PENDAHULUAN

Halo teman-teman, hari ini kita akan membahas sedikit tentang Writing Task 1 di TOEFL IBT. Jika kemarin belum membaca materi Writing Task 2 TOEFL IBT, silahkan baca disini

TOEFL IBT WRITING TASK 1

TOEFL Writing Task 1 berlangsung selama kurang lebih 25 menit (tes writing secara keseluruhan berlangsung selama 50 menit dan ada 2 Task). Seperti kebanyakan writing, ada template tersendiri untuk mengerjakan Writing Task 1 ini. Sebelum mempelajari template writingnya, ada baiknya kita pahami dulu proses pengerjaan Writing Task 1.

LANGKAH PENGERJAAN WRITING TASK 1

Well, Task 1 sendiri agak berbeda karena disini kemampuan sobat akan diuji secara penuh. Diuji secara penuh disini maksudnya adalah sobat akan diuji baik dari aspek Listening, Reading, maupun Writing. Prosesnya dapat dijabarkan sebagai berikut:
1. Sobat harus membaca sebuah passage yang panjangnya kira-kira 250-300 kata
2. Sobat akan mendengarkan recording dengan durasi sekitar 2-2.5 menit
3. Sobat akan menulis sebuah essay yang menjelaskan tulisan dan recording sekaligus


Writing Task 1 ini sangat mirip pengerjaanya ketika sobat mengikuti kuliah. Pertama sobat harus membaca materi perkuliahan. Ketika di kelas, sobat harus mendengarkan penjelasan dosen dan sembari mendengar penjelasan tersebut, sobat membuat catatan atau ringkasan materi. That's how you'll this task (in a nutshell).

IELTS Writing Task 1 - Bar Graph (Material, Sample Writing and Exercise)

We have discussed how a line graph is described in the previous post. Today, I would like to discuss another graph commonly used in IELTS Writing Task 1, the bar graph. As I said, I am going to breakdown each graph in IELTS Writing Task 1, and this is the second article that I write. You can read the first article in here , and learn the general structure of writing task 1 in here . Bar Graph Before discussing the bar graph above, let's take a look at the common structure of IELTS Writing Task 1 below: Paragraph 1 - Introduction - Explaining Variables - Explaining Major Trend Paragraph 2 Trend 1 (proportion, lowest/highest point, increase/decrease) Paragraph 3 Trend 2 (proportion, lowest/highest point, increase/decrease) Now, let's discuss how a bar graph should be described step by step.

IELTS Writing Task 1 - Line Graph (Material, Sample Writing and Exercise)

IELTS Writing Task 1 is one of the two writing tasks in IELTS. You will be asked to describe a graph and write at least 150 words. I have written an article on IELTS Writing Task 1 before, as well as some revised versions of that article. But the explanation is way too general. I just explained the writing structure and gave a sample writing.  From now on, I will breakdown that article into several posts that explain how each graph (bar graph, line graph, pie chart, map, process, and combined graphs) is done. There will be a lot of posts following this initial post, because each graph, or the combination of two graphs, may vary in terms of level of difficulty and trend. We are going to start this long discussion by describing a line graph. Take a look at a sample graph below. Line Graph Before describing the line graph, you should remember that writing task 1 structure is described as follows: Paragraph 1 Overview - Giving a general introduction - Explaining the variables - Explaining

IELTS Writing Task 1 - Table (Material, Sample Writing and Exercise)

Today, we are going to discuss how a table is described in IELTS Writing Task 1. Previously, we have discussed three other graphs here , here and here . Although the structure of IELTS Writing Task 1 is pretty much the same, we have to always remember that the difficulty level may be different for each graph. For instance, one may find it easier to understand a bar graph, a pie chart and a line graph, but face a lot of challenges trying to describe a table. A table could be too complex too understand and this is one thing that we need to anticipate. For today's discussion, we are going to use a simple table. After learning how a simple table is described, we are going to discuss a more complex table later as an exercise. Take a look at a table below. Table Before we start writing anything, I will try to illustrate how a table could easily be read and how we choose some of the most important components to include in our writing. Take a look at an illustration below. Table The first
