Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

You cover the main stages in the correct general order, from flour storage and mixing through shaping, cooking, drying, and packaging. The overview identifies eight steps and the final labelling and sealing stage, which gives the reader a useful sense of the process. However, some details are less fully or clearly reported: for example, the dough sheets are produced by rollers, but your wording makes this sound like a separate “dough sheets machine,” and the cups are filled with vegetables and spices without clearly stating that the noodles enter the cups first. The claim that the process must be repeated if a step is missed, and that labelling helps customers recognise the product, is not shown in the diagram. Focus the overview on the linear production process and report only visible information.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.5

The response has a clear overall progression, with paragraphs moving from an introduction and overview to the early and later stages. Sequencing phrases such as “after that,” “In the next phase,” and “Afterwards” help the reader follow the process, and the stages are generally presented in order. This meets the lower-band expectation of coherent organisation and shows some of the flexibility associated with stronger cohesion. However, the links can feel mechanical, and some references are unclear, as in “the it dried noodles” and “it goes for the final step.” The overview also introduces an unsupported idea about repeating the process, interrupting the factual progression. Use clearer references such as “the dried noodles” and vary transitions while keeping each sentence focused on the next stage.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You use a range of process vocabulary, including “storage silos,” “rollers,” “dough strips,” “noodles discs,” and “labelling and sealing,” so the reader can identify most of the equipment and stages. Some attempts at more specific wording are useful, but inaccurate word choice, collocation, and spelling are noticeable and occasionally make the description less precise. Examples include “Floor” for flour, “throw” for “through,” “disce shape,” and “sealling.” Phrases such as “a particular machine” and “according to taste” are also vague or add information not shown in the diagram. Aim for accurate process terms and standard spelling, and avoid inventing details. More precise verbs such as “form,” “cut,” and “package” would make the account clearer.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and longer sentences, including a sequence linked with “after that” and “afterwards,” and the overall meaning is usually recoverable. However, control is uneven: several sentences contain errors in articles, agreement, verb forms, or sentence construction. For example, “a instant noodles” has an article error, “there are Eight steps will have to be carried” combines incompatible structures, and “the Noodles discs were cooked … and then kept it for drying” shifts awkwardly between passive and active forms. The final sentence also has an unclear subject in “Afterwards it goes.” Practise consistent passive constructions for process descriptions, such as “The discs are cooked and then dried,” and check each sentence for a clear subject and matching verb.
