The Writing section of the IELTS syllabus consists of two tasks. Task 1 for Academic IELTS asks you to summarize data from a graph, chart, map, or diagram in 150 words. General Training Task 1 involves writing a letter based on a given situation. Task 2, common to both modules, requires writing a 250-word essay on a topic, presenting your opinion, or discussing advantages and disadvantages.
Key strategies include practicing formal and semi-formal language, organizing your ideas logically, and focusing on grammar and vocabulary. Understanding the criteria for evaluation, such as coherence, grammatical range, and task achievement, is vital for mastering this part of the IELTS exam syllabus.
