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 provided diagram illustrates the steps involve in the production of the instant noodles.

Overall, the whole process comprises on 8 stesp, which have been operated sequentialy. In the first six steps, the process of nodels preparation takes place, and in other two steps some external ingredients added in the noodle, then labled and sealed.

At the very first, flour has stored in the storage soils, which brings via heavy vehicles like van or truck. The flour put into a mixer where some water and oil mixes in flour, and then the dough prepared in mixer, which further passed through the rollers to create thin layer of the dough. These layers reachs the dough sheet, where they cutted cuted into the dough strips. These strips then put into noodels discs, and cooking oil adds into these dics for roasting noodles strips, after roasting they drys and put into the cups.

The process of noodles preparation has completed, now some vegetables and spices adds into the cups. Further these cups passed to another machine, where cups have sealed and labled.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.5

You cover the main stages and provide an overview, noting that the process is sequential and distinguishing noodle preparation from the later addition of ingredients and packaging. Most details match the diagram, including flour storage, mixing with water and oil, shaping, cooking and drying, and adding vegetables and spices. However, the overview is not fully precise: the first six stages are not all simply “noodles preparation,” and the final stages include adding ingredients as well as labelling and sealing. Some process details are also unclear or inaccurate, such as saying the dough sheets are where strips are cut and that oil is added to the discs for “roasting.” A more exact account of how the dough is shaped and the cups are filled would strengthen the response.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.5

The response has a clear overall structure: an introduction, an overview, and a chronological description of the process. Sequencing phrases such as “At the very first,” “then,” and “Further” help the reader follow the stages, and the progression from flour storage to finished cups is generally logical. This gives the account a coherent foundation. However, some links are mechanical or imprecise, and the long middle paragraph combines many stages without enough sentence-level separation. References such as “These layers” and “these dics” are not always clear, while “now” creates an abrupt transition to packaging. Use more precise stage links and divide the process into clearer groups to make cohesion more flexible and effortless.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use relevant process vocabulary, including “mixer,” “rollers,” “dough strips,” “vegetables and spices,” and “sealed,” so the reader can identify most stages. There are also attempts at more specific wording, such as “thin layer” and “external ingredients.” However, the range and control are limited by repeated or inaccurate choices: “noodles preparation” is repeated, “roasting” does not accurately describe the cooking stage, and “storage soils” appears to be a mistaken word choice. Spelling errors such as “stesp,” “sequentialy,” “labled,” and “noodels” are noticeable and sometimes make reading harder. Choose standard process terms and check spelling carefully to improve precision and fluency.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and complex sentences, including clauses linked with “where,” “which,” and “after,” and the overall sequence remains understandable. However, complex constructions are often faulty, and errors occur across much of the response. Examples include “the steps involve” instead of “the steps involved,” “the whole process comprises on,” and “some water and oil mixes,” where the verb form or agreement is incorrect. Passive forms are especially important for describing a manufacturing process, but phrases such as “flour has stored” and “they cutted” are not formed accurately. Articles and sentence boundaries also need attention. Practise accurate passive structures, for example, “the flour is stored” and “the dough is cut into strips,” before adding longer clauses.
