Introduction to Writing Task 1 (Academic) In IELTS writing module students are required to write two writing tasks: Task 1 and Task 2 in one hour. In Writing Task 1 (academic) students are asked to describe an illustration in no less than 150 words. This illustration may be a bar graph, line graph, table, pie chart, flow chart, diagram, map etc. In task the students may be asked to write about a set of charts also. The recommended time for writing task 1 is 20 minutes. Students often pay less attention to understand task 1 as they feel that task 2 is twice the weightage of task 1 so they need not to focus much writing it. Though, the score weightage of task 1 is less but it is still very important to write it correctly to achieve an acceptable score in IELTS.
Common problems in writing task 1 Students appearing in IELTS often face problems in describing task 1 due to lack of proper coaching and guidance.The common areas where students face problems are:
Confusion about the information to be focused Writing too much information, Time management, Tense usage, Organizing and grouping of information, Variation in language etc.
Best Strategies to write task 1 Here are some of the best strategies to assist you to write the task 1in a well-organized manner.
Planning in advance help the students to write a good task. While planning students should consider some important things such as what information is given in introduction, the type of task that whether it require you to follow trends or compare the variables, how many variables are there in the task and how would you group them, what are the striking features and which tense you need to use, what are some of the vocabulary words and synonyms you can use etc. Task 1 require the students to write a report by analyzing and selecting the common features of the given chart in formal words so students should avoid including their personal opinions and assumptions in the task. Students should follow a structure to write it in a coherent way. Introduction of the task should be paraphrased by changing the sentence structure and adding synonyms. Check the time period if mentioned to take the clue about tense usage. It is a good approach to make two body paragraphs. Group the information on the basis of common trends including initial, highest and lowest values etc. when it is a trend chart,while writing a comparison chart consider the highest, close to the highest, lowest, similar ones and the variables with great difference etc. Students need to change the sentence structures for making task interesting e.g. The house prices increased. The living became expensive. There was hike in house prices etc. Write overall by selecting the most important feature of the task
