Hope you find it useful to work on reading comprehension talking about daily routines. Students have to read and then they have to make differences between do and does and finally they have to answer some questions about it. Your students will understand it and will leaarn with this worksheet. 

daily routines

These are a few worksheets for the IELTS Academic writing task 1. There are some Bar chart exercises such as fill in with the correct word and rearrange the paragraphs of the sample answer so that students can familiarize with the task and vocabulary for the writing task. 

There are some tips for each task taken from a valid IELTS practice website as well as answers for the teacher to use at the end of the tasks.

The objective is to practice with the vocabulary needed for writing task 1 of the IELTS Academic before asking the students to write an analysis by themselves. I have used these worksheets several times and I find them quite useful for students who do not have much experience with writing an analysis for a bar chart as they use relevant vocabulary and structures. 

The file was created in word so changes can be made to suit other classes/ students or to remove an exercise.
