The Maps writing format in IELTS Writing Task 1 is a difficult and skill-intensive type of question that requires candidates to write a report of a map of at least 150 words and do it in 20 minutes. Many IELTS test takers are hesitant about this type of question. However, if you practice and prepare carefully, this is a pretty good and interesting test format.
With the tips below, candidates can improve their writing skills and complete the Maps writing format:
- Focus on important details: candidates should focus on the most important details on the map and avoid wasting time describing unimportant details.
- Pay attention to the language used: candidates need to use the language correctly and appropriately in their writing. They should use a rich vocabulary range and clear, easy-to-understand sentences.
- Focus on features regarding the growth and change: candidates should focus on depicting the growth and change of places on the map over a certain period of time. This helps candidates understand more about how a particular place develops and the factors that influence that development.
- Practice regularly: to improve writing skills, candidates need to practice regularly and prepare carefully before taking the IELTS exam.
