Overall, The manufacturing factory process of noodles start with supply of flour from vendor to company which go thourgh various departments which includes 8 different portions. The intial part where they store the flour to last part where they put labeling of their brand.

Noodels are made from flour. The first step is to store the flour after that they mix flour with water and oil. once these three ingredients are mixed together then they passed them through rollers to dough sheets to dough strips. furthermore, dough strips send the material to noodles discs to give the shape which forward them for cooking and after complete cooked than dry them.

After successfully cooked, the second phase comes where they put them in cups for adding vegetables and spices as well as forward to next machine for putting labels on them then they are ready to go to market.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

You identify the process as beginning with flour and ending with labelled cups, and you report several central stages: mixing flour with water and oil, forming sheets and strips, shaping noodle discs, cooking and drying, and adding vegetables and spices. This gives a relevant account of the main sequence. However, some features are less fully or clearly described: the overview’s “8 different portions” is vague, and the final stages are compressed. The diagram shows cups being filled with noodles before vegetables and spices are added, followed by labelling and sealing; your account could make this order more precise. Mentioning the rollers and the final sealed cups would also make the process description more complete.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.5

The response has a clear overall structure: an introduction, an overview, and two paragraphs describing the stages in sequence. Connectors such as “The first step,” “furthermore,” and “After successfully cooked” help signal progression, and the reader can follow the broad movement from flour to finished product. This meets the lower-band expectations and shows some stronger organisation. However, progression is not consistently smooth: “once these three ingredients are mixed” begins a new sentence without a capital, while “then they passed them through rollers to dough sheets to dough strips” makes the sequence difficult to track. The “second phase” division is also not clearly supported by the diagram. Use clearer stage-by-stage links and refer consistently to the noodles or cups.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You use enough process-related vocabulary to communicate the main stages, including “flour,” “rollers,” “dough sheets,” “noodles discs,” “cooking,” and “vegetables and spices.” Some choices show an attempt to vary expression, such as “manufacturing” and “ingredients.” However, the range is limited and several word-choice, collocation, and spelling problems reduce precision: “quick noodles manufacturing,” “ready to use process,” and “put labeling of their brand” are unnatural, while “Noodels” and “thourgh” are misspelled. Prefer standard process language and accurate forms, for example “instant noodle production,” “the finished product,” and “apply labels.” More precise verbs for each stage would also help avoid repeated general wording such as “put” and “send.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and longer sentences, including a sequence with “after that” and a clause beginning “where they store the flour.” The main meaning is generally recoverable, but control is uneven: several sentences contain errors in verb forms, agreement, articles, or sentence boundaries. For example, “The manufacturing factory process of noodles start” needs a singular verb, and “which go thourgh” does not agree with its subject. In “once these three ingredients are mixed together then they passed them,” the tense and clause structure are faulty. Capitalisation after full stops is also inconsistent, as in “once.” Practise accurate present-simple passive forms for process descriptions, such as “the flour is mixed” and “the noodles are dried,” and check each sentence for a complete, correctly linked structure.
