Super-advanced #IELTS Writing Task 1 (Academic) 📊

As a seasoned IELTS instructor, I keep track of recent exams and have seen oodles of tasks. Most look fairly standard, but some look unusual and, therefore, super-interesting. I have created a collection of such tasks and decided to launch a mini-course dedicated exclusively to them.

📝 This course features low-frequency, unusual, and overly complicated tasks:

- Usual-looking tasks with hidden traps and challenges
- Tasks that don’t fall within the standard categories
- Tasks that ask you to compare something other than years or figures
- Tasks that are very rich in data and/or that don’t have discernible patterns
- Tasks that describe how something works (a mechanism description)
- Tasks that require very low-frequency or specific lexis

For example:

- Results of a survey on how to reduce global warming: a task that has no figures or places – only opinions
- A comparison of two types of mountains: tropical and temperate
- How a hot air balloon works
- Building a storage unit using concrete canvas
- A Japanese house

These can befuddle even experienced IELTS writers. But I got your back.

📝 Here is how one class is organized:

- We meet online to discuss the task and possible ways to organize the answer
- We work on some lexis or grammar relevant to the task
- You write in class (!)
- I give detailed, personalized feedback (after class, on Google Docs)
- I share my answer for the task.

📝 Class duration: 60 minutes (40 minutes to prepare, 20 minutes to write)

📝 Course duration: 3 months, 12 classes

📝 Schedule: Thursday, 10 am Moscow time

📝 Place: Zoom, classes meet in real time

📝 Price: 6000 RUB a month (4 classes), feedback included

💃 A little bit about IELTS and me:
- IELTS 9 x2, Writing 8.5 x3
- IELTS teaching experience over 10 years
- A prolific IELTS writer myself, with 200+ answers under my belt.

This mini-course is for advanced IELTS writers – those who have already mastered all the standard tasks. It’s a great addition to any other IELTS writing course you might be taking and a great personal challenge. 🐸
