Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.0

The response covers the main stages of the manufacturing process, but the description is often unclear and lacks precision. While you identify that there are 8 steps, the explanation of these steps is disjointed. For example, the phrase 'the silos are stored as it is in the form of flour' is confusing and does not accurately describe the process shown in the diagram. Furthermore, the transition between the cooking, drying, and packaging stages is poorly explained, making it difficult for the reader to follow the sequence of events. To improve, ensure you clearly describe each stage using accurate terminology and logical progression.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0

The essay lacks a logical structure. The paragraphing is insufficient, as the entire body of the response is contained within a single, poorly organized paragraph. While you use some cohesive devices like 'To begin with' and 'After that', they are used repetitively and sometimes incorrectly, such as 'Danita, ready for cooking after that'. The flow of information is frequently interrupted by grammatical errors and awkward phrasing, which makes the progression of the process hard to follow. You need to group related stages into distinct paragraphs and use a wider variety of linking words to connect ideas more smoothly.

Lexical Resource — Band 5.0

The vocabulary is quite limited and often inaccurate. You rely on basic terms and struggle to describe the technical process effectively. For instance, 'Discks after converting into noodle disc' is repetitive and lacks clarity. There are also issues with word choice, such as 'tap' instead of 'step' or 'stage'. To reach a higher band, you should aim to use more precise vocabulary related to manufacturing processes, such as 'processed', 'extruded', 'dehydrated', or 'packaged', rather than relying on simple verbs like 'making' or 'get'.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0

There are frequent grammatical errors throughout the response that impede communication. You struggle with sentence structure, often creating fragments or run-on sentences, such as 'It is. Go through vegetables and spices.' Subject-verb agreement and tense consistency are also problematic, for example, 'double sheet dough sheets are making from it' should be 'are made from it'. Punctuation is inconsistent, with misplaced periods and capitalization issues. You need to focus on constructing complete, grammatically correct sentences and proofreading for basic errors in verb forms and sentence boundaries.
