雅思写作地图题解答技巧

备考雅思的过程中,雅思写作是大家认为最难的地方。要想提高自己的写作能力,掌握技巧很重要。下面是小编给大家分享的雅思写作解答技巧,大家可以作为参考。

核心词汇

地图中最常涉及到的当然就是表示东南西北四个方向的词汇了,对于这个大家肯定都不陌生,分别是:

east / west / north / south

但是还有另外四个方向的表达是大家容易忽略且在考试中比较没有意识使用的:

northeast / southeast / northwest / southwest

大家需要注意的是这些词汇和我们汉语中的表达有所不同,英文表达这四个方位时是把南北放在前面,而汉语是把东西放在前面。

关于B地点的位置,可以用四种方法来丰富我们的表达:

1、B is locatednortheastofDartford.

2、Bis situated northeast of Dartford.

3、B lies northeast ofDartford.

4、B is tothe northeastof Dartford.

这里大家需要注意的是,第四个句型“to the northeast of …”是指位于某地的东北方向而非位于某地内部的东北方向。如果要表示某地内部的某个方向,应当用介词in。

图例

大家需要注意的是,这里的Key可不是钥匙或答案的意思,而是“索引、图例”之意。在这里我们需要关注两个点:

第一,题目中的图例一般都是给到大写形式,我们在考试的时候写小写字母即可【专有名词和地名除外】;

第二,我们不必对所有图例单词进行同义替换,尽力即可。比如本地图中的图例可以替换为:

house area = residential area

town center = center of the town【在这里有些同学会paraphrase成city center,需要提醒大家的是town和city有很大区别:a town is smaller than a city,在这里不可作为同义替换使用】

railway = road/main road

交通线路

在这幅简化地图中,我们可以说“这条铁路线从Dartford北部一直穿越到南部”。以下是4种常用句式和词汇,真实考试中的线路当然不止一条,这时候我们的同义替换词汇就派上用场啦。

1、The railwayruns throughDartford from north to south.

2、The railway crossesDartford from north to south.

3、The railway passes throughDartford from north to south.

4、The railway goes throughDartford from north to south.

地区人口

关于地区人口的表达,最简单粗暴的方式就是第一个例句:

1、The population of Dartford is 60,000.

但是我们还可以把B的地理位置和Dartford的人口数放在同一个句子中【这种写法特别适合地点和位置较多较复杂的题目】:

2、B is located northeast of Dartford, whichhas a population of 60,000.

大家有没有发现这里用到了我们之前讲到的同义替换句型呢?所以多多积累不同的词汇表达,就能相应地丰富我们的句型了。

段落写作模板

最后我们对此图的关键信息进行整合,就可以写出像下面这样的段落:

A is located inthe center of the town. A railwayruns throughDartford from north to south. B is situated tothe northeast of Dartford just outside the housing area. The population of Dartford is 60, 000.

如果地图题出现较多的地点,我们使用同义替换的词汇去进行相应的改写就可以了。所以总结下来,地图题的写作需要掌握两个要点:

第一,同学们需要积累地图题的常用核心词汇

或词组表达,并熟记于心;

第二,像地图题之类的小作文,必须时刻注意避免重复过多次同一单词或词组,否则容易在lexical resources的评分标准上丢分。

好啦,这就是我们今天讲解的雅思地图题的核心词汇和同义替换的内容,大家掌握了吗?趁热打铁,我们赶紧拿一套题目来练习一下吧!

【滨海村庄】The map below shows the development of a seaside village between 1995 and present.Write a short report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.Write at least 150 words.

【参考范文】

The two maps show the layout of the same seaside village in 1995 and at present.

Overall, it is evident that the infrastructure for housing and recreation has increased at the expense of agricultural land and commercial fishing.

The most notable changes are the disappearance of the fishing port and adjacent fish market, as well as the creation of a golf course and tennis courts in the north-east, where farmland and a forest park were still found in 1995. furthermore, a new housing development containing apartments is now found on the waterfront at the former site of the fish market, and a number of restaurants have been built on the opposite side of the road where shops used to be.

There was also an increase in the total number of houses, from 12 in 1995 to 16 at present. In addition, the road encircling a small housing development west of the main road has been extended further westward.

The hotel and cafe in the south-east have remained as is. A new car park has been added next to the hotel.
