Let's have a look at the structure that you need to use for your IELTS writing test 1 report. The structure is very important. You have to organise all the information into a logical order and put them into different paragraph. This is very important and the examiner will check your structure and your organization. There are 4 main paragraph that you need to use for task 1.
The first paragraph is introduction. It contains a decsription of the graph what it shows. IELTS will always give you a description and you can use that information for your introduction. But don't copy it. That is a mistake. You need to paraphrase it. So writes again using your own english.
The next paragraph after the introduction is the overview. The overview is a very important paragraph. It is often not too long, but it contains all the key feature of the graph or the chart. All main feature you put in your overview after the introduction.
After that you got a body paragraphs. We got body paragraph A and body paragraph B. This is where you put the detail information. So all the dates and the numbers or the comparisons, you can put that in the body paragraph.
So there are the four main paragraphs that you need to use. The overview statement, I know mainly put that after introduction because it is important. I like the examiner to get that information as soon as his start reading after the introduction. It is possible to also put it at the end. But make sure that you have enough time to make it because the overview is very important.
Well that is the structure of your report. If you want more IELTS lesson, just follow me on twitter or instagram. I will see you again in another IELTS lesson. Don't forget to read also about how to using the official answer sheet in writing for IELTS exam. Bye.
