My template writing task 1 and vocabulary for maps and charts
Writing Task 1 of the
IELTS seems complicated because it has many types, like charts, tables,
diagrams, and maps. Therefore, we need a large vocabulary for each type.
However, in my opinion and after watching many tips from teachers, if you have
a template and know the most important vocabulary for each type, you will do
well in Writing Task 1.
So, I will share with
you my template and the vocabulary that I have been memorizing over months of
practicing Writing Task 1. I believe that it will help you improve in Writing
Task 1.
I would like to emphasize that you do not need a large vocabulary. Remember, you will do Writing Task 1 only once, so always practice with the same words that are easy for you to memorize. For example, in the conclusion, I use: to conclude, to sum up, or sometimes I use to finish.
Remember you have 20 minutes for this task and you write at least 150 words.
(there are some exercise for you to practice at the end of the post)
Let's start.
