Posted on 16 May 2014 by Ryan

How would you make reference to the age groups in the following Task 1 data source?

For many, referring to age ranges is a challenge. Phrases like “women 16 to 24 years old” and “16 to 24 year old women” are often confused, and this can cost you valuable GRA points on your exam. In the following video, I hope to share a couple of structures that you can apply to your own writing.

Would you like to practice the above structures in your own writing? Post a few samples to The IELTS Network community to receive free feedback.
