To prepare yourself to complete IELTS Writing Task 1, follow the five steps below:
- Learn to recognize and identify different graphic forms, such as line graphs, bar charts, pie charts, etc.
- Know what key information, comparisons and trends to look out for.
- Practice using the specific vocabulary required to describe those trends.
- Learn how to follow a plan to start, complete and finish your answer. Use sample Task 1 questions, included on this website, to practice writing out a full response. At first, do not time yourself. Later, once you’ve got the hang of it, time yourself and make sure you finish in 20 minutes.
- Know what NOT to include in your response.
By following the steps above, you will be prepared and confident, no matter what type of question appears in Task 1 of your actual IELTS exam.
