Graphs and Charts

The academic Task 1 requires a bit of knack to answer the graphs and charts. Generally the candidates have this idea that the task requires all the information to be put into the report. But it is to be noted that all the information need not be put to words, rather information that highlights the main features of the task needs to be written.
The best possible technique to look for information in the graphs is to look at the highest or lowest points in the data, any averages or exceptions, thereby comparing the data. As the task needs only 150 words to be written, you can begin by describing the type, title, date and scale of the graph. All that needs to be done after this is to compare the factual data that is given in the task. You do not need to analyse the presented data or give reasons for the same.
The other important aspect which needs to be mentioned here is the length of the Task. This depends on the type and data presented. If there is less data and only one graph, then you will be expected to include all or nearly all the data. If the task has 2 graphs and ample of data, then only significant and highlighted information can be compared. The end result should be coherent and cohesive presentation of the data which can be understood by the reader.

Ideas Matter In Writing

Words are important but in IELTS what matters is the quality of words. It is presumed that you will write your essays concisely. And so you obviously score high if you write to the point and the focus is more on the idea rather than just trying to fit words into it.

Ideas Matter In Writing

But then how to be concise? avoid using “there is” or “there are”.
For example-:
1. There are many issues that students face at university.
You must rather use it as-:
Students face many issues at university.

Remember, a reader is never hooked up to what you write, until and unless you give them a reason. And the reason can only be your idea or your opinion. No one there to read your “a,an, there, here”.

Your writing must be such that on reading it, a person is forced to read more and while doing this they enjoy it. The best way to find out if you have written a good essay is to re-read it. You are the best critic of your work. If you don’t like what you have written remember no one else will.
So before submitting re-read your essay again and while writing make sure you use better words, variety of grammar, the linking is properly done and your ideas are clear.
