Find the main pattern before the details
WRT-T1-OVERVIEW: an original worksheet for visual patterns and a separate letter-purpose check. Use the right test path; neither activity produces a band.
Practice only; no IELTS scoring.
Last reviewed:
Observable problem
Figures are listed without a main pattern; a letter describes events without stating its purpose.
Why it happens
Detail collection replaces selection. Choose the main contrast for a visual; identify purpose and reader for a letter.
Original micro-drill
Use the separate worksheets below: draft, quote one span, revise. Do not invent causes absent from the table.
New-task transfer and next action
Cover the first draft before the new prompt. Keep both quoted spans for teacher review. Repeating the old answer is rehearsal. No score is produced.
Draft → quote → revise → new prompt
Academic visual worksheet
| Mode | Earlier | Later |
|---|---|---|
| Bus | 40 | 55 |
| Bicycle | 20 | 35 |
| Car | 60 | 30 |
- Draft: describe the overall pattern, not every value.
- Quote: test “all modes increased” against the car row.
- Revise: “Bus and bicycle journeys rose while car journeys fell.” Explain the contrast.
- New prompt: fictional room bookings change from 18 to 12 mornings, 10 to 22 afternoons, and remain 8 evenings. Draft a fresh overview; quote its main claim.
General Training letter stub
- Draft: write to a community centre about an unavailable workshop room. Explain the issue and request action.
- Quote: underline your purpose sentence. “It was inconvenient” leaves the request unclear.
- Revise: state the requested action in a suitable tone.
- New prompt: ask a neighbour to care for a fictional balcony garden. State dates, care needs and contact arrangements. Quote the new purpose sentence; compare tone.
Work in private notes: no submission, storage or score. Visual analysis and letters are separate tasks; neither worksheet is a complete Writing result.
