The easy way to ielts writing academic Module

The IELTS Test
IELTS
stands for 
International English Language Testing System
used
globally for various purposes. The test evaluates candidates’ English
proficiency level regarding the receptive skills of reading and listening and
the productive skills of speaking and writing. There are two modules in the
IELTS test: Academic and general. The listening and speaking parts are
identical for both modules; however, reading and writing portray the two
modules’ main differences. This book focuses on the writing skill for the
academic module. In this module, the writing section consists of two tasks:
task 1 is a short report on a graph or a diagram of some kind, and task 2 is
an essay. This reference book reviews both tasks and their requirements.

Writing Task 1
Differences between academic and general modules
As mentioned above, one of the main differences between the “Academic”
and the “General module” of the IELTS test falls on writing, especially task
1. In the “Academic module,” candidates require to write a short report on a
line graph, a bar chart, a table, a pie chart, a diagram, a flowchart, or a map
for task 1, while in the “General module,” candidates write a letter, which
can be formal, semi-formal, or informal.
The academic module
In the academic module, candidates need to develop a minimum 150-word
report on graphs, charts, diagrams, or maps, and there is no upper word
limit. I have categorized them under three different groups based on their
similarities in organizing the given information and the range of required
language and focal grammar. This categorization makes them easy to
comprehend. Following the defined structures based on the IELTS writing
band descriptors, which will be explained shortly, gives birth to the ultimate
organization and coherence, leading to clarity in transitioning numbers,
figures, and trends into written language.
This task will assess candidates’ ability to describe the main features of a
chart, a graph, or a diagram in a comparative and or descriptive style using
specific vocabulary. Task 1 comprises around 35% of the overall writing
score, and as it is a short writing, it takes up approximately 20 minutes of
the total 1-hour writing time.
