16、 meeting rooms on the eastern side.分析近几年 IELTS Writing 出现过的地图题，我们可以把地图题分为两大类：一类，静态选址题；一类，动态变迁题。静态选址题，这种题型要求考生对建筑物不同地址的利弊进行比较，多数静态选址题是在两个地址之间的比较，多于两个地址之间的比较会出现的较少。例 2：二。静态选址题的解题技巧1.时态解决小作文，我们首要的一个步骤就是明确全文要用的时态。一般而言，静态选址类的题目当中如果没有明确表示过去时间点的标识词，使用一般现在时或是用 would/could/might 等表示假设的虚拟语气形式。2.主体段建议各位考生按照不同的
17、地址来划分主体段，需要比较几处地址就分成几个主体段，然后具体去写每个地址的利与弊。3.开头和结尾静态选址的开头和数据类图型一样改写题目就可以，结尾只需要说明不同地址各自都有优缺点，可以不去选择一个较好的地址。4.重点词汇和句型在地图题当中，考生必须熟练掌握词汇和句型：(1)方位词东 east 东北 north-east西 west 东南 south-east北 north 西北 north-west南 south 西南 north-west(2)坐落/位于A is locatedA is situatedA lies (3)介词的使用A 在 B 内的东部A is located in the

21、south-east)， a potentially large number of shoppers would also be able to7 travel by train。三. 动态变迁题的解题技巧1.时态动态变迁题的开头段改写原题用一般现在时，主体段根据图形来决定。如果题目当中有明确表示过去和现在时间标志的词，我们按照图形使用不同的时态。如图所示，例3: The maps show the changes of a small village from 1995 to present。很显然，在描述第一幅图，有明确的过去时标识词，1995，我们使用一般过去时；在描述第二幅图，存在明
22、确的现在时标识词，present，使用一般现在时。2.主体段落开头段即改写原题，结尾段概括某个地理区域是如何发展变化的。动态选址题通常按照时间顺序划分主体段。题目出现几个年代就分成几个主体段来写，每段写其中一个历史阶段，具体描述两个年代的变化和不同之处。如果有多个年代变化阶段，可以考虑把合并变化阶段来写主体段。3.重点词汇和句型动态变迁题，除了需要掌握上述静态选址题当中表述方位，位置，朝向等重点词汇之外，还需要掌握以下词汇，(1)某处兴建了 AA is built inA is contracted inA is established in(2)某处增建了 AA is added toAn

24、ed 。(6)A 向 方向延长A extends (eastward/westward/southward)4.例文讲解(例 3)开头同数据型图标文章一样，对题目做简单的改写：The maps reveal the alterations of the village of Soton over the period from 1995 to present。主体段首先，我们需要对第一幅图片进行细节的描述。从总体上说，村庄被分成了两部分。按照从南到北的角度，去描述村庄里面具体存在的建筑物。In the first picture8 , the village was divided into9
25、 three parts by two major roads. In the southern part, there was10 a fishing port on the sea, and a fish market, which was near the port, was just located at the south side 11 of the major road. Opposite to12 the market, there was a block of shops sitting on the other side of the road. East of the s
26、hops, a hotel and a cafe were built at the joint 13 of the two major roads. The northwest part14 was basically a residential area, and some of the houses were surrounded by15 a rectangular road. In addition, a farmland of great acreage occupied the northeast corner16 , while a forest park of similar
27、 size was established17 on the south of the farmland。第三段，我们要做的是把“对比”做到极致：两幅图的不同，村庄所发生的变化。每句话做到言之有物，言之有理。考生需要清晰的有条理的指出：消失的建筑物，被替代的建筑物，新建的建筑物等。In the second picture, the village has changed a lot.18The fishing port has gone and the fish market is replaced by19 a block of apartments. Several restaurant
28、s also take up the place of 20 the shops on the road side. Moreover, a car park is newly built21 no the east of the hotel. In addition, the housing area becomes larger and a branch road is built from the rectangular road to the west. Finally, a sports field for tennis and golf occupied22 the place o
29、f previous farmland the forest park。结尾段，考生仅需重申村庄有变化的事实即可。To conclude, these years have witnessed rapid development in the village of Soton。最后，总结一下小作文地图题的写作要点。第一，分清地图题的类型，是静态选址题还是动态变迁题；第二，明确文章使用的时态；第三，有条理的组织主体段的内容；最后，掌握题型的重点词汇和句型，有效的把每个方位，每个地址描述清楚。必须强调的是，地图题的中心思想依然不变，即对比。不论是对比不同的地址优缺点还是对比某地随时间发生的变化。p
