2. IELTS ACADEMIC WRITING - TASK 1

In the first task, you must write a report based on pictorial information. This

means you may need to describe a graph, chart, or diagram. It may be a bar

chart, pie chart, line graph, or some other graphic representation. You might

also be asked to describe the process illustrated by the diagram. This

involves describing the data accurately, pointing out trends and relevant

information, and using appropriate vocabulary.

To understand how best to answer this type of task, read through the

model answers provided in IELTS guidebooks. Examiners will score your

answer based on your ability to group relevant information, link ideas in

complex sentences, and use appropriate vocabulary to describe trends. This

is not as difficult as it sounds. By reading through several sample answers, you can extract the vocabulary you need and also learn a variety of sentence

structures, to present your information in a formal, academic manner. For thehighest marks, also pay close attention to your spelling and copy given words

and phrases correctly.

3. IELTS ACADEMIC WRITING - TASK 2

In this task, you need to write an academic style essay on the single topic

given. You have no choices here – you must write only about the one

topic – so prepare yourself with strategies to write a well- organized essay

on a variety of subject areas. You may need to offer a solution to a

problem, express an opinion or comment on ideas or arguments presented.

Your essay should be about four or five paragraphs in length, with an

introduction,

body and conclusion. It should not be a list of bullet points, but a properly

organized essay, written in full sentences. You need to state your thesis, provide evidence or reasons to support your argument and write a strong

conclusion. Use topic sentences to clearly identify the main theme in each

paragraph. You could use the guide below to structure your essay:

Paragraph 1: Introduction: Restate the topic, indicate your position

Paragraph 2: Body: Main idea, supporting idea, examples

Paragraph 3: Body: Main idea, supporting idea, examples

Paragraph 4: Conclusion: Summarize ideas, restate position
