Describing Information in Tables

This is an IELTS academic Writing Task 1 practice handout that provides learners with a practice of describing information in a table. The data concerns quality of life in various countries around the world. Learners can use this handout as an authentic IELTS practice of summarising, comparing and contrasting data in a table.

1. Copy one handout for each individual student and distribute them.

2. Begin by focusing students' attentions on the task instructions outlined on the card. Introduce the topic of the task and move on to focusing on the data in the table. At this point it is probably worth going through the task advice for candidates below. When the learners feel comfortable with the task demands and how to answer the question, allocate twenty minutes for the learners to do the task.

3. Monitor the students, and when appropriate provide any necessary individual language or vocabulary input. When the time is up, collect the handouts for marking.

4. You can provide feedback to the learners related to the four assessment criteria; grammatical range and accuracy, lexical range and accuracy, cohesion and coherence, and task achievement. It is worth accumulating a range of common errors for feedback in the next session.

5. Return the marked work. Draw the students' attentions to any specific mistakes if any seem prevalent in the activity and offer input.

Task advice for candidates:
1. Study the table and make sure you understand what data it shows.

2. Make sure you understand what the numbers in the table refer to. Analyse what measurements and scales are being used.

3. Don't try to describe everything in detail – there aren't enough words in the task to do so. Look for significant figures amongst the data and key similarities and differences.
