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 illustrates the manufacturing process of instant noodls.

Overall,it is clear that the manufacturing process consists of eight distinct stages and a number of different tools and instruments,from storing silos from flour to the lebeling and sealing for the final product.

At the first stage of the process, silos are collecting from flour vehicle and keep it stored and set to go to mixer,where it mixes with water and oil and make dough. At thired stage, doughs are being pressed by couple of rollers and make thin dough sheets,which are then processed by cutter and coming out as dough stripes.

In the following stage,dough stripes are set in the noodls discs and being ready for cooking and drying process.After completing cooking with oil and drying process ,noodles are being served in cups ,where vegetables and spices are being added.At last stages, the cups are being ready for the last step,which is lebelling and sealing andthe final product is being ready for delivery.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.5

The response covers the main stages in the correct general order, from flour storage and mixing through shaping, cooking, adding ingredients, and sealing. The overview identifies the process as having eight stages and captures its start and finish, while details such as water and oil being added and vegetables and spices entering the cups are relevant. Some descriptions are less precise or developed: “silos are collecting from flour vehicle” does not clearly explain that flour is delivered by truck to the silos, and the account of the dough strips becoming noodle discs is unclear. The overview also refers to tools and instruments rather than summarising the key transformation from flour to packaged cups. A more precise overview and clearer reporting of each transition would strengthen coverage.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.5

The response has a coherent overall arrangement: it begins with an overview and then follows the manufacturing sequence in two chronological paragraphs. Sequencing phrases such as “At the first stage,” “At thired stage,” “In the following stage,” and “At last stages” help the reader follow the process. However, the linking is somewhat mechanical, and several long sentences join multiple steps without clear punctuation, for example the sentence beginning “At the first stage” and continuing through the mixer. Some references, such as “the last step,” are understandable but could be more direct. Use paragraph breaks to group the early preparation, shaping and cooking, and final packaging stages, and vary transitions while making each stage boundary explicit.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

The response uses relevant process vocabulary, including “mixer,” “rollers,” “dough sheets,” “cooking,” and “sealing,” so the topic is generally clear. It also attempts more specific terms such as “manufacturing process” and “final product.” However, spelling and word-choice errors are noticeable, including “noodls,” “lebeling,” “thired,” and “stripes” for the intended product forms. Several expressions are unnatural or imprecise, such as “silos are collecting from flour vehicle,” “set to go to mixer,” and “noodles are being served in cups.” These choices sometimes make the process harder to picture. Aim for accurate process collocations and check spelling carefully; use terms such as “delivered,” “transferred,” and “packaged” where appropriate.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

There are attempts to combine stages in complex sentences, using clauses such as “where it mixes with water and oil” and “which are then processed by cutter.” However, the range is limited, and errors in sentence structure, verb forms, articles, and punctuation recur. For example, “silos are collecting from flour vehicle” has an unsuitable verb construction, while “where it mixes … and make dough” shifts agreement within the clause. The sentence beginning “In the following stage” also combines several actions without consistently controlled verb forms. Missing spaces after commas and inconsistent comma use further affect readability. Build accuracy with shorter, complete sentences first, then add subordinate clauses; check subject–verb agreement, articles, and consistent passive forms when describing a process.
