Today, we’ll learn 3 characteristics of your writing that the examiner MUST see in order to consider a high score for your Task 1 essay.
It’s important to note that IELTS Writing Task 1 is a unique animal! It is like no other essay you’ve ever had to write, and it does not mimic anything on other standardized English exams.
Therefore, you need to know what the IELTS examiner is looking for in order to fulfill the criteria for high scores.
Watch and learn candidates!
1. Important numbers only!
- Do not put too many numbers in your essay, or your Task Achievement score drops.
- Only put in the most important numbers. For example, in Change Over Time, you only need to give the beginning, end, highest and lowest numbers for each line.

2. Interesting, unique vocabulary
- Don’t just use vocabulary you got from an IELTS class or in a textbook. That will only give you a 6 for vocab.
- For example, don’t just say, “increase dramatically.” You can say, “grew impressively” or “exhibited a shocking jump.”
3. Clear organization
- You need to organize your numbers into two clear groups.
- Write one body paragraph about each group.
- The key is always the best way to organize the information and decide the groups.
