When to write exact figures
Use exact figures only when they prove highest, lowest, change, or gap. Give the key figures most of the space.
Task 1 bar chart
For a bar chart, group the bars before reporting figures.
A common bar-chart issue is describing each bar from left to right and skipping comparisons of size, category gaps, or time changes.
The more bars there are, the more selective the report should be.
Group by category or size
Highest, lowest, and similar groups often organize the body better than chart order.
The overview should capture gaps
The reader should quickly see which category is largest, smallest, and whether the gap is significant.
What to revise after checking
Label each bar first: highest, lowest, similar, or unusual. Then decide the body groups.
- Whether the report follows chart order mechanically
- Whether size gaps are compared
- Whether main features are selected

Task 1 overview
很多 Task 1 卡分点在 overview：缺失、过泛或主特征抓错。了解 overview 为什么压分，以及下一步该专门练哪个动作。带着原文完成检查，再用重写验证是否真的改善。
Task 1 comparison
IELTS Task 1 comparison 的关键是把相关项目放在一起比较。只按顺序描述每个数字，通常会让 overview 和主特征变弱。
Task 1 data selection
IELTS Academic Task 1 数据选择决定报告是否真正回应图表。学习如何从折线图、柱状图、表格或饼图中识别主趋势、极值、交叉点和关键分组，先写有信息量的 overview，再用有限数据支持比较。结合常见漏选与逐点复述案例，检查自己的报告最该重写总览句、数据句还是段落分组，并验证是否改善。
Task 1 checker
IELTS Task 1 report checker 应先看 overview 是否成立、主特征是否选对、数据是否准确，数字只挑有用的写。
Bar chart vocabulary
IELTS Task 1 bar chart vocabulary 要先表达排名、差距、相似组和异常值，避免把柱图写成数字清单。先圈出最高最低、相似组、最大差距和异常值。
Start practising
Check bar-chart grouping and comparison first.
Submit one Task 1 bar-chart report and find the main issue in overview, grouping, or comparison.
