- 10. Title text addition Theuser can demonstrate on a projector or computer, or print the presentation and make it film The line graph compares three capital cities in terms of the number of international conferences hosted between 1980 and 2010. Overall, it is clear that the number of international conferences in City A and City B declined over this period. In contrast, in City C, the number of such conferences saw a rapid increase until the year 2000. In 1980, there were 35 international conferences in City A, compared with 30 in City B. Despite similar fluctuations, these figures then decreased overall, until, in 2005, both cities hosted 27 conferences. By 2010, conferences in City B had overtaken the number in City A, with 26 and 24 international conferences respectively. City C held no international conferences in 1980. However, it was the venue for 20 conferences in 1990, and by the year 2000, this figure had risen dramatically to 35. The number then remained higher than in the other two cities, although it fell slightly to 31 conferences by the end of the period.

Title text addition Theuser can demonstrate on a projector or computer, or print the presentation and make it film IELTS Writing Task 1 sample (Academic): In the modern world it is possible to shop, work and communicate with people via the internet and live without any face-to-face contact with others. Is this a positive or negative development? It is true that in contemporary life people in many parts of the world are able to do their shopping, work and communicate with each other via the internet. In my opinion, while there are clear positive aspects of this trend, there are also negative aspects of having less face-to-face contact with other people. On the one hand, the internet can be very handy in many ways. Many people use it to keep in touch with friends and family, using Facebook, Skype or What’s App to send instant messages or to enjoy a quick chat. Many also use the internet for online shopping, thus saving time and petrol on trips to the supermarket as well as hunting around different sites for bargains. However, it is in terms of work that the internet offers the most potential benefits. More and more people are working or even studying from home, at hours which suit their own schedules. Many hours are saved each week by eliminating the daily commute and the stress of coping with the rush hour.
- 12. Title text addition Theuser can demonstrate on a projector or computer, or print the presentation and make it film On the other hand, as social beings, people need personal contacts. Firstly, virtual friendships which are formed online may not be genuine. The media carries many horror stories of youngsters who have fallen prey to pedophiles, for example. Secondly, online shopping is not always appropriate, depending on the item. It is best, for instance, to try on clothes before buying, and while a bookworm can find almost any book title that they want online, they will certainly miss browsing the shelves of bookstores. Finally, personal interaction with work colleagues can generate ideas and avoid misunderstandings. In conclusion, although there are positive aspects of this trend, there are also aspects of face-to-face contact which it would be a shame to lose.

- 18. Title text addition Theuser can demonstrate on a projector or computer, or print the presentation and make it film IELTS Writing Tips General Task 1 1. Read the prompt very carefully and think about who, what, how. • Who you are writing to will determine your tone – formal or informal; your friend or manager. • What are you writing about – make sure you cover ALL three points in your letter. • How - how do you start and end the letter; what expressions and language to use. 2. Spend 5 minutes to sketch your ideas and plan your writing. • This stage is extremely important – if you have a clear idea of the above points, then you won’t feel stuck or pressed for time. • Use mind maps or bullet points to think of appropriate vocabulary to use. Try to use synonyms to show your variety of vocabulary. • Write down only essential phrases/expressions. Do not waste time writing whole sentences in your planning stage.

Write your answer for about 10 minutes and try not to stop. • While you’re writing, if you get stuck, look back at your ideas. • If you can’t remember a word, think of a synonym or another way to express your ideas. • Try to write neatly but if you need to cross out a section and start over, do not worry too much about it. • Do not count words. If you’ve practiced enough, you should have a clear idea of how much to write to fulfil the minimum word count requirement. 4. Leave 5 minutes to read what you’ve written and correct any mistakes that you spot. This is a very important stage to spot easy mistakes and correct them

Read the essay question carefully and decide on the type of essay – opinion or argumentative; one view or two views (agree/disagree) Essays are usually semi-formal so no informal language and expressions. 2. Plan your ideas carefully • What is the main argument? • How many examples do you need to provide? • How many views do you need to present? • Do you agree or disagree with the main statement. WHY? • What are your supporting arguments for both views. • Don’t forget – do not write full sentences at the planning stage! Just write down your ideas using bullet points/mind maps.

Write your answer for about 30 minutes. See more tips from stage 3 of General Task 1 above. • Pay attention to the structure of the essay: introduction (2-3 sentences), body (2-3 paragraphs), and conclusion (2-3 sentences). Introduction – paraphrase the main argument and give your opinion. Body – you can structure it in different ways but make sure you have paragraphs. Each paragraph should start with a topic sentence which states the argument of the paragraph.Then develop the argument providing supporting ideas. The paragraphs should be linked through cohesive devices and there should be a flow throughout the essay. Conclusion – make sure you have a conclusion! Repeat and re-state the main argument you have written about. 4. Allow time (about 5 minutes) to read what you have written and correct simple mistakes.
