I scored an overall 8.5 band score in the IELTS Academic exam. The IELTS exam consists of four modules. The Writing module is divided into Task 1 (3 bands) and Task 2 (6 bands). My scores were:
- Listening - 9
- Reading - 8.5
- Writing - 8
- Speaking - 8
I also graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Canada, where I have been residing for over a decade.

In my Writing Blog, I will be explaining how to attempt the question,
what key points can be included in the main body, and most importantly,
how to write its introduction! I will also be posting solutions to
various graphs and essays from Task 1 and Task 2, respectively.
For the Academic students, Task 1 is a graph and Task 2 is an essay.
However, for the General Training students, Task 1 is a letter while Task 2 is an essay.
You would be getting 60 minutes for the writing module. In these 60
minutes, the ideal time to attempt Task 1 is around 18 minutes, and for
Task 2, it is 35 minutes (a total of 53 minutes). You should use the
remaining 7 minutes for proofreading and corrections.
All the best
TASK 1 - Solved Graphs
