Have you ever asked yourself why so many students struggle with IELTS Writing Task 1? 

In my years of marking essays and teaching IELTS, I’ve found that most students just like you can improve their chances of success by making one simple change…

Stop overlooking Task 1. 

Many of my former IELTS students have told me that they used to spend ~80% of their writing preparation on Task 2 because “it’s worth more marks”. 

This is a HUGE mistake, as neglecting your Task 1 essay skills can massively damage your overall score.

If you need to get a Band 7+ in the writing exam, you need to be equally skilled at writing BOTH Task 1 and Task 2. Trust me: you don’t want to fail because you didn’t prepare adequately. 

To help those of you taking the Academic IELTS exam, I uploaded this video which goes through my 6-step strategy for any Task 1 question.
