1. Print a collection of questions
Before you start writing any task 1 essays, it's a good idea to have an overview of the
different types of questions that you might face. Try to get paper copies (printed) of
around 10 different questions – it is useful to be able to see them all in one place.
Your 'pack' of questions should include: a line graph, bar chart, pie chart, table, 2
different charts, 3 or more similar charts, process diagram, comparison diagram, life
cycle and a map.
2. Practice parts of essays
Instead of writing a full essay, try writing 10 introductions - one for each of the
questions in your 'pack' (see point 1 above). The next time you are studying, just focus
on writing overviews. On a different day, practice describing percentages, or
comparing numbers etc.
3. Use 'model' sentences
Read good samples, band score 7.0 and above. You can find them here and also at the
end of Cambridge IELTS books. Read one good sample several times. Every time, read
it from a different perspective, for example, once for the vocabulary used, once for
the grammar and the grammatical structures used and one more time to the
organization of the report or the essay. Underline some model sentences for
describing percentages, numbers and figures etc. You will find almost all the sentence
structures you need for writing Task 1. Use the sentences as models, and simply
change the content according to the topic.
