Pattern for Writing Task 1 

(Academic and for General module). 

⮚ Always start from the left corner of the page. 

⮚ After successful completion of each paragraph, leave one line blank to state the beginning of the new paragraph. 

⮚ While writing makes sure your word in the next line and in the following sentences should come immediately under it. It should not be in a zigzag manner because you are going to present your masterpiece. 

⮚ Make short and crisp sentences, clear information, and a message should be passed while you write. 

⮚ Use as much vocabulary but make sure that lexical resource should not be out of the box because words like climbing, significant, noticeable, gradual, slight itself describe a meaning while depicting data and similarly in General your intent should be clear while writing a letter and answering all the questions asked in bullets. 

How to frame Task 1 for Academic? 

1. In Academic writing, you can frame a minimum of three paragraphs and a maximum of six paragraphs. 

2. the First paragraph will consist of an introduction and the introduction consists of paraphrasing the  statement which should be of 25 to 30 words. Look at the example below: 

Source: Cambridge English Book 14 

Introduction (we will paraphrase the statement given in the box)-The charts below show the average percentages in typical meals of three types of nutrients, all of which may be unhealthy if eaten too much. 

3. In the second paragraph, we will give the overview of the picture which will consist of 25 to  30 words or we can even club the introduction and overview in one paragraph. 

Overview- The pie charts give nutritional information regarding three types of potentially unhealthy ingredients for different meals. Overall, dinner accounted for the highest levels of salt and saturated fat, whereas snacks accounted for the highest levels of sugar that were added. 

Refer to the pie chart below.

Source: Cambridge English Book 14. 

4. In the third and in fourth paragraphs, we will describe and compare the data and use maximum lexical resources. Use the correct form of tense. Write short sentences and in an active voice. At last, if your word limit extends then you can skip the conclusion otherwise you should write it. Note: Conclusion can only be skipped in Task 1, not in Task 2. 

How to frame Task 1 for General?
