In the IELTS Academic Task 1, you must be able to identify, understand and describe
various types of graphic information. This is considered an important academic skill,
because it shows you can intelligently and clearly interpret and describe data
presented in charts, tables, graphs and diagrams. If you have written your answer
very well, even someone who cannot see the graphic should be able to understand
what happened.
5 STEPS TO MASTERING ACADEMIC TASK 1
To prepare yourself to complete Task 1, follow the five steps below:
1. Learn to recognize and identify different graphic forms, such as line graphs,
bar charts, pie charts, etc.
2. Know what key information, comparisons and trends to look out for.
3. Practice using the specific vocabulary required to describe those trends.
4. Learn how to follow a plan to start, complete and finish your answer. Use
sample Task 1 questions, included on this website, to practice writing out a
full response. At first, do not time yourself. Later, once you've got the hang of
it, time yourself and make sure you finish in 20 minutes.
5. Know what NOT to include in your response.
By following the steps above, you will be prepared and confident, no matter what
type of question appears in Task 1 of your actual IELTS exam.
