How to approach Writing Test Part One
&8226;This part tests your ability to write a short report expressing information which you are given in graphic form, such as bar charts, pie charts and graphs.
&8226;Read the instructions carefully so that you know what you are required to do: this is usually to describe or compare the information in the graphic input. Underline the keywords in the instructions.
&8226;Make an outline plan of the report.
&8226;Start with a brief description of what the report is about.
&8226;You can use suitable headings if you wish.
&8226;Try to use a wide range of appropriate vocabulary and grammatical structures.
&8226;You should not invent any information for this part.
&8226;Check that you have written your answer in 120-140 words (multiply the number of lines by the average number of words per line: don't waste time counting every word).
&8226;After writing, read what you have written, correct mistakes and make improvements. If you want to add anything, use a sign, e.g. *. Put a line through anything you want to omit. You should not rewrite your answer.
&8226;Make sure the examiner will be able to read your answer. Use a pen and your normal handwriting (do not write in capital letters).
&8226;You should spend about 20-25 minutes on this part.
