This sample writing meets all the requirements for a high band score. It has great cohesion and coherence, a clear overview, and ultimate accuracy. There are various sentence structures, specific vocabulary, and detailed information to describe trends effectively. (Specific academic vocabulary and phrases to describe trends are underlined in this sample writing.) Essential to note: The six writing samples that are described in depth in this section share a
few common points, which are crucial to consider while practicing IELTS
writing task 1:
1. All writing samples include four paragraphs: introduction, overview,
two body paragraphs (Organization of the given data and
paragraphing are the two key features that help with better
coherence, resulting in ultimate clarity and a high band score.)
2. In all the above sample writings, comparison (showing similarities)
and contrast (expressing differences) are being highlighted using
different structures and phrases. Comparative structures provide
these types of writings with more fluency and make them easier to
understand.
3. In all the sample writings, specific academic vocabulary and phrases
describe trends and their changes. Keep in mind that in describing
pie charts and tables, there is an overload of numbers and figures,
and it is somewhat difficult to see the trends through them; however,
it is crucial to use specific lexis to describe trends for a high band
score.
4. In all these writings, details, such as dates, numbers, and
percentages are used as much as needed. Note that it is not
mandatory to use all details; however, it is crucial to describe all the
given categories, mentioning a few details about each of them. How
detailed the writing is, depends on how detailed the task is. If the
task is not fully detailed, try to include as much detailed information
as possible to meet the word limit requirement. On the other hand, it
is acceptable to skip some pieces of information for fully-detailed
tasks to keep them to the point.
