Student answer (Band 6.0)

Below the diagram we can elaborate how instant noodles are manufactured undergoing different phrases.

According to the diagram, at first flour is allocate in storage silos through trucks. Then after, it goes to the mixture containing the paste of water and oil. With that mixture of flour, water and oil, it proceeds to dough sheets to take flat shape. Then, it goes through dough strips that cuts the sheets into small lines. For the next step, the strips move to the noodles disc for the structure. Furthermore, the disc noodles are cooked in oil and leave them for drying. After that, the dry noodles are placed in cups which have vegetables and spices. For the final stage, it goes to labelling and sealing for identification of label of products. In last we could observe the labels noodle.

AI examiner evaluation

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 6.0

The response covers the main stages of the noodle manufacturing process, from the delivery of flour to the final packaging. However, the description is somewhat mechanical and lacks a clear overview or summary of the process as a whole. While the key steps are identified, the response would benefit from a more analytical approach, such as grouping the stages into logical phases (e.g., preparation, processing, and packaging). The final sentence is vague and does not effectively synthesize the information presented in the diagram. To improve, ensure that the main features are highlighted in an introductory overview rather than just listing steps sequentially.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 6.5

The response is organized chronologically, which helps the reader follow the process. However, the use of cohesive devices is somewhat repetitive and mechanical, relying heavily on simple transition words like 'Then', 'After that', and 'Furthermore'. Paragraphing is also insufficient; the entire response is presented as a single block of text, which makes it harder to digest. To reach a higher band, you should aim to vary your linking phrases and use paragraph breaks to separate the introduction/overview from the body of the process description.

Lexical Resource — Band 6.0

The vocabulary is generally adequate for the task, but it is quite limited and contains several inaccuracies. For example, 'flour is allocate' should be 'allocated' or 'delivered', and 'varies of indigents' is incorrect; it should be 'variety of ingredients'. There is also a lack of precise technical vocabulary related to manufacturing processes. To improve, focus on using more accurate collocations and expanding your range of vocabulary to describe industrial processes, such as 'conveyed', 'transformed', 'automated', or 'subsequently'.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 6.0

The response contains a mix of simple and some attempted complex structures, but there are frequent grammatical errors that occasionally impede the flow. Issues include subject-verb agreement ('flour is allocate'), incorrect word forms ('labels noodle'), and awkward phrasing ('leave them for drying'). While the meaning is generally clear, the high frequency of these errors prevents the response from reaching a higher band. Focus on proofreading for basic verb tenses and ensuring that nouns and adjectives are used correctly in context.
