The IELTS Writing modules test your ability to produce two
quite different pieces of writing in a fairly short period of time. Before
applying to sit the test, you need to decide whether to take the Academic or
the General Training module.
Each module is divided into two parts and you have only one
hour to complete both pieces of writing.
The Writing Task 1 of the IELTS Academic test requires you
to write a summary of at least 150 words in response to a particular graph
(bar, line or pie graph), table, chart, or process (how something works, how
something is done). This task tests your ability to select and report the main
features, to describe and compare data, identify significance and trends in
factual information, or describe a process.
The Writing Task 1 of the General Training test requires you
to write respond to a given problem with a letter requesting information or
explaining a situation. It is suggested that about 20 minutes is spent on Task
1, which requires candidates to write at least 150 words. Depending on the task
suggested, candidates are assessed on their ability to:
- engage in personal correspondence
- elicit and provide general factual information
- express needs, wants, likes and dislikes
- express opinions (views, complaints etc.)
The Writing Task 2 of the IELTS test requires you to write
at least 250 words. You will be presented with a topic and will be tested on
your ability to respond by giving and justifying an opinion, discussing the
topic, summarizing details, outlining problems, identifying possible solutions
and supporting what you write with reasons, arguments and relevant examples
from your own knowledge or experience.
The assessment of Task 2 carries more weight in marking than
Task 1. Writing scripts are marked by trained and certificated IELTS examiners,
who all hold relevant teaching qualifications and are recruited as examiners by
the test centers and approved by British Council or IDP: IELTS Australia
The IELTS Speaking test takes 11-14 minutes and consists of an
interview with an examiner.
The interview is recorded.
