You are absolutely right. Many students expect a graph in Task 1 in IELTS writing and then are shocked when they see a flowchart or a process or a cycle.

I will try to follow up on your suggestion. In the meantime, have a look at this page from Abu Dhabi Men's College in the UAE:

I saw you put some tips on graph writing, though they are very useful, I found they are all about the examples and vocabularies of line chart, bar chart and pie chart. You know, there is also flow chart essay in the IELTS writing, and I always find that is very hard for me. So I wonder if you could offer some help in this part. I think some examples will be very helpful.
