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 6.0)

The given picture dispalys the production of instant noodles involving eight different steps before the final resultant product is ready to go in market.

Now first of all flour in large quantity through trucks is brought into large storage areas known as silos in step 1 from there in step 2 it is moved to the mixer where oil and water are mixed into it further in step 3 passing on toward rollers which output sheets of the combined dough later passing these sheets onto the cutter which turns them thin strips in step 4 and these strips as passed onto mechanism which turns them into shape of discs in step 5 where they finally look like noodles and these discs are cooked using oil in step 6 at next moreover the dried noodles from previous now in step 7 poured into cup where vegetables and spices are mixed with these and finally in last step they are labled and sealed and get ready to be selled.

Overall diagrams shows instant noodles manufacuring process covering multiple steps starting from storing flour transitioning to sheets and strips all the way to packing of the discs noodles mixed with spices and labeled and sealed properly at last.

AI examiner evaluation

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.5

You cover the main sequence from flour storage through mixing, shaping, cooking, adding ingredients and final packaging, and your overview identifies the process’s beginning and end. Most stages are recognisable, including the addition of water and oil and the use of rollers. Some details are less fully or precisely reported: the diagram shows the noodles being dried after cooking, and the cups are filled with vegetables and spices, but these points are compressed into “dried noodles” being poured into a cup. The overview also calls the product “discs noodles,” which makes the final product unclear. To strengthen the response, give a concise overview of the linear process and report the cooking-and-drying and cup-filling stages more precisely.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.5

The stages are presented in the correct general order, and the numbered references help readers follow the process. The opening and closing paragraphs also provide a basic introduction and overview. However, nearly all the detailed stages are packed into one very long sentence, linked repeatedly with “from there,” “further,” “later,” and “and.” This makes the progression harder to follow and gives the account a mechanical feel. The overview comes after the detailed description, which is acceptable, but it repeats several details rather than clearly summarising the process. Divide the sequence into shorter sentences or paragraphs and use clear stage transitions such as “Next,” “After shaping,” and “Finally.”

Lexical Resource: Band 6.0

You use a reasonable range of process vocabulary, including “storage silos,” “mixer,” “rollers,” “sheets,” “strips,” “cooked,” and “sealed,” so the manufacturing stages are generally understandable. There are also attempts at more specific wording, such as “resultant product.” However, some choices are inaccurate or unnatural: “large storage areas” is less precise than the diagram’s “silos,” “mechanism” is vague, and “selled” is not the correct form. Spelling errors such as “dispalys,” “labled,” and “manufacuring” also reduce accuracy. Aim for precise process verbs and standard spelling, and avoid awkward phrases such as “go in market.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt to combine stages using subordinate clauses and sequencing phrases, but the long sentence beginning “Now first of all” contains several grammatical problems that make relationships between actions difficult to track. For example, “these strips as passed” has an incorrect verb form, while “the dried noodles from previous now in step 7 poured into cup” lacks a clear subject and correctly formed verb. The final phrase “get ready to be selled” also has faulty passive construction. Sentence boundaries and punctuation are often missing, and the response relies heavily on one extended structure. Use shorter sentences with a clear subject and verb at each stage, then check articles, passive forms, and punctuation.
