Student answer (Band 5.0)

The diagram illustrates that how instant noodles are making and how we can see them to making.

Overall, there are many several steps which helps us to making instant noodles cooking, storage and drying main and noticeble steps and point.

Here, we will discuss related it that how noodles manufacturing.Firstly we storage silos and flour and then we tranform to rollers where water and oil mixer this point is very noticeble. And then them transform to in dough sheets and next we thier tranform in dough strips and then from the strips we tranform them in noodles discs with carefully.

And then them cooking and drying with oil and here condition are very critical because this step is very hardwork and then them converted into cups plus added vegetables spices and then them to tranform in labelling sealing and then their covered with labels and then it will be ready in cups.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.5

You identify the subject as instant-noodle manufacture and report several central stages, including mixing, forming dough sheets and strips, cooking and drying, adding vegetables and spices, and sealing the cups. This gives the reader a broadly relevant account of the process. However, the overview is unclear: “many several steps” does not summarise the process accurately, and storage is described as a main step without explaining the overall progression from flour to finished cups. Some details are misreported or difficult to follow, such as saying the flour is transformed “to rollers” and that noodles are “converted into cups.” To strengthen the response, give a clear overview of the linear process and describe the stages in their correct relationships.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response follows the general order of production, moving from storage and mixing through shaping, cooking, adding ingredients, and sealing. This basic sequence helps the reader recognise the process. However, the organisation is weakened by an unclear opening and overview, followed by a long body paragraph that strings stages together. Repeated connectors such as “and then” and repeated references to “transform” make the progression mechanical, while phrases such as “Here, we will discuss related it” do not clearly introduce the next point. Use separate paragraphs for the overview and process details, and connect stages with precise sequencing language such as “Next,” “After shaping,” and “Finally.”

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You use some task-relevant vocabulary, including “dough sheets,” “dough strips,” “noodles discs,” “cooking and drying,” and “labelling and sealing.” These terms show awareness of the process, but the range is limited and several choices are inaccurate or repetitive. “Transform” is used repeatedly where more precise process verbs are needed, and phrases such as “very noticeable steps and point” and “this step is very hardwork” are unnatural or do not convey useful information. Spelling and word-form problems, including “tranform” and “noticeble,” also reduce clarity. Build a bank of accurate process verbs and collocations, such as “is mixed,” “is rolled,” “is cut,” and “is packaged.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

The response attempts to describe a sequence using connected clauses, but sentence structures are limited and errors occur frequently enough to make some relationships difficult to understand. For example, “The diagram illustrates that how instant noodles are making” has an incorrect clause pattern and verb form, while “which helps us to making” has faulty agreement and an incorrect infinitive construction. The long sentence beginning “Firstly we storage silos” also lacks clear grammatical links between stages. Practise forming accurate passive sentences, which are especially useful for process diagrams: “Flour is stored in silos,” followed by “It is mixed with water and oil.” Check articles, verb forms, and sentence boundaries when editing.
