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 diagram illustrates the production of fabric from the bamboo. Fabric come in hand after pasing 9 different steps from planting bamboo in the land to cloths.

First of all, the seeb of the bamboo is sow in clay in the spring season. In autumn, it is harvest from the land to make some clothing. After this, it is cut into the strips, these are crush to make liquid pulp. Following that, this crushed strips is pass through the filter althoug we seprate long fibres from liquid.

Next, this long fibres is turned into the soften fibres by adding some water and amine oxide. Then yarn is make by spining it and after this we do weave of the soften fibres to make fabric. When fabric is ready for use then it is use to make shirts, socks and etc.

In conclution, itthis processontain nine step.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You identify the process as having nine stages and cover the broad movement from planting bamboo to finished clothing, including the seasonal details and several processing steps. However, the account is only partially complete and some stages are inaccurately described: the diagram shows bamboo plants being planted, not seeds sown in clay, and the yarn is woven into fabric rather than the softened fibres being woven directly. The overview is also limited to the number of steps, without clearly summarising the main phases of cultivation, fibre processing and fabric production. The response is 146 words, below the required 150. Add a concise overview and describe the stages precisely, especially the final sequence.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response follows the process in broadly chronological order and uses paragraph breaks to separate the opening, stages and conclusion. Connectors such as “First of all,” “Following that” and “Next” help the reader track the sequence. However, the progression is not always clear because several stages are compressed into long sentences, and references such as “these” and “this long fibres” are difficult to follow. The conclusion repeats that there are nine steps rather than bringing the process together. Use clearer sentence boundaries and refer explicitly to each material as it changes—for example, “the strips,” “the pulp,” “the fibres,” and “the yarn”—to make the sequence easier to follow.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some relevant process vocabulary, including “liquid pulp,” “filter,” “fibres,” “amine oxide,” “yarn” and “weave,” which helps convey the diagram’s subject. However, the range is limited and several word-choice, collocation and spelling problems make parts of the account difficult to understand. Examples include “Fabric come in hand,” “cloths,” “we do weave,” and “and etc.” There are also frequent spelling errors such as “pasing,” “seeb,” “seprate” and “conclution.” Choose standard process descriptions and check spelling carefully; for instance, say that fabric “is produced” and that the yarn “is woven into fabric.” Avoid informal or non-standard expressions.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt to connect stages using subordinate clauses and sequencing phrases, but the sentence structures are limited and errors occur frequently. Subject–verb agreement and verb forms are problematic in examples such as “Fabric come,” “it is harvest,” “these are crush,” and “yarn is make.” Articles and plurals are also inconsistent, as in “the bamboo,” “this crushed strips,” and “this long fibres.” Some sentences run several process steps together, making the relationships between actions unclear. Practise describing each stage with a consistent passive structure, such as “The strips are crushed to produce pulp,” and check agreement, tense and singular/plural forms. Clearer sentence boundaries would also improve accuracy.
