If you're taking the IELTS Academic test, are you ready for Writing Task 1?

Can you describe a complex data chart in advanced English, comparing the elements and identifying the trends? Can you compare maps or diagrams, or write an essay about a manufacturing process or a flow chart? These are all things you may need to do in Task 1 - and, without practice, they can be difficult for even the strongest IELTS candidates.

Written by experienced IELTS examiners, this book gives you a complete set of methods to manage Task 1 and maximise your band score, even if your English contains errors. Presented in clear modules, all the different task types are explained, together with the best ways to create an answer. There are multiple example tasks for reach type, each example followed by an analysis of the task, a band 9 model essay, and comments from real IELTS examiners explaining how the essay reached band 9 - and, of course, how you can do the same.

The task types covered in the book are:

Module A - Data Charts including bar and pie charts, graphs and tables. How to analyse the data, identify trends and exceptions, describe fixed and changing timescales.

Module B - Process Pictures including manufacturing and nature. How to sequence processes and use advanced English to paraphrase information.

Module C - Flow Charts from organisations and companies. How to describe progressive stages and multiple outcomes.

Module D - Maps including cities and locations. How to describe changes in places over timescales and different locations for decision-making.

Module E - Plans and Diagrams including buildings and installations. How to describe proposed changes and 'before and after' situations in advanced English.

In total, there are 26 example tasks - each with analysis, a band 9 model essay and examiner's advice on reaching band 9 yourself. Each module also has an IELTS practice task for you to start using the methods presented, so that you're ready for the real test. All in all, this book covers everything you need to get the highest score you possibly can in Task 1.
