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 5.0)
The diagram demonstrates the process of manufacturing of instant noodles which are total in 8 stages.
In the first stage, as we can see flour is already stored in the silos. Then flour is poured in to the truck from storage silos and transported to the further process. In the next stage, flour is instilled in the mixer with water and oil in the below section of machine. Then the rollers are made by machine and bring them to Dough sheets. After that, Roller passes through Drouh stripes and transformed into Noodles discs.
In the next stage, those discs cross through cooking (oil) and drying process and come into a saperate cups. After that, Vagetables and spices are added into cups. In the last stage, They pass through for labelling and sealing purpose.
To sum up, it would be quite intersting to note that manufacturing of instant noodles consist of total 8 stages from stogrageflouring to Labelling and sealing

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0
The response covers the main stages of the diagram, attempting to trace the process from storage silos through to labelling and sealing. However, there are significant misinterpretations of the visual data. For example, the student writes that 'flour is poured in to the truck from storage silos,' whereas the diagram shows flour arriving via a delivery truck into the silos. Additionally, some descriptions of the mechanical steps are confused, such as stating that 'rollers are made by machine.' While an overview is attempted at the beginning and end, the inaccurate reading of the process details limits the overall development and precision of the task response.
Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0
The response is organized into four paragraphs, including an introduction and a concluding summary. Basic cohesive devices are used to signal sequence, such as 'In the first stage,' 'Then,' and 'After that.' However, the logical progression between sentences is occasionally hindered by confusing descriptions and mechanical transitions. Paragraphing is present, but the overall flow feels slightly disjointed due to awkward phrasing and referencing issues, such as pronoun ambiguity ('They pass through...').
Lexical Resource: Band 5.0
The vocabulary used is adequate to convey the general topic of manufacturing instant noodles, incorporating process-specific terms like 'silos,' 'mixer,' 'dough sheets,' 'discs,' and 'sealing.' However, there are numerous spelling and word-choice errors, such as 'drouh stripes' instead of dough strips, 'saperate' instead of separate, 'vagetables' instead of vegetables, and 'stogrageflouring' instead of storage/flour. These lexical inaccuracies and typos restrict the score to the band 5 range.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0
The student attempts a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but control over grammar is weak. There are frequent grammatical errors, including preposition misuse ('poured in to'), subject-verb agreement issues ('manufacturing... consist'), and awkward passive voice constructions ('flour is instilled in the mixer'). Punctuation is also inconsistent, with missing periods at the end of some sentences and run-on structures. These errors cause some difficulty for the reader and reflect limited grammatical accuracy.
