Avoid common mistakes
Here's some advice to help you avoid common mistakes in IELTS writing task 1:
1.
Don't copy the question for your introduction. You should paraphrase the question
(i.e. rewrite it using some different words.
2.
Don't forget to separate your paragraphs clearly.
3.
Don't forget to write a good summary/overview of the information. Put the overview straight after the introduction and try to write 2 sentences describing the information in general. You will not get a high score if you do not write a good overview.
4.
Don't describe items separately (e.g. 2 lines on a graph. You should always try to compare things if it is possible to do so. Instead of describing 2 lines separately, compare the 2 lines at key points.
5.
Don't try to describe every number on a chart or graph (unless there are only a few numbers. A key skill in task 1 is being able to choose the key information and describe or compare it well. Try to mention around 6 or 7 numbers in the main body paragraphs.

6.
Don't spend longer than 20 minutes on task 1. Practice spending 5 minutes on each of your 4 paragraphs. Stop yourself after 20 minutes remember that task 2 is worth more marks.

Describing more than one chart
Sometimes you are given two or three different charts e.g. a line graph and a bar, or a chart and a pie chart. In this situation it is best to mention each chart in the introduction, and then, describe the main feature of each chart. If there is a connection between the charts, describe it as well. After that, describe the first chart, and then describe the second chart.
