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 daigram illustrates the production of instant noodles.

Overall, The process consists of eight distinct stages beginning with extracting flour from storage silos and culminating in the labelling and sealing the final product.

The first stage is to transport flour from storage silos to the mixer (consisting of water and oil) in the next two stage the flour mixer is converted into a dough sheets. Following this, In fourth step the dough sheets are now cut into dough strips.

In the fifth step, the sheets are spearted and formend into individual rounds shaped like noodles discs. Later this noodles shaped like discs are added into cooking oil and than dried, After drying they are put into cups along with vegetables and spices. Finally, these cups are now undergoing the process of labelling and sealing.

In conclusion, the manufacturing of instant noodles is properly demostrated in eight essentials steps from preaping to sealing.

AI examiner evaluation

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

You identify the process as having eight stages and give a clear overall direction, from flour storage to the final labelling and sealing. The response also reports several key transformations, including mixing, forming dough strips and discs, cooking and drying, and adding vegetables and spices. However, some stages are unclear or inaccurately described: the mixer does not consist of water and oil; these are added to it, and the dough is formed into sheets before being cut into strips. The account also omits the rollers and the final cups emerging on a conveyor. The main features are relevant, but explaining the sequence and equipment more precisely would make the coverage more complete.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.5

The response has a clear overall structure: an introduction and overview are followed by a chronological account, with a concluding sentence. Sequencing expressions such as “The first stage,” “Following this,” “Later,” and “Finally” help the reader follow the process. This logical progression is a strength, and the paragraphs are generally appropriate. However, some links are awkward or unclear, particularly “in the next two stage” and “After drying they are put into cups,” where the reference to the noodles could be clearer. Capitalisation after full stops and commas is also inconsistent, which interrupts the flow. More precise referencing and cleaner sentence boundaries would make the cohesion more flexible and less mechanical.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You use relevant process vocabulary, including “production,” “mixer,” “dough sheets,” “dough strips,” “labelling,” and “sealing,” so the reader can understand the general stages. There are also attempts to describe shape and transformation, such as “individual rounds shaped like noodles discs.” However, spelling errors are noticeable, including “daigram,” “spearted,” “formend,” “demostrated,” and “preaping.” Some word choices and collocations are imprecise: “extracting flour from storage silos” suggests flour is produced there, while it is transported from them, and “the flour mixer is converted into a dough sheets” does not express the intended transformation naturally. Use accurate process verbs such as “is mixed,” “is rolled,” and “is shaped.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

The response attempts both simple and more extended sentence forms, and the sequence is usually understandable. However, control of sentence structure and punctuation is uneven. For example, “in the next two stage the flour mixer is converted into a dough sheets” joins ideas without appropriate punctuation and contains errors in number and article use. “Later this noodles shaped like discs are added” also has problems with demonstratives, agreement, and sentence construction. Capital letters after sentence boundaries are inconsistent, as in “Following this, In fourth step.” These errors sometimes make the process difficult to follow, although the intended meaning can generally be recovered. Practise accurate passive forms and shorter, correctly punctuated sentences before combining stages into more complex structures.
