Student answer (Band 6.0)

The diagram illustrates manufactoring process of instant noodles.

overall, the process contains 8 main stages starting off with storing the flour in specific storage silos and ending with labeling and sealing the final product.

firstly , the flour is stored in storage silos .after that the flour is mixed with water and oil in mixer to produce a well homogenous mixture . the mixture then is rolled to produce dough sheets , these are important for the next stages .in the subsequent stage the dough is stripped into dough strips using a specific precise machine allowing the strips to be thin and equal . following this the strips are formed into noodle discs.

In the next stage , noodle discs are cooked in oil and dried. Next it is placed in cups which contains vegetables and spices .Finally the final product is labeled and sealed and ready to be transported to supermarkets

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

You give a relevant account of the process, with an overview that identifies its beginning and final stages, and you describe the main sequence from flour storage through mixing, shaping, cooking and packaging. Most details match the diagram. However, some features are less fully reported: the rollers are not clearly identified as the equipment that forms the dough sheets, and the addition of vegetables and spices is described as cups already containing them rather than as ingredients added during the process. The final sentence also adds transportation to supermarkets, which is not shown. To strengthen the response, report each stage precisely and avoid adding outcomes beyond the diagram.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.0

The stages are presented in a generally logical order, and sequencing expressions such as “firstly,” “after that,” “in the subsequent stage” and “finally” help the reader follow the process. The response also moves from an overview to the detailed sequence. However, the linking is somewhat mechanical because most stages are introduced with a time marker, and the long middle section would be easier to follow if divided into clearer paragraphs. Some references are not fully clear, particularly “Next it is placed in cups,” where the subject could be the noodles or the discs. Use paragraphing to separate the overview from the process details, and vary links while making each stage’s subject explicit.

Lexical Resource: Band 6.0

You use an adequate range of process vocabulary, including “storage silos,” “dough sheets,” “dough strips,” “noodle discs,” and “labeled and sealed.” These terms make the manufacturing sequence understandable, and you attempt more specific wording such as “homogenous mixture.” Some choices are inaccurate or unnatural, however: “manufactoring” is misspelled, “stripped into dough strips” is not the appropriate verb, and “specific precise machine” is vague and repetitive. “Ready to be transported to supermarkets” also introduces an unsupported detail. Aim for precise process verbs and natural collocations, such as “cut into strips” and “passed through rollers,” and check spelling and word forms.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.5

You attempt both simple and more complex sentences, including a relative clause in “a well homogenous mixture” and a participle construction in “allowing the strips to be thin and equal.” The sequence remains understandable, but some grammatical errors recur. For example, “the flour is mixed … in mixer” is missing an article, and “Next it is placed” has an unclear pronoun and does not agree clearly with the plural “noodle discs.” Several sentence boundaries and commas are also mishandled, as in “dough sheets , these are important,” while capitalization after full stops is inconsistent. Practise accurate articles, pronoun reference, and punctuation, while keeping complex sentences controlled.
