TASK ONE
In Task 1 of the Writing Module, you are given about 20 minutes to write a minimum of 150 words.You are asked to look at a diagram, table, graph or short piece of text and describe the information in your own words. There are three important steps you should follow: preparation, writing and editing. These steps will help you to write a coherent and well organised essay in the time given.
Preparation (about 2 minutes)
You need to spend 2-3 minutes working out exactly what you are going to do. You should pay attention to the following points:
Writing (about 15 minutes)
When writing a Task 1 report, include:
The introductory sentence explains what you are describing, for example:
‘The table compares the population growth and interstate migration in each Australian state for 12 months to the end of 1994.
‘The graph shows the growth of computers in Australia between 1975 and 1995.
‘The pie chart represents the proportion of gases contained in natural gas.
Body paragraphs
When discussing the date presented in the task, identify significant trends and give examples that relate directly to the given information to support your statements. If you are explaining a process or an object and how it works, you need to group your information so that it follows a definite logical order.
Remember that the use of verbs expressed in the present passive voice is often appropriate when giving a description of a process or procedure, for example:
‘Coffee beans are pulped to remove their casing. They are then soaked in water, rinsed thoroughly and dried. After the beans are sorted, they are roasted in a kiln and blended. Next, they are packed and dispatched to shops and supermarkets.
Concluding sentence (optional)
A simple concluding statement could include any of the following, where relevant:
Editing (about 2 minutes)
Make sure that you have followed the instructions carefully. Be sure that you have written what you intended and that no important ideas are missing.
In the last few minutes, check for obvious errors, such as spelling or grammatical errors.
TASK TWO
All too often students begin planning or even writing their answers in the IELTS Writing Module before they understand what is actually expected of them. Following the steps below will help you to plan a well-structured and coherent essay or report that addresses the given task.
Preparation
You may wish to spend about 5-7 minutes working out exactly what you are going to do. There are five steps to consider.
Writing
When you are writing a Task 2 answer, a structure based on the following elements could be used (summarised in the flow chart opposite).
Introductory paragraph
The introduction of a Task 2 answer should begin with a general statement or idea of your own that takes into account the key topic words or their synonyms. The last sentence of the introduction should include a thesis statement which shows the point of view or direction that will be taken in the answer.
Body paragraphs
Body paragraphs each consist of several sentences that are arranged in a logical way to develop a main idea. You can expect to write about 2-4 body paragraphs for a Task 2 answer. Each of these contains an appropriate connective word to ensure a smooth transition between paragraphs. This connective is then put in a topic sentence which is the main point of the paragraph clearly stated in a sentence. Every sentence in the paragraph must be directly related to it. Try to develop every paragraph adequately. This may be done through the use of examples, explanations, detail, logical inference, cause and effect or making comparisons or contrasts. There are many different ways to organise your ideas for body paragraphs. Be confident of the ideas you choose.
The conclusion
A good conclusion serves several purposes:

BODY PARAGRAPH 2 |
BODY PARAGRAPH 3 |

Editing (about 3-5 minutes)
In the last few minutes, you should check for obvious errors, such as spelling or grammatical errors. Be sure you have written what you intended and that there are no important ideas missing.
Study the checklist for editing. It lists points to think about when checking your essay. Become familiar with the list so that you will know what to check for in the actual IELTS Writing Module.
1. — I have used accurate grammatical structures, for example, consistent verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, accurate word formation (especially of nouns, verb and adjectives) and appropriate use of ‘a and ‘the as well as prepositions. 2. — I have used a range of sentence structures. 3. — I have used appropriate vocabulary. 4. — I have used accurate spelling. 5. — I have stated the main idea for each paragraph in a topic sentence and all the points are related to this topic. 6. — I have used connective words effectively to link ideas so that the thoughts move logically and clearly from sentence to sentence and paragraph to paragraph. 7. — I have developed each paragraph adequately. 8. — I have supplied enough detailed information and sufficient examples or facts. 9. — I have developed a definite point of view. 10.— Every paragraph that I have written has definitely helped to address the task. |
