IELTS WRITING TASK ONE
● How many types of task 1 are there? There are many types for the academic IELTS paper. Here are the main types: - Diagrams - Maps - Building plans - Bar charts - Line graphs - Pie charts - Tables It is important to familiarize yourself with the types before your exam. It is also possible to get more than one type in your task 1 test. However, for the GT paper, you only need to write a letter. ● How much is writing task 1 worth? It is only worth a third of your mark for IELTS writing. Task 2 is worth twice as much. 9 ● Is the GT task 1 marked the same way as the academic task 1? No, there is a difference between the way one of the four criteria is marked. Task achievement, which accounts for 25% of your marks, is assessed differently in the general paper and academic paper. ● Can I take more than 20 minutes to write my task 1? You must manage your own time in the writing test. However, it is highly recommended that you don’t take more than 20 minutes to write task 1. ● How can I organise the information in task 1 (academic)? Always organise your information into the following paragraphs for task 1: 1. Introduction 2. Overview (key features) 3. Body paragraph A (accurate detail in a logical order) 4. Body paragraph B (accurate detail in a logical order) Task 1 is like a formula that you apply to all task 1 types. The more you get used to the formula, the quicker it will be to write your task 1 summary and report. Also, the more you practice and develop a technique for each type of task 1, the quicker you will write. ● Do I need to compare and contrast data in each body paragraph? No, you don’t. The instructions say to compare and contrast where relevant. It is not always appropriate to compare and contrast everything. In fact, it can sometimes make your summary and report very confusing to read. You must decide if the data should be reported only or compared and contrasted when you look at the chart and plan your writing. ● How can I write the introduction? The introduction is quite formulaic and can be learned. You look at the information given by IELTS and paraphrase it. You also need to add the dates, countries etc. it is usually short and no more than two sentences. Here is an example of an introduction: “The graph illustrates the number of people travelling abroad from the UK over a ten year period from 2000 to 2010.” You can also add information about the units: “Units are measured in…” ● Should I write a conclusion? No, you don’t need a conclusion for writing task 1. ● Should I put only two key features in my overview? It depends on the chart; some charts have more than two key features so you will need to include all of them in the overview. There is no fixed rule about how many key features to have. ● How can I score my own writing task 1? It’s not easy to grade your own writing. However, following the requirements for each band score will help you understand your score. An English teacher can help you score your writing. ● Will the examiner check my spelling? Yes, the examiner will pay attention to your spelling. This is part of the criterion of vocabulary. If you have a lot of spelling mistakes, you will get a lower score in that criterion. |
