Pelawat, the other day in Part 1, I shared three mistakes that can hurt your Writing Task 1 score. Today, I'll cover three more struggles I often see students face and explain how to fix them so you can boost your score. 4. Describe Every Detail Instead of Summarising (in the Overview) Example: Writing about every data point, like, "In 2001, there were 5,000 units sold, then in 2002, it increased to 6,000 units," and continuing this for each year. Listing every number in the Overview makes your report hard to follow and misses the purpose of summarising. Task 1 asks for the main trends or key features, not every small detail. Correct Version: "Overall, sales showed a steady increase from 2001 to 2005, with only slight fluctuations." Tip: Focus on identifying and describing the most important trends or differences. 5. Not Changing the Introduction Example: Copying, "The table below shows the number of tourists visiting different countries in 2020," exactly from the prompt. Copying the introduction word-for-word shows that you lack paraphrasing skills. The examiner wants to see that you can express the same idea in different words. Correct Version: "The table provides data on how many tourists visited various countries in 2020." Tip: Practise rewriting introductions using synonyms and changing the sentence structure. 6. Misread the Data or Trends Example: Writing, "The number of visitors to the museum decreased significantly between 2015 and 2020," when the graph only shows a small drop. Misinterpreting the data leads to an inaccurate description, which lowers your Task Achievement score. It's important to read the information carefully and describe it accurately. Correct Version: "The number of visitors to the museum saw a slight decline between 2015 and 2020." Tip: Double-check your understanding of the data and use precise language, like "slightly," "significantly," "remained stable," or "sharply increased," to describe trends correctly. Feel like your score is stuck and not improving? Pelawat, If you feel stuck and don't know how to improve your score, I can help. My students have broken through these challenges and seen their scores improve as a result. I'm currently accepting a few dedicated students for one-on-one coaching. This is for those who urgently need to achieve their target IELTS score. Is that you? Reply to this email now to reach your IELTS goal with me in just 2 months.
