, Academic Writing Test
Duration: 60 minutes
The IELTS Academic Writing test is made up of two tasks. The topics in these tasks are related to areas
of general interest and are suitable for test takers entering undergraduate and postgraduate studies or
seeking professional registration. Responses to both tasks must be written in a formal style.
Task 1
You will be presented with a graph, table, chart or diagram and asked to describe, summarise or
explain the information in your own words. You may be asked to describe and present data, describe
the stages of a process, how something works or describe an object, plan or design.
Task 2
You will be asked to write an essay in response to a point of view, argument or problem. You will
support your point of view with relevant examples from your own knowledge and experience.
Summarising facts or figures from graphic information
In IELTS Academic Writing Task 1, you will be shown some visual information, a visual way to represent
information. You may be shown one or more than one visual. This visual information can be shown as:
Table
Chart
Process
Graph
Map
You will also be given instructions so summarise the information you see by selecting and reporting
the main features you see, making comparisons where relevant. You will need to do an information
transfer task – the visual information you are given needs to be presented in the form of text.

, To complete the task successfully, you will need to:
1. Write an introduction
2. Write an overview (a summary of what you see)
3. Present and highlight the key features with figures (data)
You will need to write a minimum of 150 words and answers must be written in full, no bullet points or
notes.
Writing an essay
In Task 2 of the Academic Writing test, you are asked to write an essay in response to a point of view,
an argument, or a problem. Essays should be written in an academic or semi-formal style. Topics
are about relevant issues and focus on a particular aspect of the topic. For example, if the topic is
about computers, the focus will be on a particular aspect rather than writing about computers in
general.
The task instructions give you information about the question telling you how to discuss the topic in
your essay. You may be asked to provide factual information, outline and present solutions, justify an
opinion or evaluate evidence and ideas. It is important that you complete the task carefully using
relevant ideas and examples to support your position. Your ideas should be organised clearly, using
paragraphs for each idea. You must write a minimum of 250 words.
You are assessed on your ability to follow English essay-writing conventions to organise and link
information in a coherent way using language accurately and appropriately to express your ideas and
opinions.
