Writing is not that hard when you have a decent level of English. It is enough to follow a pattern that you see in high-scoring samples.

I'd be careful with 'enough' here. Samples can help with organisation, but the answer still needs accurate information, well-chosen main features and clear language. Following the same paragraph pattern doesn't guarantee that.

When reading a sample, check why each detail was included. Then use a different chart and choose its main features yourself. Copying the grouping only works if the new data actually fits it.

No need to scare people who haven't started their IELTS studies yet. One step at a time is actually "enough".
Following the same paragraph pattern works for 90% of the times. Firing all the details at a student all at once only causes them to be overwhelmed rather than actually knowing what to do.
So, I am repeating myself. For now, reading samples and using those patterns are much better and easier.
