Study Node - Describing how something works:
Describing how something works using information provided in a diagram is one of
the academic Writing Task 1 questions, which occasionally occurs in the IELTS
test.
The diagram may be of a device, appliance, tool, gadget, machine or object such
as a laser, microwave oven, electric drill, iPod, generator or clock/watch.
Regardless of the diagram, how you approach the task and the structure of your
description will be the same.
The attached study notes contain a number of strategies, which are helpful to
follow before you begin writing your description.
IELTS Study Tips:
When writing the introductory paragraph of an academic IELTS Task 1 question,
always paraphrase information from the question and diagram, graph or picture.
Remember to only include in your report information, which is actually provided
in the diagram, graph or picture. So, even if you may know something about the
subject matter or are an expert in the field, external information should not be
used in your description.
