#IELTS Writing Task 1 process overviews: a common mistake ☀️

This mistake emerged when we were talking about this task in particular.

Look at the overview I wrote on purpose to illustrate the mistake. Do you notice it?

"Overall, the process consists of two stages: obtaining water and filtering it. The water is first pumped up with the help of solar-generated energy. It is then purified and is ready to be consumed."

The mistake is: The overview simply repeats the label on the task. We already know all the same information from the introduction.

The overview is supposed to give a summary of the key features of the process. To choose the key features, I personally try to think of this question: How is this process different from other, similar processes?

Also, if you write your introduction at the beginning of the answer -- which most people do -- your overview should extend and logically continue the introduction, not simply repeat it.

So, write your overview -- together with the introduction -- in the comments. ✏️

And do you want me to repeat my epic workshop on writing IELTS overviews? Let me know in the comments as well. ❓
