Ielts Academic Test - Writing

Academic Writing

The Academic writing module is used to assess whether a candidate meets the more formal requirements of a higher education establishment. The tasks set and the requirements are therefore different to the General Training writing module.

Task 1

• The task will be to interpret a diagram or table and present the information in your own words, usually for a university lecturer. This may involve describing the information present or describing a process.
• First spend a few minutes making sure you understand what the diagrams or tables show. What is it you see? You may be required to explain the data presented, possibly making comparisions. You may be required to explain how something works or describe the steps in a procedure or a sequence of events.
• Once you have decided what the task involves by carefully reading the task description and looking at the diagrams/tables plan how you are going to answer it. You can use the question paper to make notes.
• Your first paragraph should explain, in your own words, what the diagrams/tables show. Do not just regurgitate the task description. If you do it will be ignored by the examiner and not included in any word count. You therefore need to paraphrase what is in the task description.
• Your following paragraphs should describe the data or process. You are explaining the information and drawing any conclusions that may be apparent from the data. Do not include opinions.
• You must write at least 150 words. Failure to do so will be penalised.

Task 2

• The second Academic writing task is designed to assess the candidate's ability to discuss a problem, point of view or argument. The issues raised are of general interest and suitable for candidates entering higher education.
• Read the task task description carefully. It is very easy to have an incomplete understanding of the topic. If so you will be marked down because you have not satisfied the requirements of the task
• Once you clearly understand the requirements of the task you must plan your essay. Use the question paper to do this. Introduce the topic in your own words. Do not copy the task from the question paper or it will be ignored and not included in the word count. You may be required to present an argument for or against a proposition, compare and contrast points of view, justify an opinion or evaluate evidence. End your essay with a conclusion.
• You must write at least 250 words. Failure to do so will be penalised.
