IELTS Exam Prep: How to Describe a Graph, Diagram, Chart or Table
In Task 1 of the IELTS Writing paper (1 hour), the examiner is looking for your ability to identify and describe – in academic style – the main features of some visual information: this may be a graph, table, chart or diagram of a device or process. You should give a well-organised response of at least 150 words and spend 20 minutes on this section of the exam (Task 2 is worth twice as much and should therefore take 40 minutes). Twenty minutes is not long at all, so you need to be as prepared as possible before you sit the exam.
