The writing component of the IELTS test
The IELTS writing test takes one hour. In this time you are required
to complete two tasks:
TASK
ONE is a report based on some graphic information provided
on the question paper. The graphic information will come in one of
five forms. You are required to describe the information or the process
in a report of 150 words. This task should be completed in 20 minutes.
It is important that you are familiar with the language appropriate
to report writing generally and to each of the five types of report.

TASK TWO is an essay based on a topic
given on the question paper. You should write at least 250 words in
40 minutes.
It is important that you keep within the advised time limits as Task
Two carries more weight in your final band score than Task One. Remember
that illegible handwriting will reduce your final score.
