I sometimes get confused about different types of visuals. A wide range of vocabulary and strong grammar will definitely help to achieve the required scores. In my opinion, maps are the hardest ones because of the vast amount of information they contain.
how many paragraphs should we write in task 1?
there are many kinds of visuals in Task 1, sometimes it makes me feel confused about what type of graph is or what shoud I focus on to decribe exactly. In order to accomplish the task, the need to use a wide range of vocabulary and grammar is essential such as noun, avdverb,.. or passive voice,.. I think the most difficult type of graphic task is about map due to the wide information be included in the response.
On task 1 from all the various types of visuals I feel like the flow maps, flow charts and diagrams processes would be the most difficult to describe. The grammar and vocabulary required to describe any visual must have the correct technical terms that could change from visual to visual.
I am quite confident about identifying different types of visuals, whereas the describing part is the challenging task.
