In this tutorial, you’ll learn

  • How an IELTS examiner would look at one of the more usual Task 1 questions - MAPS! I love map questions but many students are unfamiliar with them and so might panic in the exam! 
  • How to understand what is needed and what clues to look for before you start writing.
  • Examples of good grammar and key useful vocabulary from our review of 2 students' essays - one Band 6 and one Band 7-7.5 as our examples. 
  • How you can practice by looking at another kind of map question. 
  • Really important vocabulary needed for talking about geographical location and change.
