Study Node - Ordering Adjectives:In both the
Writing and Speaking modules of the IELTS test, it may be necessary to provide
descriptions of people, places and things. This is an important skill in
communication.
To write good descriptions, it is necessary to organize the descriptions
logically, and to provide specific details. The attached study notes focus on
the order in which you would need to place adjectives before a noun when
describing someone or something.
In formal academic writing remember to limit your descriptions to two or three
adjectives. In a literary or poetic style of writing, it is more acceptable to
use longer strings of adjectives.
IELTS Study Tips:
In IELTS Writing Task 1, it is important to use adjectives to describe the
kind of changes and/or trends found in graphs, tables or charts.
Adjectives are equally important in IELTS Writing Task 2 and the Speaking test,
when describing persons, places or things. You can present a broad range of
vocabulary discussing the various IELTS topics such as the environment,
education, society, etc.
