There are three asi! things you need to stru!ture an IELTS writing task 1. 1.
Introduce the graph
2.
Give an overview
3.

"e’ll look at ea!h of these in turn.
1# Introdu!e the $raph %ou need to egin with one or two senten!es that state what the IELT %ou IELTS S writing task 1 shows. To do this, paraphrase the title of the graph, &aking sure sur e you put in a ti&e fra&e if there is one. Here is an e'a&ple for the ao(e line graph) The line graph illustrates the amount of fast food consumed by teenagers in Australia between 1975 and 2000, a period of 25 years.
%ou %o u !an see this says the sa&e thing as the title, ut in a different way.
*# $i(e an +(er(iew %ou also need to state what the &ain trend or trends in the graph are. on’t gi(e detail su!h as data here - you are ust looking for soðing that des!ries what is happening o(erall. +ne thing that stands out in this graph is that one type of fast food fell o(er the period, whilst the other two in!reased, so this would e a good o(er(iew. Here is an e'a&ple) !erall, the consumption of fish and chips declined o!er the period, whereas the amount of pi""a and hamburgers that were eaten increased.
This !o(ers the &ain !hanges that took pla!e o(er the whole period. %ou &ay so&eti&es see %ou s ee this o(er(iew as a !on!lusion. It does not &atter if you put it in the !on!lusion or the introdu!tion when you do an IELTS writing task 1, ut you should pro(ide an o(er(iew in one of these pla!es.
/# $i(e the etail %ou %o u !an now gi(e &ore spe!ifi! detail in the ody paragraphs. paragra phs. "hen you gi(e the detail in your ody paragraphs in your IELTS writing task 1, you &ust &ake referen!e to the data.
The key to organi0ing your ody paragraphs for an IELTS writing task 1 is to group data together where there are patterns. To do this you need to identify any similarities and differences. Look at the graph - what things are si&ilar and what things are different? s we ha(e already identified in the o(er(iew, o(er(iew, the !onsu&ption of fish fish and !hips de!lined o(er the period, whereas the a&ount of pi00a and ha&urgers that were eaten in!reased. So it is !lear that pi00a and ha&urgers were following a si&ilar pattern, ut fish and !hips were different. +n this asis, you !an use these as your 2groups’, and fo!us one paragraph on fish and !hip and the other one on pi00a and ha&urgers. Here is an e'a&ple of the first paragraph) #n 1975, the most popular fast food with Australian teenagers was fish and chips, being eaten 100 times a year. This was far higher than pi""a and hamburgers, which were consumed appro$imately 5 times a year. %owe!er, apart from a brief rise again from 19&0 to 19&5, the consumption of fish and chips gradually declined o!er the 25 year timescale to finish at 'ust under (0 times per year.
s you !an see, the fo!us is on fish and !hips. This does not &ean you should not &ention the other two foods, as you should still &ake !o&parisons of the data as the questions asks. The se!ond ody then fo!uses on the other foods) #n sharp contrast to this, teenagers ate the other two fast foods at much higher le!els. )i""a consumption increased gradually until it o!ertoo* the consumption of fish and chips in 1990. #t then le!eled off from 1995 to 2000. The biggest rise was seen in hamburgers, increasing sharply throughout the 1970+s and 19&0+s, e$ceeding fish and chips consumption in 19&5. #t finished at the same le!el that fish and chips began, with consumption at 100 times a year.
