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 7.0)

The provided figure illustrates the procedure of production of instant noodles.

Overall, it can be seen at a glance that there are 6-7 stages in this process, beginning from collection of flour and culminating in labelling the product. Moreover, cooking and drying appear to be most significant stage in this process.

As the first step, the flour is collected and transported by the vehicle and stored in the storage silos. This flour is then mixed with water and oil in a mixer to form a smooth dough, which is then converted into dough sheets. Rollers assist in this process. Following this, dough sheets are converted into dough strips, which afterward transformed into noodle discs.

In the subsequent stage, noodles discs are cooked in oil and dried. Vegetables and spices are added after cooked noodles are packed in cups. Finally, these cups are labelled and sealed before delivery to the market.

AI examiner evaluation

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 7.0

The response successfully covers all parts of the task by summarizing the main stages of the instant noodles manufacturing process, from flour storage to final labeling and sealing. The overview highlights the total number of stages and identifies a key process correctly. The student reports the sequence accurately in line with the diagram, covering the mixing, rolling, cutting into sheets and strips, forming disks, cooking and drying, and adding vegetables and spices before packaging. The information is relevant and accurate, satisfying the requirements for a Band 7 performance under Task Achievement.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 7.0

The text is logically organized with a clear overall progression from the beginning to the end of the manufacturing process. Paragraphing is used appropriately to separate the introduction and overview from the body stages. Cohesive devices such as 'Moreover', 'As the first step', 'Following this', and 'Finally' are employed to guide the reader through the sequence of steps, although referencing and linking could be slightly more varied. Progression is clear throughout, aligning with the criteria for Band 7.

Lexical Resource — Band 6.5

The vocabulary is generally adequate and appropriate for describing a manufacturing process, using terms such as 'procedure', 'storage silos', 'smooth dough', 'rollers', and 'labeling and sealing'. However, there are some minor lexical inaccuracies and awkward phrasing, such as 'most significant stage' (should be plural or adjusted) and 'afterward transformed into' (missing auxiliary or verb form). Despite these occasional slips, the range of vocabulary is sufficient to convey the meaning clearly, supporting a Band 6.5 or solid 6 score.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 6.5

The writer uses a mix of simple and complex sentence forms, demonstrating control over passive structures which are essential for process descriptions (e.g., 'the flour is collected and transported', 'noodles discs are cooked in oil'). There are a few grammatical errors, such as 'the procedure of production' (awkward preposition) and missing plural agreement or article omissions like 'after cooked noodles are packed' (should be 'after the cooked noodles'). Nevertheless, these errors are non-systematic and do not impede communication, placing the response securely in Band 6.5.
