IELTS Writing Component

December 12, 2019 IELTS Research

The IELTS Writing Component :

The IELTS writing test takes one hour. In this time you are required to complete two tasks.

TASK ONE is a report based on some graphic information provided on the question paper. With few exceptions, the graphic information will come in one of five forms – a line graph, bar graph, pie chart, table or diagram illustrating a process. You are required to describe the information or the process in a report of 150 words. This task should be completed in 20 minutes. It is important that you are familiar with the language appropriate to report writing generally and to each of the five types of report.

TASK TWO is an essay based on a topic given on the question paper. You should write at least 250 words in 40 minutes. It is important that you keep within the advised time limits as Task Two carries more weight in your final band score than Task One. Remember that illegible handwriting will reduce your final score.

Writing task 1

December 11, 2019 IELTS Research

Writing task 1: single line graph

You will be given a graph with a single line. Your task is to write a 150 word report to describe the information given in the graph. You are not asked to give your opinion. You should spend around twenty minutes on the task. Task one is not worth as many marks as task two and so you should make sure that you keep within the recommended twenty minute time frame.
What is being tested is your ability to:

• objectively describe the information given to you
• report on a topic without the use of opinion
• use suitable language to describe the graph

What is Writing task ?

December 11, 2019 IELTS Research

Writing task
What is being tested is your ability to:

• objectively describe the information given to you
• compare and contrast
• report on an impersonal topic without the use of opinion
• use the language of graph description

Selecting information
In completing this task it is important that you describe the whole graph fully. However, this does not mean that you should note every detail. In most cases there will be too much information for you to mention each figure. You will therefore need to summarise the graph in meaningful segments, as we saw in the section on single line graphs.

Report structure
Like the single line graph, your report should be structured simply with an introduction, body and conclusion. Tenses should be used appropriately.
Use two standard opening sentences to introduce the graph and your report. These opening sentences should make up the first paragraph. Sentence one should define what the graph is about, that is the date, location, what is being described in the graph etc.

Feel free to call for suggestions and queries.
