Pie Chart FAQs For Writing Test
Task 1: Pie Chart FAQs for writing test
Many candidates write about every detail in a pie chart in a list format. This means that their sentence structure is very limited and they can’t get more than a Band 5.
Are pie chart questions more difficult than other Task 1 questions?
No, not really – they might appear more complicated visually because of the way they represent information and also because pie charts are normally in questions with more than 1 set of data, but they are no more difficult (or easy!) than other Task 1 questions.
Do I have to include all of the information in a pie chart?
No, you don’t. Pie charts often have categories such as ‘miscellaneous’ and ‘others’; you don’t have to include these areas in your answers because it’s not really clear what they refer to and they are normally included just to make up 100%.

Useful Language for Speaking Phase Two
Useful Language for Speaking Phase Two
Most candidates give good answers to Phase Two, but they tend to put the information into separate sentences and don’t try to link it all together. In Phase Two you can increase your score for organization quite a lot if you know how to link sentences.
Phase Two Tasks
Generally Phase Two tasks fall into 4 categories:
– Something you do
– Something you like
– Describing something
– Something you have done in the past
In the first 3 categories you will need to talk in the present tenses, normally the Present Simple; and in category 4 you will be using mainly the Past Simple.

IELTS Speaking Tip – Body Language
IELTS Speaking Tip – Body Language
While body language will not give you extra marks directly, they can have a positive effect on your confidence and what you’re communicating during the exam.
Students who use it properly often have better control of their pronunciation in terms of speed, intonation, and volume level. It makes everything much easier to understand from the point of view of the listener.
