The Writing Module
GENERAL WRITING STRATEGIES
As a student at college or university, you will have to
produce a lot of written material. Some of this may be
in the form of short essays or reports. Other pieces of
writing will be longer and will require considerable
planning and attention to
detail. It will therefore be
important for you to be able to express yourself
clearly, write in a variety of styles and organise
your
ideas carefully. You will also need to be fairly accurate
in your writing, so that your message is not obscured
by a lot of grammatical errors.
IELTS WRITING ( A C A D E M I C )
IELTS tests your ability to produce two quite different
pieces of writing in a fairly short period of time. The
test is divided into two parts and you are allowed one
hour to complete both parts.
Writing Task 1
In the first part, you are given a task based on
some
graphic or pictorial information. You are expected to
write a descriptive report of at least 150 words on the
information provided,
Writing Task 2
The second task is more demanding. You are expected
to produce a written argument on a given topic and to
organise your answer clearly, giving some examples to
support your points. You will have to write at least 250
words and, as Task 2 is longer than Task 1, you are
advised to spend approximately 40 minutes on this
task and 20 minutes on the first task.
IELTS WRITING ( G E N E R A L TRAINING)
If you are planning to take the
GT module, the Writing
test is different. You are allowed one hour to complete
two tasks, of 150 and 250 words, as in the Academic
module. However, Task 1 is always a letter, while Task 2
is an essay based on a given topic.
