2. Tần suất dạng đề Writing Task 1

Nhóm xuất hiện nhiều nhất
A. Dạng chart số liệu (chiếm đa số, khoảng 25/32 đề)

C. Dạng process/diagram (ít hơn, khoảng 1/32 đề rõ ràng)
Trong nguồn hiện có, dạng process thấy rõ ở 29.01 về xử lý rác thải sinh hoạt. Dù tần suất thấp hơn maps và charts, nó vẫn nên có một bộ template riêng.
3. Tần suất dạng câu hỏi Writing Task 2
