AcademIELTS Original — Writing Test 1 runs a Task 1 bar chart and then a Task 2 opinion (agree/disagree) essay, which means switching registers from analytical neutrality to confident argument inside the same hour. Task 1 asks you to summarise the percentage of adults using four different modes of transport for their daily commute in four cities (Bristol. Task 2 then turns to a discursive prompt: As digital technology becomes increasingly central to modern life, some people argue that children should begin learning computer programming, or coding.
Group the bars by trend rather than reading them left to right: which categories grew, which fell, which stayed flat. Pick two contrasting bars to anchor the comparison paragraph and reserve numerical detail for them, citing units consistently throughout. State a clear thesis in the introduction — partial agreement is acceptable, but the position must be unambiguous.
Budget twenty minutes for the Task 1 report and forty for the Task 2 essay, and resist the temptation to keep polishing Task 1 once your overview and two body paragraphs are in place. On an opinion (agree/disagree) essay, the introduction and conclusion deserve at least seven minutes of focused work between them — they frame the marker's first and last impression of your Coherence and Cohesion.
