General overview: There are two sections in the IELTS academic's writing task, Writing Task 1 and Task 2. These tasks are to be finished in the time duration of 1 hour. For Task 1, the time duration is about 20 minutes and for task 2, 40 minutes 2 respectively.


Types of questions:

In case of IELTS general Task 1 might have an email or a letter to write.

IELTS Task 2 – Email or a letter

In the case of IELTS general and academic Task 2 is common which are essay type questions, in which students will have to agree or disagree with the given statement. They also are supposed to provide their point of view.

We have discussed Task1 for IELTS academic in details in the below-given statements.

Task 1 Academic:
Students are supposed to write at least 150 words. Four key parts of the question are to be identified which are as follow:

Key – Tell exactly what a line, bar or cross represent

Unit – Unit of measurement e.g. Percentage(%), Numbers, Dates, Days, etc.

Category – Represents group e.g. People, Cities, Region, or Institutions

Time – Timeline

The trick is to use the key, unit, and category to describe the graphic. Title of the graph will help you to understand the overall purpose of the graph.

Overall structure: There are 3 parts.

Part	Number of words
Opening statement	15-20
Description of detail	25-30
Description of trends and conclusion	100-120

In the opening statement, paraphrase the first sentence of Task 1. Do not copy and paste exactly. Mention about the timeline as mentioned in the graph (Not to be used in all the questions). Add location if mentioned in the question

In the description of details, students should go in details and describe the topic along with given data properly.

In the final part, students should do the analysis of data by discussing about the trends, discussion about minimum value, the maximum value cross comparison between the trends of different categories etc.

Working rights of an international students in Australia

         

Indian students can work part-time for 40 hours/fortnight along with their studies while they are studying in Australia. During their vacation and semester break, they can work for 40 hours/week. International students studying master's degree by research or PhD degrees can work for unlimited hours in Australia. If you have not worked for 20 hours a week then you can use the number of hours left in the following week.

Tentative wage or pays which you can earn in Australia is 15 to 20 AUD per hour at least while working part-time in Australia. Students can manage their livings expenses with the help of part-time jobs. If students go to Australia in a group and put up with their friends on sharing basis then they can cut down their expenses. Same savings can be used for covering up some part of their living expenses and tuition fees. Students should be very careful regarding working part-time. If they begin work before their classes start, or if they exceed the 20-hour-a-week limit then there is a possibility that student visa may be revoked.

Points worth taking care of after a student gets a part-time job:

These are a few things to make note of after you have secured a job in Australia.

• Never sit down in front of an employer unless you have been asked for the same, as this is a way of paying respect to your employer.
• Don't show signs of tiredness, laziness, sickness, hang-over, etc. Australians frown upon and don't tolerate it. You should always be full of vitality and energy.
• Maintain good hygiene, be clean shaven, smell good, wear clean clothes and comb your hair properly as this makes you look more professional.
• If working around food, clean hands and nails are a must.
• Classes come first over work so students are advised that they should not ignore their studies for work.
• Students can get paid more for working on a Sunday or a holiday, well this totally depends on the employer.

Struggling with English

Having proficient English has its advantages but it is not essential. Those who are still struggling with English have many jobs they can still do. If a student isn't skilled in English then also they can still get jobs like that of washing dishes or cars, picking fruit and vegetables and gardening. But if a student is proficient in English he will have better options for part-time jobs while studying and full-time jobs after completion of studies.

Study Abroad

                                                                 Study Abroad

Many of the students in India have this dream of studying abroad. They generally want to Study in Australia, Study in Canada, Study in UK, Study in USA and many other countries. There are many reasons because of which Indian students like to study abroad. The exposure which a student gets while studying in a foreign country is very nice and valuable. The education system in developed countries like Australia, Canada, USA, UK and New Zealand focuses more on practical learning rather than theoretical learning. In India approach of educators is more of theoretical hence students find it difficult to have a clear understanding of technical fundamentals.

Average salaries in foreign countries are comparatively higher than that in India. Most of the employers in countries like USA, UK, Canada and Australia are equal opportunity providers, hence there is less scope of corruption in such countries.

Universities in UK, USA, Canada and Australia are better ranked. If we go by the global ranking of the universities we can clearly see that most of the top universities in the world are either from the USA or from the UK. Hardly one university from India is in the list of top 200 universities of the world. These rankings are generally given on the basis of researches done in the university, student satisfaction, student employability rate and many other factors. Different universities provide different scholarships to International students which generally ranges from 5% to 100% of the tuition fees of the course, depending upon the merit of the student. While choosing the university and country of the study one thing which any student should consider other than the ranking of the university is the possibility of staying back in that particular country for work. Countries like Australia, Canada, Ireland, Germany and New Zealand give a provision to international students of settling down and also becoming the citizen of their country as they are ok with immigration.

Following is the general procedure which students should follow for making the application to the universities for getting accepted:

- Selecting the country as per the individual requirements. For example, if a student wants to return back to India after getting done with his education, then he should just focus on the higher ranking of the university, irrespective of the location and country. If the student is more interested in staying back in the country of education then they should make sure that they do a proper research regarding the post-study work permit provisions in those countries. They should also enquire properly that whether the course of their choice will help them in getting a permanent residency in the country of their choice or not.

- Once the student has chosen the university and country, they should cross check about the application deadlines for the course of their choice as the same varies with university and intake. The student can also contact overseas education consultants for genuine advise and take their support for applications. The student will have to be careful about scholarship during the time of application itself as scholarships have the deadline too.

- The student needs to prepare for different exams like IELTS, PTE, TOEFL, GRE and GMAT, as per the requirement of the university. For this, they can undergo coaching if needed. The student should work hard on the statement of purpose as the same play an important role in getting selected at the university.

- The student should arrange for the finances with the help of an educational loan or in different forms of savings ( varies from country to country ). Funds should be arranged depending upon the tuition fees and living expenses.

- Once the student receives the offer letter from any university of his choice, further they need to make some payment to the university so that the university can offer th3em the final acceptance letter.

- Further to this student need to prepare their student visa file and apply for same accordingly.

- Once the visa is received student can fly to their destination.
