IELTS Academic Writing Task 1&2 By Rachel Mitchell (3)11
2. You will be using
sequencers .
Sequencers
are words telling us about
“when”
or
“how long”
or
“how often”
. For example, these kinds of words are
sequencers:
First
, you do something;
then
, you do something else;
next
, you do
something;
before
you do something else, you do something (before I boil the water, I open the tea bag/ I boil the water until the chicken is ready…) What about the words like
“repeatedly”
, or
“twice”
, or
“several time”
? These
words tell us that we are doing something
more than once
. So you might have
sequencers that tell you
“when”
like first, next, then, finally…or
sequencers
tell you about
“how long”
such as
“until/before”
or words that tell you
“how
often”
like repeatedly, several times, twice. This is used to tell you several
things about time.
3. Finish the purpose by
using non-defining relative clauses
. These are used
to add extra information about whatever you want to tell. In this case, the
extra information will be the purpose, tell us about
“why”
for example, why are we melting the chocolate?, why are we crushing the rocks?. …
which
kills
the bacteria
, or….
which
prepares the tea
.
Try to use more academic words to talk about a reason for something like “ in order to kill the bacteria”, or “ so as to kill the bacteria”, or “ to make sure/ to ensure the bacteria is killed”.
We can use
non-defining relative clauses
to show
where
something is. For
example “next, the milk is sent to the factory, where it will be turned into the cheese and ice cream” These are very useful, I want you to know that the process report contains
something similar to the main point.

of steps.
