Page 31 - IELTS Academic Writing Task 1: The Ultimate Guide with Practice to Get a Target Band Score of 8.0+ In 10 Minutes a Day

So all that you need to know is just some basic things, and you are able to change the
words around a little bit and that’s the key. You don’t need to learn a ton of grammar.
You just need to learn this grammar and how to use these words. That’s it, and then you
will become a master of IELTS task 1 writing. Now, I would like to warn you that the

biggest problem my students have when it comes to task 1 writing is that they don’t
believe it’s simple.

When it comes to give you dates and times, and to give you figures, you don’t need to

use prepositions. What prepositions do we need? From, in, to or maybe at. So, even the
prepositions that you need are very limited, you just need to pay attention and notice
what is going to be used in the same structure over and over again. The only thing that
will change will be basic things here are:

· What happens or happened?
· The figure?
· What’s being measures? (The unit of measurement)

· The dates? (Time)

It’s totally mathematical. It’s a formula. Got it?

Now, how do we put these things together to make a report?

Here is the method.

I don’t want you to be nervous or confused in the exam, I want you to be more confident
like “all right, the first thing is this...next thing is that...and the next thing is
this…..and the next thing is you know how to write a report excellently”.
