2. Detailed Guide to the Task
Clear advice is given on “Focusing on the Data, Observing Key Points and Structuring the Information”.

3. Annotated Graphic
This highlights what key points need to be dealt with in the response.

4. Model Answer
The writing models are examples of very good responses to the task which would score very highly in the exam.

5. Answer Comments
The detailed notes that follow each response highlight the features of the response that make it excellent.

This book is specifically aimed at those who are serious about their IELTS exams and determined to reach their goal of going on to further academic studies or qualifying for entry to another country.
