If you want to get a 7 or an 8 on your IELTS Writing test<\/a> then you need to use the right prepositions, especially to describe graphs and charts in IELTS Writing Task 1.<\/p>\n

Today get the prepositions and the sentences that the examiner wants to see on this part of the test, especially for Change Over Time questions.<\/a><\/p>\n

Key phrases and prepositions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFrom ____ to ______\u201d (\u201c\u2026.from 1980 to 1990\u201d)<\/p>\n

\u201cBetween ______ and ______\u201d (\u201c\u2026.between 1980 and 1990\u201d)<\/p>\n

Remember, you must show numbers in your essay when you talk about changes.<\/p>\n

For example, you can say \u201cThe population increased from 100 to 300.\u201d<\/p>\n

You can also say how much something changed by.<\/p>\n

For example, you can say \u201cThe population increased by 200.\u201d<\/p>\n

You also need to tell the examiner the highest point and the lowest point.<\/p>\n

For example, \u201cThe population peaked<\/strong> <\/em>at 1 million in 2015.\u201d
\nAnother great vocabulary word is \u201cbottomed out.\u201d<\/p>\n

For example, \u201cThe population bottomed out<\/strong><\/em> at 300,000 in 2014.\u201d<\/p>\n

You need to use interesting phrases, vocabulary, and idioms to get a 7 or higher.<\/p>\n

Sometimes even native speakers can get a 6 in Writing Task 1 because they don\u2019t know that they have to use idioms to describe numbers.<\/p>\n

Now come up with your own example! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Look at a chart or graph in the newspaper and share your phrases to summarize it.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
