Writing task one : processes
Writing task one: processes
You will be given a diagram of a process. Your task is to describe the information given in the diagram by writing a 150 word report. You are not asked to give your opinion.
What is being tested
• Task one questions asking you to describe a process rarely appear on the IELTS test. They are different from table, graph and chart description because they test your ability to:
• describe each important stage in the process and expand where necessary
• link your descriptions of each stage
• use the present simple passive
As process tasks can vary widely, it is essential that you look at a lot of examples in IELTS preparation books. You should spend around 20 minutes on the task.

Writing Task : Consider these questions
Writing Task : Consider these questions
IELTS Writing Task 1 requires candidates to look at graphs, charts and tables and write about the information they contain. Ideally, someone reading your Task 1 essay would be able to draw the graph or chart you writing about, or produce a table containing the same information as the table you are writing about. However, it might not always be able to cover all the information available, in which case you should simply cover the main details provided.
Consider these questions :
Do I need to write an introduction?
Yes.
How many body paragraphs should I write?
It doesn’t matter, but if you only write one, it is difficult for the examiner to follow the organisation; so it is better to write two because the answer will be better organised.
Just split the information into two.
Do I need to write a conclusion?
No. you are not discussing anything, so you cannot draw any conclusions. If you write a conclusion, it will not be marked because it is irrelevant to the task.
Overall organisation plan for Task 1:
– INTRODUCTION
– BODY PARAGRAPH 1
– BODY PARAGRAPH 2
