    This document provides guidance on organizing body paragraphs for an IELTS writing task 1 essay. It advises writers to group data together where there are patterns, such as similarities and differences. For example, when analyzing a graph that shows consumption of different fast foods over time, pizza and hamburgers could be discussed together in one paragraph since their patterns were similar, while fish and chips would be discussed separately since its pattern was different. A sample body paragraph is provided as an example that focuses only on the data for fish and chips.

    When you give the detail in your body paragraphs in your IELTS writing task 1, you

    must make reference to the data.

    The key to organizing your body paragraphs for an IELTS writing task 1 is to group
    data together where there are patterns.

    To do this you need to identify any similarities and differences.

    Look at the graph – what things are similar and what things are different?

    As we have already identified in the overview, the consumption of fish and chips
    declined over the period, whereas the amount of pizza and hamburgers that were
    eaten increased.

    So it is clear that pizza and hamburgers were following a similar pattern, but fish and
    chips were different. On this basis, you can use these as your ‘groups’, and focus
    one paragraph on fish and chip and the other one on pizza and hamburgers.

    Here is an example of the first paragraph:

    In 1975, the most popular fast food with Australian teenagers was fish and
    chips, being eaten 100 times a year. This was far higher than Pizza and
    hamburgers, which were consumed approximately 5 times a year. However,
    apart from a brief rise again from 1980 to 1985, the consumption of fish and
    chips gradually declined over the 25 year timescale to finish at just under 40.
    As you can see, the focus is on fish and chips. This does not mean you should not
    mention the other two foods, as you should still make comparisons of the data as the
    questions asks.
