GUIDELINE IELTS WRITING TASK 1

  1. TASK 1 OVERVIEW

1/ Overview:

– Time allowed: maximum 20 minutes

– Words: at least 150 words

In IELTS writing task 1, you will be given chart writing, on the time allowed, you should write as quick as possible and provide all information related to the types of chart. Each type of chart has its own way of analysis and we normally have 6 types: line graph, pie chart, bar chart, table, diagram and map. Besides, we also have a combined type of chart that is made from at least 2 kinds of picture illustration.

2/ Structure of writing:

  • Introduction: what does the chart show? (type of chart, function, object, time/place)
  • Overview / summary: what are the most noticeable features? à it normally stays after the introduction
  • Specific details: try to write 2 paragraphs.
  • Conclusion (optional)

* Note:

a/ Do not simply copy the words used on the graphic material (repetition is not allowed)

b/ In writing body

  • Remember to check the tense
  • Remember to use comparison and contrasting (if any)
  • Do not repeat information and list all data illustrated.

c/ ‘Overview’ not conclusion

You don’t need to write a conclusion for IELTS writing task 1. You need to write an “overview” of the information.

Question: But why don’t you need to write a conclusion? What’s the difference between a conclusion and an overview?

  • First, a conclusion is really a final judgement, decision or opinion. This is perfect for the task 2 essay, but task 1 asks you to write a description without analysis or opinions. On the other hand, an “overview” is a simple description of the main points. It is a summary of the information shown in the graph or chart.
  • Second, a conclusion should be at the end of a piece of writing. An overview or general summary could go either at the end or near the beginning. it’s a good idea to describe the main features of the graph or chart near the beginning of your essay.
