Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.5

You identify the general subject and mention several stages, including mixing flour with water and oil, forming dough sheets and strips, cooking and drying, and adding vegetables and spices. However, the account only minimally reports the process: it does not clearly describe the full sequence from the rollers through shaping the noodle discs to the final labelling and sealing stage. Some details are inaccurate or unclear, such as saying flour is added to “storage soils” and suggesting the noodles are made at home in two minutes, which is not shown in the diagram. A clear overview of the main stages, followed by an accurate step-by-step account ending with the finished cups, would make the response more relevant and complete.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.0

There is a basic attempt to present the stages in order, using phrases such as “First,” “after that,” and “then.” This gives the reader some sense of progression. However, most of the response is one long, run-on sequence, with little punctuation or paragraphing to separate the stages. Connections between ideas are often unclear—for example, “after that process the shape of the nododles became here” does not explain what happens next. The final comments about making noodles at home and buying them from a shop also interrupt the process description. Organise the response into a brief overview and clearly separated stages, using accurate linking phrases to show each transition.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some relevant process vocabulary, including “mixer,” “dough sheets,” “dough strips,” “noodles discs,” “cooking,” and “labelling and sealing.” This shows a basic ability to describe the diagram. However, the range is limited and several word choices or spellings make the description difficult to follow, such as “storage soils,” “spicies,” “nododles,” and “packings.” Phrases like “it is to much easily” and “we can made it” are also unsuitable for a formal process report. Use precise manufacturing verbs and nouns, and check spelling carefully. For example, describe the noodles as being shaped into discs and the cups as being sealed, rather than relying on repeated general phrases such as “after that process.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

The response attempts to connect several stages in longer sentences, but sentence structures are very limited and frequently inaccurate, so meaning is sometimes difficult to follow. Examples include “the process are as follow,” “We add some water and oil it can mix it easily,” and “we can made it only in 2 minutes.” These show problems with subject–verb agreement, verb forms, and sentence boundaries. The description also shifts between present and past forms, as in “the shape … became,” without a clear reason. Use the present simple consistently for a process, and build shorter, complete sentences with a clear subject and verb. Accurate full stops and commas would also help prevent run-on sentences.
