Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.5

You identify the subject and mention several relevant stages, including mixing, forming dough strips and discs, cooking and drying, and adding vegetables and spices before packaging. However, the process is reported only minimally and the overview does not clearly summarise its main progression. Some details are inaccurate or unsupported: the diagram does not specify potatoes or peas, and it does not say that dough sheets are available in different types. The sequence is also difficult to follow in places, and key stages such as flour entering the silos, the rollers shaping the dough, and the finished cups emerging are not clearly explained. Focus on accurately describing the stages shown and give a concise overview of the process from flour to sealed cups.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.0

There is an attempt to organise the response with an opening, an overview, and sequencing words such as “firstly” and “After.” These help signal that the diagram describes a process. However, the ideas are not arranged in a consistently clear progression: the overview is hard to interpret, and later sentences repeat earlier information or jump between stages. For example, the final sentence returns to the mixer and cooking after packaging has already been mentioned. Several clauses are joined without clear relationships, making it difficult to see which stage follows another. Use one paragraph for a brief overview and another to describe the stages in order, with clear links such as “next,” “after this,” and “finally.”

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

The response uses some relevant process vocabulary, including “storage silos,” “dough sheets,” “noodles discs,” “cooking,” “drying,” and “labelling and sealing.” This shows an attempt to use terms connected to the diagram. However, the vocabulary is basic and repetitive, and inaccurate word forms or spelling sometimes make the meaning unclear: “noodless,” “instent,” “ad,” and “masla jat” are examples. Phrases such as “the storage silos mixer in water and oil” do not express the intended process clearly. Choose precise verbs for each stage and check spelling. For instance, describe flour as being “stored,” dough as being “rolled into strips,” and cups as being “filled” and then “sealed.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.0

You attempt to connect stages in longer sentences, and the response includes some sequencing language. However, sentence structures are very limited and errors are frequent, often obscuring how the process works. The opening, “The diagram shows that how instant noodless are manufactured,” has an incorrect clause pattern, while “the storage silos mixer in water and oil” lacks a clear subject–verb structure. Verb forms and agreement are also unreliable, as in “the noodles discs in cooking oil and then drying” and “the vegetables spices are ad cups.” Punctuation and sentence boundaries are inconsistent, with several ideas run together. Practise writing complete passive sentences, such as “The dough is rolled into sheets and then cut into strips,” and check each sentence for a subject and a correctly formed verb.
