Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.5

You identify the process as having eight steps and mention several relevant stages, including flour storage, mixing, rollers, dough sheets and strips, cooking and drying, and adding vegetables and spices. However, the account is only partly accurate and complete: the flour is stored in silos, and water and oil are added to the mixer, but “soil” is not an ingredient. The sequence after cooking is also unclear: vegetables and spices are added as the noodles enter cups, which are then labelled and sealed. The overview does not clearly summarise the full progression from flour to finished cups, and the claim that the product is delivered to markets is not shown in the diagram. A more precise overview and clearer reporting of the final stages would strengthen the response.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response is divided into paragraphs and generally attempts to follow the manufacturing sequence, so the reader can recognise a beginning, middle and end. However, progression is weakened by awkward or inaccurate links such as “this mixture delivered a rollers” and “this cooking oil and drying method delivered into the cups.” These make it difficult to tell what moves between stages. Connectors such as “First and foremost,” “However,” and “At least but not last” are either mechanical or unsuitable for describing a process, and the final paragraph repeats labelling and sealing. Use straightforward sequencing language—“Next,” “After this,” and “Finally”—and make each sentence describe one clear transition. This would make the organisation more coherent and the relationships between stages easier to follow.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some task-related vocabulary, including “storage,” “rollers,” “dough sheets,” “dough strips,” “noodles discs,” and “labelling plus sealing,” which helps identify the process. However, the range is limited and several word choices or spellings make the description unclear: “storage soils” and “water and soil” appear to mean silos and oil, while “overvier,” “labled,” and “machiene” are misspelled. Phrases such as “method delivered” and “peoples buy” are not natural collocations for a manufacturing process. Aim for precise process verbs and nouns, such as “is transferred,” “is shaped,” and “finished cups,” and check spelling carefully. More accurate vocabulary would make the stages easier to understand.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

The response attempts to combine stages using clauses joined by “and,” and it includes some passive forms, which are appropriate for describing a process. However, sentence structures are often faulty, and errors frequently affect clarity. For example, “The linear diagram illustrate that how instant noodles are made” has subject–verb agreement and clause-structure problems; “the flour delivered into the storage soil” lacks an auxiliary verb; and “this mixture delivered a rollers” has an unclear grammatical relationship between the mixture and rollers. Articles, plurals and verb forms are also inconsistent, as in “there are total eight steps” and “cups are labled.” Practise accurate passive patterns such as “The flour is stored” and “The mixture is passed through rollers,” then build longer sentences only when the links between clauses are clear.
