IELTS Writing Task 1: look at the chart first

It should be possible to understand any chart, graph or diagram without reading the question. So today's tip is: look at the chart (graph, diagram etc.) first. Make sure you understand what it shows, and put a circle around some of the key things that you can see.

I tried this with my students, and we found it very easy to understand the chart. Also, as we already knew what the chart was about, it was easier to understand the question statement.

Absolutely agree with you, we can say that task 1 is relatively reflected the visual task

I HAVE A QUESTION:IS THIS SENTENCE GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT?
During the period between 1986 and 1990, the European Community's wheat export experienced a growing trend, ultimately ending as the market leader in 1990 with over 20 million tonnes, followed by Canada (slightly under 20 million tonnes) and Australia (10 million tonnes)

THANK YOU.

I've learned a lot from THE WAY you write task 1. I'm trying to practice thinking fast and writing SIMPLE yet ACCURATE sentences. It's more useful to spend time thinking about the various sentence structures than about long complex sentences.

THANK YOU, SIMON.
