Full Sample Response Version 3
This diagram presents the process by which bees make
honey.
There are seven key stages in this process, beginning
with the honey bees building a hive and concluding with the
collection and use of the honey.
Firstly, the bees build a dome-shaped or box-like
structure, called a hive, in which to live. It consists of many
individually-built units, called cells. Then, the bees leave the
hive to search for flowers. They are attracted to flowers by
their scent, and, as a result, they collect nectar, a sticky,
sugary substance, from each flower they visit. It is this
substance that forms the basis of honey production.
When the bees return to the hive, the nectar is deposited
into the cells. Next, the nectar is cooled down by the air
movement created by the flapping of the bees’ wings, which
also causes the nectar cells to lose their water content.
Finally, the honey is left as the product of the whole process
and can be enjoyed as a deliciously sweet treat.

How To Write A Description For A Map
In the IELTS exam, you might be asked to write a report based on
pictorial information such as a process or a map.
A map question usually asks you to describe the changes that
happened to an area over a given period of time.
Writing Task 1 Map questions are arguably among the toughest
questions to tackle in the IELTS exam. This is mainly because candidates
have to use a set of map-related vocabulary that they might not be used to.
The main features and changes are not as clear-cut as in the typical graph
and chart questions. For these reasons, it’s important to go into the exam
with a good strategy to help you write a high-scoring response.
