What's in IELTS Academic Writing Practice Test 4?
This practice test follows the real IELTS Academic Writing format: one data-description task and one opinion essay, completed back-to-back in 60 minutes. Here's exactly what each task covers, so you know what to expect before you start the clock.
Line graph: Renewable energy share by world region, 2010–2023
You're shown a line graph tracking the percentage of electricity generated from renewable sources in five world regions between 2010 and 2023. The task is to summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features of the graph, and to make comparisons between the regions where relevant — in at least 150 words.
Essay: The rise of remote work and the future of the office
This task presents the debate around remote working: some believe that large physical offices will become obsolete, while others argue they remain essential for collaboration and company culture. You're asked to discuss both views and give your own opinion, supported by reasons and examples from your own knowledge or experience — in at least 250 words.
