What are the different types of question in Academic Writing Task 1?

Modified on Mon, 29 Sep at 8:54 AM

In IELTS Academic Writing Task 1, you will be asked to write a 150-word report on a diagram. There will be only one question, so you will not have a choice. You must analyse the diagram and then write a report summarising the key features, and making comparisons where relevant. The six main types of diagram are:



▲  Line graph 

 


▲  Bar chart 


 

▲  Pie chart(s)


 

▲  Table


 

▲  Map(s)


 

▲  Process diagram




You may also see a question with two different types of diagrams.


It's important to get familiar with all of the diagram types for Writing Task 1. They will require a similar report structure, but different language.


You can learn more about this in our courses on IELTS FLEX and IELTS Ready Premium. Go to the Study area, choose Course and Writing Task 1, then work you way through the course content.
