IELTS Academic writing task 1 – Bar Graph
A bar graph (also known as the bar chart) is a graph that contains either horizontal or vertical bars to present data comparison or contrast among categories or variables. In your IELTS Academic task 1, you might get a bar graph that will have numerical values of different variables shown by the length and height of lines or rectangular shapes or equal width. This bar graph will show the quantitative comparison of various data or categories, and you are expected to write a report or summary of the diagram. The following are some of the bar graph examples to make things clear:
In your IELTS test, you are advised to finish your graph writing in 20 minutes. Your graph answer would be assessed based on your ability to:
» Objectively describe the main information presented in the graph.
» Make a comparison and contrast.
» Report main features without the use of personal opinion.

I need somebody who wants to practice IELTS speaking. So if you want to practise, just inform me in my WhatsApp +601128966810.
Most teachers recommend you to write the overview at the end of the introduction. However, you can write it in the conclusion part as well. Do not explicitly write a conclusion like you do in an essay. Also, do not repeat the same overview both in the introduction and conclusion.
In IELTS Academic Writing Task 1, should we write the overview after the introduction or in conclusion? And what about speaking?
I want someone who conducted the IELTS speaking test. I am poor in English so I need to practice with a talented one who is passionate about it. My IMO number is 008801739280996.
