今天新航道名師為大家奉上雅思寫作邂逅地圖題:Take it easy的文章,供大家參考,以下是詳細內容。
地圖題寫作有別于數據圖,構思方面沒有數據圖那么復雜,只需按照方位合理描寫即可;但在語言駕馭,令大家都感到很陌生。所以寫好地圖題的重點在于讀題,我們需要清晰明確的理解所有圖標含義,進而確定寫作思路;而寫作的難點在于怎樣準確表達方位,時態運用和句式的變換。地圖題分兩種,一種為地理變遷題,一種為選址題。
I.寫作思路:
開頭段:簡介地圖內容+總結可能的總體特征(發展)
主體段:按方位順序描述圖表(按照變化或是位置寫),注意方位詞的正確使用和銜接
結尾段:重申總體特征(可省略)
II.分類:
一、地理變遷:
地理變遷題描述的是一個地方(多為一個城鎮)在一段時間的發展變化。
1. 時態
(1)如果地圖題反映的是一個地方在過去的一段時間的變化,文章用一般過去時。
(2)如果地圖題反映的是一個地方在將來一段時間的變化趨勢,文章用一般將來時或表“估計”的詞匯。 Be predicted to do / be expected to do
(3)如果地圖題反映的是一個地方從過去到現在的變化,可用現在完成時。
e.g.
1. 現在停車場改成了一個劇院。
The car park has been removed and replaced by a theatre.
2. 城鎮A的家庭數量從1937年到2020年將翻一番。
The number of homes in Town A is likely to double.
(be likely to = be predicted to / be estimated to/ be projected to/ be expected to )
又可為:
It is likely that the number of homes in Town A will double.
(It is likely that = It is predicted/estimated/projected/ expected that…)
2. 細節變化
地圖每個細節變化都要提到,不要忽視一個細節
3. 語態
地圖題多用被動語態
如: 2000年在城鎮A 新建了一個醫院:A new hospital was established in Town A in 2000.
4. 地圖題的書寫順序
地圖題的書寫順序:時間順序和空間順序
描述一個地區隨著時間年份而產生的變化和發展,我們需要按照時間順序進行描述來展現合理的邏輯順序。另外,對每一年中地區變化的描述,我們要注意按方位順序來描述,否則文章會出現混亂。這就需要我們對方位詞進行總結。值得注意的是,地圖題的方位我們說東西南北,不說成左右。
e.g.
(1)A 在B 的東方/西方/南方/北方
A is / lies / is located / is situated in /on / to the east / west / south / north of B
(in 表A 在B 內部, ON 表A 和B接壤,TO 表A 和B 分開)
(2)A 在B 內部的某個部位
A is in the eastern/ southern/ western/ northern part of B.
(3)A在B 西北部的120 千米處
A lies 120 kilometers to the northwest of B.
(4)A 在B…..角落
A is at /in the south-eastern corner of B ( at 表示A 在B 外部, in表A 在B 內部)
(5)在河流或道路的南邊/北邊等
On the south / southern side of the river
On both sides of the road
On the other side
(6)臨近馬路的地區
The area adjacent to / near / next to/ just off the road
(7)在道路或河流的最南端
At the southern end of the river
(8)A 在B 的對面
A is on the opposite side of B
A is opposite B
(9)A 在B 東部的邊界上(A 在B外部)
A is on the eastern border of B
(10)A 在B 東部邊緣上 (A 在B 內部)
A is on/ along the eastern edge of B
5. “變化”詞匯
地圖題描述的是一個地區的變化,那么“變化”詞匯必須過關。
分析發現,變化包括兩種:圖形原有事物的改變,圖形新添事物。
(1)原有事物的改變:
→原有事物可說成:
The original / previous / former garden
→原有事物尺寸上變大/變小:
The size of the library has been enlarged / extended / halved / reduced by half
→原有事物在數量上增多或減少:
The number of homes has increased / risen / grown /reduced / decreased / dropped / fallen / doubled / tripled / quadrupled to 500.
→原有事物沒了:
The farms completely disappeared / were removed.
→原有事物被改為:
A becomes B
A is transformed / reconstructed / redeveloped / converted / changed / turned over to / into B
A is replaced / substituted by B = A gives way to B
(2)新添事物
A newly-built road
A new car park was built / established / set up / constructed / completed and opened in the middle of B
A new IT centre has been added to the library
例如:
題目:The map below shows the development of the village of Ryemouth between 1995 and present.
Introduction:
This report compares how the village of Ryemouth has developed and changed since the year of 1995.
Body:
As is clearly described in the first picture, Ryemouth was a coastal city which was divided into three parts by two roads. In the southern part, there was a fishing port on the sea, with a fish market located in the north and a coffee shop in the north-east. A block of shops was situated on the opposite side of the market……
In the second picture, the village changed a lot. The fishing port has been removed and the fish market is replaced by apartments. Several restaurants also occupy the place of the shops on the roadside. Moreover, a parking lot is newly built on the east of the hotel. In addition, ……
Conclusion:
Overall, based on the brief description above, it is clear that the general layout of the village does not change a lot, while some newly-built facilities and housing has ornamented the small village.
二、選址題
如劍5 TEST 3 TASK 1 The map shows two possible sites for the supermarket. 為一個城鎮的超市選址, 有兩個位置 S1 和S2 供選擇。
選址題并不難寫,主要注意兩點:
1. 位置描述
2. 優缺點
這篇文章我們BODY段可分兩段,分別陳述:
S1的位置及位置相應的優缺點
S2的位置及位置相應的優缺點
其中表位置的方位詞已在前文有總結
Introduction:
The map illustrates two feasible locations for a new supermarket of the city G.
Body:
S1 lies in the north-west of countryside which is 12km to H. Though s1 is far from B, C and housing, people can still get there by railway and by three main roads. We can establish the parking area and other infrastructure because it has an adequate space.
On the contrary, S2 is located in the south of town center where is rounded by the housing. The other three citizens can arrive there simply by the transportation. So it has a large number of clients. However, there is a serious/deadly problem with no traffic zone. That means there is any transportation in the town center. It is not convenient for people to carry heavy goods.
Conclusion:
Over all, both S1 and S2 are not perfect choice, but S1 offers more advantages than S2 to the population of G.
