A short sample
Taken from the free preview.
Most candidates sit down for IELTS Academic Writing Task 1 with intense anxiety: "How can I describe every single number? What if I miss a trend? What rare synonyms should I memorize for 'increase'?"
Task 1 is not an essay. It is an objective, factual information transfer report. You are presented with a visual graphic, and your sole duty is to extract its vital features and communicate them cleanly into a structured English report of 150 to 180 words within 20 minutes.
