You have one hour to complete two writing tasks. It is recommended that you divide your time in this way:
Task 1 – 150 words – 20 minutes
Task 2 – 250 words – 40 minutes
IELTS ACADEMIC WRITING - TASK 1
In the first task, you must write a report based on pictorial information. This means you may need to describe a graph, chart, or diagram. It may be a bar chart, pie chart, line graph, or some other graphic representation. You might be asked to describe the process illustrated by a diagram. This involves describing the data, noting all key features, supporting main points with relevant information and pointing out the main trends.
To understand how to answer this type of task, it helps to read through the model answers provided in IELTS guidebooks.
IELTS ACADEMIC WRITING - TASK 2
In this task, you need to write an academic style essay on the single topic given. You may need to offer a solution to a problem, express an opinion or comment on ideas or arguments presented.
Your essay should be about four or five paragraphs in length, with an introduction, body and conclusion. It should not be a list of bullet points, but a properly organized essay, written in full sentences. You need to state your thesis, provide evidence or reasons to support your argument and write a strong conclusion. Use topic sentences to clearly identify the main theme in each paragraph.
