What is required in task 1 of the IELTS writing exam?
The writing portion of the IELTS exam is 60 minutes in length. The Academic and General portions require the student to complete two tasks referred to as Task 1 and Task 2; however; the tasks themselves differ between the two exams. The first task of the Academic exam asks the student to wr让e a descriptive report based on information given in a picture, table, diagram or graph. Task 1 of the General exam requires students write a letter. Task 2 on both exams requires students compose an essay. Essay questions are very similar between the two exams； however; General test takers may be more personal and less formal in their response. Students are expected to allot 20 minutes to Task 1 and 40 minutes to Task 2 when engaging either exam.
The written Task 1 portion of the Academic IELTS is designed to test your ability to analyze data presented in English and to express this in writing. As these data sources can be quite random, you will need to train yourself to be flexible.
Successful Task 1 responses require the IELTS student to analyze data and digest it into its broad, minor and minute details. The student must then be able to employ sufficiently broad lexical resources to describe these details coherently and with grammatical accuracy. The product of their writing should be cohesive and logical and read with a fluency almost indiscernible from a native English user
Examiners gauge these above skills by weighing a student's performance in four areas - Task Achievement, Coherence and Cohesion, Lexical Resources and Grammar. These four sections tend to be interdependent, thus performing poorly in one often lowers grades in others. In the following section, we will briefly discuss each of these categories and how a student can fulfill them.

Task Achievement
This breadth gauges the depth with which the student is able to reflect the information presented in their data source. Often a good test of whether the student has done this to check if an accurate reproduction of the original data source could be IEUTS Academic Task 1： How to write at a band 9 level
made based on the students writing. The other breadths (Coherence and Cohesion, Lexical Resources and Grammar) are very closely tied to the students Task Achievement mark. Coherence issues, for example, leave the Task Achievement requirements unfulfilled.

Coherence and Cohesion
This section of the mark gauges the students ability to write in a way that expresses a message fluently. Sentence structure, fitting vocabulary choices and grammar contribute to how coherent a students message is. Cohesive phrases help tie ideas together at the sentence and paragraph level and solidify the overall fluency with which the report can be read.

Lexical Resources
This area refers to the accuracy and relevance of the vocabulary a student chooses to employ when describing their data source. Successful students exhibit the ability to use a variety of contextually accurate words and phrases w让hout sounding unnatural or robotic. Word variation accuracy is also a defining trait of a successful student performing at this level.

Grammar
Grammar is often the area that holds students back from the upper IELTS bands. Students scoring band 7 and above are capable of composing grammatically accurate sentences at least 50% of the time. Grammar issues tend to have a cascading effect on student performance in other sections, too. For example, poor grammar can hinder an examiner's ability to understand what the student is writing, which directly impacts the students Coherence mark. Poor coherence in turn lowers the students overall Task Achievement peformance.
