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 diagram below illustrates the prepration method of instant noodles.

Overall, the manufacturing of instant noodles includes eight major steps. Starting with the mixing of floor with oil and water after that, it will pass through roller and then given the shape of noodles, and then it will bake and pack in cups.

To begin with, the floor is taken from storage silos, then it will be mixed with the water and oil. In the next stage, it will passes through through the rollers to make dough sheets and then it will cut into strips and given the shape of discs. Moreover, the noodles discs eill be cooked with oil and then it will be dryed. Furthermore, the cooked noodles will go through paking process, in which it will packed it cups and the vegetables and spices will added in each cup. Ultimately, the lables are attached to cups and it would also sealed by machine, and then it moved towards shops from where we bought this product.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

You identify the process as having eight stages and cover its main progression from flour storage and mixing through shaping, cooking, and packaging. The overview gives the reader a useful summary, and most stages are represented. However, some details are unclear or inaccurate: the flour is mixed with water and oil, not oil and water alone as a description of the ingredients might suggest, and the diagram shows noodles entering cups as vegetables and spices are added, rather than being packed into cups during a separate “packing process.” The final claim that the product moves to shops is not shown. To strengthen the response, describe the sequence precisely and focus on the diagram’s final conveyor stage rather than adding an unsupported destination.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.5

The response has a clear overall structure: an introduction, an overview, and a chronological account of the stages. Sequencing expressions such as “To begin with,” “In the next stage,” “Moreover,” and “Ultimately” help the reader follow the process, and the order is generally logical. This meets the lower-band expectations and shows some ability to guide progression. However, the repeated use of “then” and “it will” makes the account mechanical, while “after that” in the overview creates an awkward connection between ideas. Some references are also unclear, particularly “it will packed it cups,” where the subject and action are difficult to follow. Use fewer, more varied transitions and make each stage’s subject explicit.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You use relevant process vocabulary, including “storage silos,” “rollers,” “dough sheets,” “strips,” “discs,” and “labelling and sealing,” so the reader can identify most stages. There is also some attempt to vary wording with “manufacturing,” “preparation,” and “packaging.” However, spelling errors such as “prepration,” “floor,” “eill,” “dryed,” “paking,” and “lables” are noticeable, and some word choices are inaccurate: “floor” should be “flour,” while “bake” is less precise than “cook.” Phrases such as “given the shape of noodles” and “packed it cups” are also unnatural. Build accuracy with standard process collocations, for example “is formed into discs” and “is placed in cups.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and more extended sentence forms, including a useful overview and a sequence of linked process clauses. The passive voice is appropriate for describing manufacturing, as in “the floor is taken” and “the labels are attached.” However, control is inconsistent: “it will passes” has an incorrect verb form, “it will packed” omits the required participle, and “the vegetables and spices will added” is missing an auxiliary. There are also problems with agreement and sentence construction, such as “and then it moved towards shops,” and the overview’s “Starting with … after that” is not a complete, well-formed structure. Use the present simple passive consistently—“is mixed,” “are added,” “is sealed”—and check that each clause has a complete verb.
