This book has been written to provide the IELTS student with details on how to prepare and perform effectively on the written Task 1 portion of the IELTS Academic examination.

Task 1 is completely different from Task 2 and will test your ability to present Graphical data in written English. You will find in your training for this section that new lexical resources and writing patterns will need to be adopted.  Structurally speaking, Task 1 is in many ways much  more complicated than Task 2.  Unlike Task 2, which can be performed in four well-organized paragraphs and a set number of sentences, the number of paragraphs your Task 1 response requires will vary according  to the data you are given in your question.  Further, the number of  sentences Within these paragraphs can also vary.  Thus, the training you will receive through this book will show you how to maintain a flexible structure allowing you to accommodate your response to the needs of Task 1 questions on a case-by-case basis.

Although a powerful tool, this ebook should not be the only resource you draw from in preparation for your examination.  It should be remembered that no textbook can replace the value of a routine of practice administered under the guidance of a professional IELTS trainer.

The pages included in this ebook are the result of months of research, drafting, editing, writing and rewriting and reflect the professional skills I have built as an IELTS trainer since 2004.  This ebook is provided at a price to allow fair access to everyone on all budgets.  Please do not bootleg!
