What the chart shows
Two plans of Beechwood Farm, "1950" and "Today", bounded by a river to the west and south and a main road to the north. In 1950 the site had fruit trees, soft fruits and vegetables plots, sheep pasture, and a barn, farmhouse and chickens, linked by tracks. Today the sheep pasture has become parking, a camping field and solar panels; a farm shop and holiday cottages have been added; the tracks have been replaced by roads; the fruit trees, soft fruits, vegetables, barn, farmhouse and chickens remain.
How it is marked
Task Achievement, Coherence and Cohesion, Lexical Resource, and Grammatical Range and Accuracy — the four official IELTS criteria, each with its own band and a written reason. Write at least 150 words.
