IELTS Writing · IELTS Task 1
Water Consumption by Sector
The bar chart below shows water consumption in millions of litres across four sectors — agriculture, industry, domestic use, and leisure — in two countries, Australia and Brazil, in 2020. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
IELTS Academic Task 1 is a 150–200 word, ~20-minute description of a chart, graph, table, or process. It is scored on Task Achievement, Coherence & Cohesion, Lexical Resource, and Grammatical Range. The two biggest score-killers: no overview (caps Task Achievement below Band 5) and treating data as opinion (Task 1 describes — it never explains causes or comments).
1. Introduction (paraphrase the question)
~25 words- Paraphrase the prompt in your own words — never copy the question sentence verbatim.
- State what the visual shows (bar chart / line graph / pie chart / table / process) and the time span or range it covers.
e.g. “The line graph illustrates changes in coffee consumption across three countries between 1990 and 2020.”
2. Overview (key trends)
~45 words- The single most important sentence for your score: summarise the 1–2 most striking features — the highest/lowest, the biggest change, the overall trend.
- Stay qualitative here — no specific numbers, just the big picture.
- Useful framing: "Overall, …" / "It is clear that …" / "The most striking feature is …"
e.g. “Overall, while consumption rose in all three countries, the steepest increase occurred in...”
3. Body Paragraph 1 (first set of detail)
~55 words- Describe one logical group of data — the most prominent trend, the highest categories, or the first part of a process.
- Use specific figures and units (22%, 15 million, doubled, halved).
- Vary your comparison language: rose by / fell to / remained stable at / fluctuated around.
4. Body Paragraph 2 (second set of detail)
~55 words- Describe the remaining data — the other categories, countries, or stages — or whatever contrasts with paragraph 1.
- Keep using exact figures; a short comparative remark is fine, but do not explain why.
Common Pitfalls
- Omitting the overview. It links directly to Task Achievement — a missing or vague overview caps your band below 5.
- Explaining causes or giving opinions ("This is because people prefer…"). Task 1 only reports what the visual shows.
Writing Tips
- The overview needs no numbers — just name the biggest feature. Save the exact figures for the body paragraphs so the two jobs stay separate.
- Lexical range in change words is a direct scoring lever: learn 6–8 movement verbs (surge, plummet, climb, dip, level off, fluctuate) and 4–5 degree adverbs (dramatically, steadily, marginally, sharply).
Turns on the first-language analysis — which of your errors are the ones speakers of your language typically make, and why. It's the part of the report people tell us they can't get anywhere else.
