Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

Student answer (Band 5.0)

The given diagram shows how instant noodles are manufactured in the factory.

Instant noodles are manufactured in saveral processes,

1- Truck of loaded flour stores flour in storage silos.

2- Flour mix with water and oil.

3- Then that mixture goes to dough sheets with the help of rollers.

4- Then mixture goes to dough strips.

5- Then that strips goes to noodles discs where noodles got its round shape which can fit in the cups.

6- Then its goes through cooking oil and drying after that and noodles get ready to put into the cups and added vagetables and spices.

7- at the last it goes for labelling and sealing process and final product is ready to distribute to the shops.

These several steps took to get instant noodles ready to deliver and we took only 2 minutes to make and eat.

Here we have simple example that small things also took too much efforts to make, we have to give respact for small things in our live also.

AI examiner evaluation

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You identify the process as instant-noodle manufacture and report several relevant stages, including flour storage, mixing, shaping, cooking, adding vegetables and spices, and final labelling and sealing. However, the account is only partial: it does not clearly describe the full sequence from dough sheets to strips to noodle discs, or explain that the finished cups emerge on a conveyor. There is also no concise overview of the process’s main features, and the claim that it takes “only 2 minutes” is not shown in the diagram. The comments about effort and respect for small things are outside the task. Focus on an accurate overview and the key stages, without adding unsupported information.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The numbered list gives the reader a basic sense of sequence, and the use of “Then” and “at the last” signals that the process has stages. However, the response does not develop a clear overall progression: it begins with an introduction, shifts into a list, and then adds unrelated personal comments. Some links are unclear, such as “Then mixture goes to dough strips,” which does not explain how the dough sheets are transformed. The numbering is also inconsistent in style, and the final sentence repeats the idea that there are several steps. Group the stages into a clear beginning, middle and end, and use precise links such as “next,” “after shaping,” and “finally.”

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

Your vocabulary includes several relevant process terms, such as “storage silos,” “rollers,” “dough strips,” “noodles discs,” and “labelling and sealing.” This gives the response a minimally adequate range for describing the diagram. However, word choice and spelling errors are noticeable: “saveral,” “vagetables,” and “respact” make the writing less polished, while “truck of loaded flour stores flour” and “noodles got its round shape” are awkward or imprecise. “Distribute to the shops” and the comments about “small things” are not useful descriptions of the visual. Use accurate process vocabulary and concise collocations, for example, “flour is delivered by truck” and “the noodles are formed into discs.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

The response relies mainly on short, simple statements and numbered fragments, with limited control of more complex sentence forms. Frequent errors in verb forms and agreement make some stages difficult to follow: “Flour mix with water and oil,” “that strips goes,” and “Then its goes” need corrected subjects and verbs. Articles and sentence construction are also problematic in “Then mixture goes to dough strips,” while the long sentence beginning “Then its goes through cooking oil” joins several actions without clear grammatical structure. The opening list item is not a complete sentence, and punctuation and capitalisation are inconsistent. Practise forming complete passive sentences for process descriptions, such as “The flour is mixed with water and oil before being rolled into sheets.”
