identifies the nine-step process. The details about cutting, crushing, filtering, adding water and amine oxide, spinning, and weaving are generally grounded in the diagram. However, some stages are less fully or precisely reported: the diagram shows fibres being softened, not “soft fabric” being spun, and the final step specifically depicts clothing such as a T-shirt and socks rather than simply “other goods.” The overview could also make the process’s progression from raw bamboo to finished clothing clearer. More precise descriptions of the material at each stage would make the summary more complete and accurate.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.0

The response has a clear overall arrangement: an introduction, an overview, and two paragraphs that follow the process from cultivation to the final products. The sequence is mostly easy to follow, and linking phrases such as “In the next step,” “Furthermore,” and “later” help connect stages. However, the final paragraph’s reference to “soft fabric” interrupts the process logic, since the material is softened fibre before it is spun into yarn. Some links are also mechanical or repetitive, particularly the repeated use of “later.” Use clearer stage-to-stage references and vary transitions, while keeping the process order explicit. This would make the progression smoother and references between materials and stages more consistently clear.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You use relevant process vocabulary, including “harvested,” “strips,” “liquid pulp,” “filter,” “fibres,” “yarn,” and “weaven,” which helps communicate the stages. There are also attempts at more specific terms such as “amine oxide” and “round blade.” However, several word-choice, collocation, and spelling problems reduce precision: “graph” is not appropriate for a process diagram, “baboo” and “pocess” are misspelled, and “soft fabric” misnames the softened fibres. “The plantation of the bamboo plants” is also less natural than a direct description of planting. Aim for accurate process terms and check spelling and word forms; this will make the vocabulary more reliable and precise without requiring unnecessarily complex wording.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.5

You use a mix of simple sentences and longer clauses, for example, “The harvested plants are chopped into strips …” followed by a relative clause describing the filtering stage. Most relationships between stages remain understandable. Some grammatical errors, however, affect accuracy: “which are ready to harvest” has an unclear subject and construction; “which are then passed” does not agree with the singular “liquid pulp”; and “The soft fabric are spun” has subject–verb disagreement. The passive voice is useful for describing a process, but it needs consistent control, including agreement and clear reference to the material being acted on. Review relative clauses and singular/plural agreement, and proofread each sentence for a clear subject and verb.
