Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.5

You identify the process as a sequence from flour storage to finished noodles, and you include several key stages: mixing, forming sheets and strips, cooking and drying, adding vegetables and spices, and labelling and sealing. However, the account is only partly complete and some details are unclear or inaccurate. The overview says there are eight steps, but does not clearly summarise the main transformation from flour into packaged cups. The rollers and the formation of noodle discs are not explained accurately, and the final claim that the product goes to transport for sale is not shown in the diagram. To strengthen the response, give a concise overview of the start and end points, then report each stage in the correct order using only information shown.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response has a basic sequence, supported by transitions such as “On the next step,” “afterward,” and “in the next step,” so the reader can follow the general movement through production. However, the ideas are not consistently grouped or connected: the overview is separated awkwardly from the description, and several stages run together in a long paragraph. Phrases such as “followed by the dough sheet” and “followed by the cooking” do not make the relationships between stages clear. The repeated use of “next” and “followed by” also makes cohesion mechanical. Organise the response into a brief overview and a clearly ordered process paragraph, using precise links such as “Once the dough is rolled into sheets…” and “After drying…”.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use relevant process vocabulary, including “storage silos,” “mixer,” “dough sheets,” “dough strips,” “noodle discs,” and “labelling and sealing.” This shows a minimally adequate range for describing the diagram. However, noticeable spelling and word-choice errors sometimes make the account difficult to interpret: “compony,” “praportion,” “labling,” and “stape” are examples. Some phrases are also imprecise or unnatural, such as “transport for sell in market” and “packaging prints.” Use accurate process verbs and collocations—for example, “is transferred,” “is cut into strips,” and “is packaged”—and check spelling carefully. Avoid repeating “dough” or “followed by” when a more exact verb can express the stage.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt to describe a sequence using both simple sentences and longer clauses, but control is inconsistent. Errors in sentence structure, agreement, articles, and verb forms occur frequently, as in “The process chart illustrate,” “they mixed praportion,” and “it pass dough.” Several sentences begin with a lower-case word after a full stop, and the fragment “which contain storage to full finished product” does not form a complete sentence. These problems sometimes make the process relationships hard to follow. Practise accurate passive forms, which suit a manufacturing description: “Flour is mixed with water and oil,” followed by “The dough is rolled into sheets.” Use complete sentences, check subject–verb agreement, and punctuate each stage clearly.
