These are model answers for IELTS Academic Task 1, covering line graphs, bar charts, pie charts, tables, maps and process diagrams. Each one reports the data without commenting on it, which is what Task 1 Academic asks for.

Use them the right way round. Read the question, write your own answer, and only then read the model. Reading the model first tells you very little about your own writing, because everything looks obvious once someone has done it.

A model answer shows you the target. If you want to see the gap between a real candidate answer and that target, the band sample answers carry every examiner correction marked on the candidate's own text.

A model answer cannot mark your writing

It shows you what a strong answer looks like. It cannot tell you what is wrong with yours, and that is the information that actually moves a band.

IELTStestONLINE assesses your writing and speaking against the four IELTS criteria, instantly and as often as you like, using a system built by a former IELTS examiner and examiner trainer. It carries no advertising.
