IELTS Writing Task 1 can be quite challenging since you are expected to understand graphs, charts, or the combination of the two. Combined graph has its own level of difficulty. Take a look at a combined graph below. In many cases of Writing Task 1, we might have different ways of arranging ideas. As I have explained in the previous material, the organization of ideas for body paragraph 1 and 2 is determined by the major trend. Sometimes, there is not much information presented in one part of the graph, and this eventually results in the paragraph being not proportional. Take a look at the first sample writing below.

There is too much information in paragraph 3. The third par...

For instance, one may find it easier to understand a bar graph, a pie chart and a line graph, but face a lot of challenges trying to describe a table. A table could be too complex too understand and this is one thing that we need to anticipate. For today's discussion, we are going to use a simple table. After learning how a simple table is described, we are going to discuss a more complex table later as an exercise. Take a look at a table below. Table Before we start writing anything, I will try to illustrate how a table could easily be read and how we choose some of the most important components to include in our writing. Take a look at an illustration below. Table The first...
Topic: Government is responsible for assuring the safety of its citizens. For this reason, government should increase spending on defense and reduce spending on social benefits. To what extent do you agree with this notion? National security recently becomes a serious issue that some people think that it is necessary to have improvement in terms of national defense. However, improving defense will require considerable amount of funding that the authority may have to cut allocation for other sectors such as the social benefits.
