Writing Task 1 is a unique animal! It is like no other essay you’ve ever had to write, and it does not mimic anything on other standardised English exams.

So, you need to know what the examiner is looking for in order to fulfill the criteria for high scores.

1. Important numbers only!
Do not put too many numbers in your essay, or your Task Achievement score drops.
Only put in the most important numbers. For example, in Change Over Time, you only need to give the beginning, end, highest and lowest numbers for each line.

2. Interesting, unique vocabulary
Don’t just use vocabulary you got from an IELTS class or in a textbook. That will only give you a 6 for vocab.
For example, don’t just say, “increase dramatically.” You can say, “grew impressively” or “exhibited a shocking jump.”

3. Clear organization
You need to organize your numbers into two clear groups.
Write one body paragraph about each group.
The key is always the best way to organize the information and decide the groups.


Of course, there are many more strategies and skills you need besides the ones in this video, but this is a solid start!

If you’re ready to get into our online IELTS course, 3 Keys IELTS, you’ll learn and practice all the strategies you need to score highly on all parts of the IELTS Exam.\n
