Here is a tricky looking task. It consists of 3 maps/diagrams over 3 time periods showing changes that have taken place. It is easier than it looks as long as you logically group the information in paragraphs. Planning is important in IELTS writing task 1 just as it is in the essay section writing task 2.
Spend about 4 minutes planning task 1 as you must analyse the task, think of what comparisons you have to make, the language/grammar needed and also decide on a logical structure. Make sure you include an overview as this is very important for a band 7 or more.
