Dear Liz, thank you very much for this website and all the assistance which you provide to IELTS candidates.
Could you answer one question, please.
What is the probability of receiving a DIAGRAM as a WRT1 in the coming month?
I heard that this type question had been almost completely eliminated from the WRT1 and nowadays chances to get it are pretty slim. However, I would be very grateful if you could give me a hint according to your experience and expertise, whether I should expect such a task or not.
Thank you very much indeed
It is impossible to predict. You need to prepare all types of task 1. The diagram is certainly still used. You can see someone reported one just two days ago: https://ieltsliz.com/recent-ielts-questions-and-topics/ (a flow chart is the same as a diagram). Don’t take a chance with your test results. Prepare fully and don’t cut corners. Here’s a link to practice writing task 1: https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-sample-chart-for-writing-task-1/

how can i improve my writing test .
Read all my posts on the main writing pages of this blog. Go to the red nav bar at the top of the website.
Hai madam,
I have a doubt that,in speaking section can we stat the section by saying “First of all thank u madam for giving me an oppertunity to speak about this topic”
You can if you want but it’s not necessary. The speaking test is informal so you don’t need to use academic linking devices.
hi Liz
can i discuss both sides in the body paragraphs instead of giving opinion in the introduction and conclusion in a “opinion essay?”
The instructions only ask for your opinion. The instructions do not ask you to discuss both sides. You MUST follow the instructions clearly or you will be marked down.
Thank you so much Liz for your training sessions.
Yours was the only blog / youtube channel I studied and referred to.
I scored an 8.5 overall
Listening: 9
Reading: 8.5
Speaking: 8.5
Writing: 7
I have requested a revaluation of my writing test score.
I hope I have done better than a 7!!
Thank you once again.
Well done! You’ve clearly got strong English but don’t forget that technique plays a big role in how you writing is marked. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for 🙂
