Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You identify the process as having eight stages and give a relevant start and end point: storage silos and labelling/sealing. You also report several central steps, including mixing flour with water and oil, forming sheets and strips, and cooking and drying. However, the account is only partial: it stops before explaining that vegetables and spices are added, the noodles are placed in cups, and the sealed cups emerge on a conveyor. Some details are inaccurate or unsupported, such as saying flour is preserved “by the help of the trucks” and naming a fryer and dryer as separate machines. A fuller account of the later stages and a clearer overview of the complete sequence would make the summary more complete and precise.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response has a basic sequence, with an opening, an overview, and two paragraphs introduced by “To begin with” and “moving further.” These markers help the reader follow the early stages. However, progression becomes unclear near the end: the final sentence breaks off at “by,” and the later stages are not connected into a complete account. Some linking phrases are repetitive or awkward, while the long opening process sentence combines several steps without clear punctuation. Organise the description into a complete beginning-to-end sequence, using one stage per sentence or a clear grouping of related stages. This would strengthen the overall progression and make the relationships between steps easier to follow.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some relevant process vocabulary, including “storage silo,” “mixer,” “dough sheets,” “dough strips,” and “labelling and sealing,” so the topic is generally recognisable. However, the range is limited and several word-choice, spelling, or form errors make parts difficult to understand: “repersentation,” “calminating,” “floor” for “flour,” and “helpof frier” are examples. Phrases such as “formation of how” and “making of noodles disc” are also unnatural. Aim for precise process verbs and standard collocations, such as “is transferred,” “is rolled into,” and “is packaged.” Proofreading spelling and distinguishing “flour” from “floor” would improve clarity.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and longer sentences, but control is inconsistent, and errors often make the process harder to follow. For example, “there are eight major process” has a plural-agreement error, while “In which floor were preserved” is an incomplete and incorrectly formed clause. The sentence beginning “To begin with the first process” also lacks a clear grammatical structure, and the final sentence is unfinished. Passive forms are useful for describing a manufacturing process, but they need accurate subjects and verb forms—for example, “The flour is transferred to a mixer.” Use complete sentences, check articles and plurals, and punctuate the sequence of stages more carefully.
