Our subscriber MS told us about her IELTS exam in India, where she took the test very recently. Here is what she remembered:
Writing test
Writing task 1 (a report)
The diagram below shows a fire exit plan in a college accommodation.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
* Note: this isn’t the actual diagram given in the test, it was recreated for the purpose of demonstration.
Writing task 2 (an essay)
In the future it may be necessary for us to live on other planets. For this reason, some people believe that we should spend money now to research other planets, such as Mars. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
This is a massive collection on IELTS.
I have never come across an example of a Task 1 like that.
How would you recommend to write a report?
Should I write about how to get to Meeting Point 1 in the first Body Paragraph using vocabulary for describing locations (to the west of, south of, etc), and in the second Body Paragraph I will describe how to get to Meeting Point 2?
Hi Maya! We’ve just added a model answer for this Writing Task 1 – check the post again, there is a link to the Band 8 answer. Hope this helps!
