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 7.0)

The diagram illustrates how the instant noodles are manufactured from delivery of flour to the sealing of packets.

Overall, the process begins with the delivery of flour and ends with the noodle packets being labelled and sealed. Between the steps, noodles are shaped into discs before vegetables and spices are added in it.

The process of noodles maufacturing begins when a truck delivers the flour which is stored in silos. Flour is then mixed with water and oil in a mixer. This mixture passes through rollers and becomes the sheets of dough. These sheets, after passing through a machine, are cut into strips. In the following step, these dough strips are shaped into noodle discs after they passes through another machine.

The resulting strips are cooked in oil and dried. The resulting material is dispensed into the cups. In the seventh steps, vegtables and spices, which are also known as tastemakers are added into the cups. In the final step, the cups which are loaded with noodles, vegetables and spices are labelled and sealed.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 7.0

You cover the main stages in the correct order, from flour delivery and storage through mixing, shaping, cooking, adding ingredients, and sealing. The overview identifies the start and end points and notes that the noodles become discs before the flavourings are added. Most details are grounded in the diagram, and the description of the dough moving through rollers and machines is clear. However, the overview could capture the process more fully by noting that it is a linear, multi-stage production process and that the finished product emerges in cups. Also, “packets” is less precise than the diagram’s cups, and the sentence about vegetables and spices being added “in it” is unclear. A more precise overview and final-stage description would strengthen coverage.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 7.0

The response is organised into an introduction, an overview, and two chronological body paragraphs, so the reader can follow the production sequence without difficulty. Linking expressions such as “Overall,” “In the following step,” and “In the final step” help signal progression, and the shift from dough preparation to cooking and packaging is logical. This is a clear, well-progressed account. Some connections could be more precise: “Between the steps” is vague, while “The resulting material” does not clearly identify the noodles or discs being described. The repeated use of “The resulting…” also makes the transitions slightly formulaic. Use specific references to the product at each stage and vary the transitions to make cohesion more flexible and unobtrusive.

Lexical Resource: Band 6.5

You use a suitable range of process vocabulary, including “stored in silos,” “passes through rollers,” “sheets of dough,” “cut into strips,” and “labelled and sealed.” These choices communicate the manufacturing stages effectively, and “dispensed” shows an attempt to use more precise language. However, some wording is imprecise or unnatural: “delivery of flour” could be expressed as “the delivery of flour,” but more importantly, “packets” does not match the cups shown, and “tastemakers” is not a natural term for vegetables and spices in this context. There are also spelling errors in “maufacturing” and “vegtables.” Greater accuracy in collocation and spelling, alongside more precise naming of the product at each stage, would make the vocabulary more controlled.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 6.5

You use a mix of simple and complex structures, including relative clauses (“which are also known as tastemakers”) and time or sequence clauses (“after passing through a machine”). Most sentences communicate the process clearly, and passive forms such as “are added” and “are labelled and sealed” suit a process description. Some grammatical errors remain, however. In “after they passes through another machine,” the plural subject requires “pass”; “In the seventh steps” has a number–noun agreement error; and “before vegetables and spices are added in it” has an unclear pronoun reference and an incorrect preposition pattern. The sentence “The resulting strips are cooked” also inaccurately identifies the cooked product after it has become noodle discs. More consistent agreement and clearer reference would improve accuracy.
