Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.5

You identify the general subject and mention several stages, including flour storage, mixing, dough sheets and strips, cooking and drying, adding vegetables and spices, and final labelling and sealing. However, the process is reported only minimally and some details are inaccurate or unclear. For example, the rollers shape the dough rather than simply “mix the flour,” and the cups are introduced after cooking and drying, not at the cooking stage. There is no clear overview of the process as a whole, and the response does not explain the sequence precisely enough to give a complete account. Focus on the main stages in order and describe what happens at each one, avoiding unsupported comments about taste or convenience.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response follows a broadly chronological order and uses sequence markers such as “the first step,” “then,” “after that,” and “the last step.” This gives the reader some sense of progression through the manufacturing process. However, the information is presented as one long, loosely connected passage, with no clear overview or paragraphing to distinguish the main stages. Several links are repetitive or awkward, and the chain of clauses beginning “then this fix with oil” and “then it machine has a roller” makes the sequence difficult to follow. Group the stages into a clear introduction/overview and a logically ordered description, and use concise linking phrases rather than repeatedly numbering each step.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some relevant process vocabulary, including “storage silos,” “dough sheets,” “dough strip,” “noodles disc,” “vegetables plus spices,” and “labelling” and “sealing.” This shows a basic range connected to the diagram. However, vocabulary is often repetitive or imprecise, and several spelling and word-choice errors make parts difficult to understand, such as “storange,” “mixuture,” “essiential,” “conviences,” and “teast.” Phrases such as “the noodles disc which are the essential to carrying the noodles easily” do not clearly describe the diagram. Use accurate process verbs and collocations—for example, say that dough is rolled into sheets, cut into strips, and formed into discs—and check spelling carefully.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt to connect several stages in longer sentences, and the reader can generally recognise the intended sequence. However, sentence structures are limited and often faulty, which sometimes obscures the relationships between actions. For example, “the first step of making noodle start with the flour” has problems with subject–verb agreement and sentence construction, while “the vegetables and spices are make very good…” combines verb forms incorrectly. Articles, plurals, and tense are also inconsistent, as in “the noodles disc” and “which are add.” Use the present simple passive consistently for a process, such as “The flour is mixed with water and oil,” and separate stages into complete sentences with accurate subject–verb agreement and punctuation.
