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 6.0)

The diagram gives information about a 8 step linear process how instant noodles are manufactured in a factory.

Overall, The process include following steps storing, mechanical system, cooking, adding vegetables and spices and finallay packaging of instant noodles.

Process start with sourcing flour and storing it in big storage silos. During mechanical process the stored flour is mixed with water and oil in a mixer. This mixed dough is rolled out into thin sheets with the help of rollers. These sheets are placed on conveyor belt and are passed throgh a machine which cut them into strips for further processing.

At this stage, dough strips are shaped into noddle discs. These noodle discs are then passed to hot cooking oil and are cooked. After the cooking process these discs are dried to send for packaging. At this stage noodles are placed in cups with vegatables and spices. Finally, these cups are labled and sealed in the end adn are ready to deliver to the customers.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.5

You cover the main stages from flour storage through mixing, shaping, cooking, adding ingredients and packaging, and your overview identifies the broad sequence. The account is generally accurate, including the addition of water and oil and the cooking and drying of the noodle discs. However, the overview calls this an “8 step” process without clearly distinguishing the stages, and some details are less fully reported: for example, the diagram shows the dough passing through rollers to form sheets, then strips and discs, while the description of the later stages could make the sequence of cup-filling and sealing clearer. To strengthen the response, give a more precise overview of the linear process and report each transformation in the order shown.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.5

The response has a clear overall progression, moving from flour storage to the finished cups, and the paragraph breaks help separate the overview from the process details. Sequencing phrases such as “During mechanical process,” “At this stage,” and “Finally” guide the reader through the stages. However, “At this stage” is repeated, and the second paragraph groups several transformations together, making the progression slightly less easy to follow. Some references, such as “these discs” and “At this stage noodles,” could be more explicit about which stage is being described. For a stronger, more flexible flow, use varied sequencing language and give each major phase a clear transition.

Lexical Resource: Band 6.0

You use a suitable range of process vocabulary, including “storage silos,” “mixer,” “conveyor belt,” “strips,” “cooking oil,” and “sealed.” These terms make the manufacturing sequence understandable, and “linear process” is an appropriate description. However, some word choices and collocations are imprecise, such as “mechanical system” for the shaping stages and “ready to deliver to the customers” for the finished product. Spelling errors—including “throgh,” “noddle,” “vegatables,” and “labled”—also reduce accuracy. Aim for more precise process verbs and check spelling carefully; this would make the vocabulary more controlled while retaining the clear, task-appropriate range already present.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.5

You attempt a mix of simple and complex structures, including “These sheets are placed on conveyor belt and are passed…” and “After the cooking process these discs are dried…”. The sequence remains understandable, but some grammatical errors recur. For example, “a 8 step linear process” has an article error, “The process include” has subject–verb disagreement, and “a machine which cut them” uses an incorrect verb form. There are also missing or inconsistent articles and punctuation, as in “on conveyor belt” and the capitalised “The” after “Overall,”. To improve control, check agreement and articles, and use consistent present-tense forms when describing the stages.
