If you&#8217;re taking the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ieltsadvantage.com\/2015\/08\/20\/general-training-task-1-strategy\/\">General Training IELTS exam<\/a>, click on the link.<\/p>\n<p>In the IELTS Academic Writing Task 1 exam, you will be required to write a report about at least one of the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A process<\/li>\n<li>A map<\/li>\n<li>A bar chart<\/li>\n<li>A pie chart<\/li>\n<li>A line graph<\/li>\n<li>A table<\/li>\n<li>Multiple graphs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This report needs to be at least 150 words and is worth 1\/3 of your overall score for IELTS Writing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That means that this short report could potentially make the difference between a Band 6 and a Band 7 in the writing exam. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ieltsadvantage.com\/video-success-stories\/\">our IELTS students<\/a> used to spend around 80% of their writing preparation on Task 2 before they joined our VIP Course. When asked for the reason why, most replied that it was because \u201cTask 2 is worth more marks\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although this is true, I don&#8217;t think anyone that registers for the IELTS exam should feel unprepared when they go into the test centre. Choosing to perfect your ability to write a Task 1 report will both boost your confidence <em>and<\/em> increase your chances of getting the score you need.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In my opinion, the key to scoring well in Task 1 is knowing exactly how your report will be marked. You can then use this information to give the examiner what they need to award you a Band 7 or above. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The slideshow below has arranged each part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/takeielts.britishcouncil.org\/sites\/default\/files\/ielts_task_1_writing_band_descriptors.pdf\">Task 1 marking criteria<\/a> into a checklist. By following this checklist, you will give the examiner everything you need to score a Band 7+ in your report. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don&#8217;t have an IELTS tutor, this is a great alternative to getting your reports corrected.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Feel free to print it out and tick \u2713 it off as you assess your essays.<\/p>\n<p>Let me know what you think of it in the comments below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/presentation\/d\/e\/2PACX-1vRFZcHtM0IHvkDq2_7P3itZvz0DsIKf9Zvdmvvh0QUerIUgVPvdKGqqYoMuYySjYs_hKldZ6Rx85X6P\/embed?start=false&amp;loop=true&amp;delayms=10000\" width=\"960\" height=\"569\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Further Writing Task 1 Resources\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ieltsadvantage.com\/2015\/07\/11\/ielts-academic-writing-task-1\/\">Writing Academic Task 1 in 5 Easy Steps\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Task 1 can seem really difficult if you haven\u2019t seen it before.
