There are three basic things you need to structure an IELTS writing task 1.

2. Give an overview
3. Give the detail

Try to use official cambridge past papers to practice (the chart you've posted is actually a table, see the attached image), in this way you should have more possibility to compare your own work.

Hope this helps
