IELTS Writing Task 1 question

The diagram below shows how instant noodles are manufactured.

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

Student answer (Band 6.0)

Given is a diagram illustrating the process of manufacturing instant noodles.

Overall, the process has eight steps which strats with store flour in the silos and ends with labelling and sealing.

Firstly, the flour transport from the vehical to the storage silos. Then it goes through a mixer. Within the mixture flour mixe with water and oil to make a dough. After that doughs go through the rollers to make dough sheets. Then it go throuth another machine and become dough strips. Consequantly, noodleas discs make with that dough strips. Before pack the noodles discs need to be dry.

After the noodle discs manufactured, then it become dry after go through a machine and cook with oil. Moreover, they store in the cups and add vegetables and spicess. Finally, the labelling and sealing are done by machines. After this eight steps process people can use instant noodles in a well stored cup.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

You identify the process as having eight stages and give a relevant start and finish, which provides a basic overview. The response also reports several key transformations, including mixing flour with water and oil, forming sheets and strips, and cooking the noodle discs. However, some stages are unclear or inaccurately described: the flour is transported from a vehicle, but the diagram shows it being delivered by truck into silos; the discs are cooked in oil and dried, rather than simply dried before packing; and vegetables and spices are added to the cups, not noodles stored in cups before this addition. The overview could also capture the full sequence more precisely, including the final labelling and sealing stage and the finished cups emerging on a conveyor. Develop these details to make coverage more complete.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.5

The response has a clear overall arrangement: an introduction and overview are followed by a chronological account of the process. Sequencing expressions such as “Firstly,” “Then,” “After that,” and “Finally” help the reader follow the stages, and the paragraph break separates the overview from the details. This logical progression is a strength. However, some links are mechanical or repetitive, and the transition between the two body paragraphs is awkward: “After the noodle discs manufactured, then it become dry” repeats information from the preceding sentence rather than advancing the account. References such as “it” and “they” are not always clear. To improve, use more varied linking and make each sentence add a distinct stage, with explicit nouns where pronouns could be ambiguous.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You use relevant process vocabulary, including “silos,” “mixer,” “rollers,” “dough sheets,” “dough strips,” and “labelling and sealing,” so the reader can recognise many stages. However, the range is limited and several word-choice, collocation, word-form, and spelling errors reduce precision. Examples include “flour transport,” “doughs,” “noodleas discs,” “spicess,” and “well stored cup.” Some expressions are also imprecise: “store in the cups” does not clearly describe adding the cooked noodles to cups, while “make with that dough strips” is not a natural way to describe their formation. Aim for accurate process verbs and standard spelling, and use terms such as “is transferred,” “is shaped,” and “is placed into cups” where appropriate.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple sentences and longer clauses, for example, “Within the mixture flour mixe with water and oil to make a dough,” but control is inconsistent. Errors in verb forms and sentence construction include “the process … strats,” “Then it go,” “doughs go through,” and “After the noodle discs manufactured.” The passive voice is particularly useful for describing a process, yet it is often missing or incorrectly formed; for instance, “the labelling and sealing are done by machines” is clearer than several earlier descriptions, but the stages need consistent forms such as “the flour is mixed” and “the discs are cooked.” Pronoun agreement and sentence boundaries also need attention. Practise accurate present-simple passive clauses and check each sentence for a subject and a correctly formed verb.
