ielts.magoosh.com IELTS Writing The IELTS Writing Section has two tasks.
IELTS General Training and IELTS Academic have two different versions of Task 1.
The first General Training Writing Task requires test-takers to write a letter, email,
memo, or other short piece of business communication. IELTS Academic Writing Task 1
is an essay that describes the information found in a detailed chart, table, or graph.
IELTS Academic Writing Task 2 is the same on both versions of the exam. In IELTS
Academic and IELTS General training, the second writing task is a personal opinion
essay about a social issue.
IELTS General Training Task 1 Vocabulary For IELTS General Training, the vocabulary is pretty much the same as the
conversational vocabulary I showed you for IELTS Listening, earlier in this PDF.
Basically, you create a short written piece of a conversation: an email to a co-worker, a
letter to a friend, instructions for a colleague, and so on.
For IELTS Academic Writing Task 1 and IELTS Writing Task 2, there are a number of
specialized vocabulary words that you should know and use.
IELTS Academic Writing Task 1 Vocabulary In IELTS Academic Writing Task 1, you should use “reporting verbs” when you describe
the graph, chart or table for the task. True to their name, reporting verbs help you
report information that has been given.
Reporting verbs are introductory phrases in IELTS Writing Task 1; they introduce new
pieces of information that you take from
the task’s infographic.
