近年的雅思寫作考試地圖題頻出,這不得不讓大家為雅思考官出題不平衡性的思路而著急,但咱們還是專心備考,YJBYS小編在這給大家介紹一些“地圖題”當中非常優(yōu)秀的句型,本文根據雅思《官方指南》總結。
請看下面一幅地理“變遷類”地圖題:
寫作中,第一幅圖為靜態(tài)地理位置描寫,并不算難;但當描述到第二幅圖的時候,許多同學徒有一些表示“擴建”“縮減”“被替代”的詞匯,卻不知道到底如何寫出高分句子。現在就是用句型讓他們發(fā)揮作用的時刻了,快,我們一起來精讀一段范文吧:
In the present-day town, a great deal changed.
分析:主題句,概述這個小鎮(zhèn)經歷了很大的變遷。
Perhaps the most noticeable change are those relating to transportation. Our modern-day needs are very different and so the roads have been improved and traffic lights, aroundabout and a zebra crossing have been added, as well as an extra road. Increased trafficmeans that a car park has now replaced Goode Farm and the fields that are located at the topof the 1700 map.
分析:此段首先采用被動語態(tài),最顯客觀。分別用‘have been done’的結構,即現在完成時搭配被動語態(tài),一舉通吃,描述道路被修繕了,安全島和斑馬線被增建了,時態(tài)和句型都有加分。其后,一個停車場取代了原來的Goode農場,此處句式進行變化,回歸主動的敘述,A取代B的句型,毫無重復。這一段,我們積累的必備句型為被動式:A have been v-ed (eg. added/removed etc.) 主動式:B have replaced C
Housing is another area where many changes have been made. While in 1700 there werefew houses, now there are rows of houses and a block of flats instead of the stables.
分析:總起“房屋是另一個變化所在”,然后采取時間前后對比描述,’While in XX there were..., nowthere are...’ 一前一后的對比,十分清晰,這同樣可以作為重點句型的積累,但是特別注意描述過去的情況用過去時,描述現在的情況回到一般現在時。
A further development is the supermarket and the hotel, which have been extended.
分析:前面已經用過對比句型,為了避免重復,范文再次為小烤鴨指引航向,一個非限定性定語從句:’..., which has/have been...’的結構,將變化之處再次明確表達出來,讓人眼前一亮。此句可總結為’Afurther development is the..., which have been...’
