第一部分：核心词汇与句型 (Vocabulary & Sentence Structures)

1. 方位感：如何描述位置 (Language of Location)

这是地图题的写作基础。没有准确的方位描述，读者就会在你描述的“变化”中迷路。

• 基本方位 (Compass Points):

  • in the north/south/east/west of the area: A forest was located in the north of the island.
  • in the north-eastern part of the town: A new hospital was built in the north-eastern part of the town.
  • to the north/south/east/west of…: The park to the west of the river was removed.
  • the northernmost/southernmost part: The residential area was in the southernmost part of the city.

• 相对位置 (Prepositions of Place):

  1. along: A new railway was built along the coastline. (沿着)
  2. next to / adjacent to / beside: The school was located next to the library. (旁边)
  3. opposite / across from: A supermarket was constructed opposite the post office. (对面)
  4. between: The cafe is situated between the bank and the bookshop. (在…之间)
  5. behind / in front of: The car park behind the station was expanded. (在…后面/前面)
  6. on the… side of: A new road was built on the west side of the river. (在…的…边)
  7. in the centre of: A large fountain was added in the centre of the square. (在…中央)
  8. surrounded by: The main building was surrounded by trees. (被…环绕)
  9. at the intersection of: The bank is located at the intersection of Main Street and Park Avenue. (在…的交叉口)
  10. runs through: A river runs through the town from north to south. (穿过)

2. 变化感：如何描述各种变化 (Language of Change)

这是地图题的灵魂。你需要一个强大的动词库来描述各种具体的变迁。被动语态在这里是你的“超级武器”，因为我们更关心“什么东西被怎么样了”，而不是“谁去做的”。

A. 新增建筑 (Additions - “无中生有”)

1. was built / constructed / erected: A new stadium was constructed in the south.
2. was added: A new car park was added next to the station.
3. was introduced: A new ferry service was introduced.
4. The construction of…: The construction of a new bridge can be seen.
5. …appeared: A number of new houses appeared in the north.

B. 拆除/消失 (Removals - “化为乌有”)

1. was demolished / knocked down / torn down: The old factory was demolished to make way for flats.
2. was removed: The trees were removed.
3. was cleared: The forest was cleared to build a new airport.
4. disappeared: The small fishing port completely disappeared.
5. made way for / gave way to: The farmland gave way to a new golf course.

C. 改造/替换 (Conversions & Replacements - “改头换面”)

1. was converted into…: The school was converted into a museum.
2. was transformed into…: The warehouse was transformed into a modern art gallery.
3. was redeveloped as…: The industrial area was redeveloped as a residential zone.
4. was replaced by…: The cinema was replaced by a large supermarket.
5. was modernized: The old port facilities were modernized.

D. 扩大/缩小/延伸 (Expansions & Reductions)

1. was expanded / enlarged / extended: The car park was expanded to accommodate more vehicles.
2. was narrowed: The main road was narrowed.
3. was pedestrianised: The main shopping street was pedestrianised. (变为步行街)
4. doubled in size: The school doubled in size.
5. was shortened: The railway line was shortened.

E. 位置移动 (Relocation)

1. was relocated to…: The main entrance was relocated to the south side of the building.
2. was moved to…: The bus station was moved to the north of the city centre.

3. 时间感：如何使用时态 (Tense Usage)

• 描述过去 (Map 1 - e.g., 1990): 使用一般过去时。
  • 例句: In 1990, there was a forest in the north.
• 描述现在 (Map 2 - e.g., Today): 使用一般现在时或现在完成时。被动语态是黄金搭档。
  • 例句 (现在完成时被动): The forest has been cleared and replaced by a shopping centre.
  • 例句 (一般现在时): Where the forest used to be, there is now a shopping centre.

第二部分：万能模板 (Universal Template)

地图题的段落划分通常按“区域”来进行，这样最有逻辑性。

---

【段落一：引言 - 改写题目】

The two maps illustrate the principal changes that have taken place / took place in the area of [在此处填入地点名称] between [年份1] and [年份2].

• 备选句式:
  • The maps show the development of the town of [地点名称] from [年份1] to [年份2].

【段落二：概述 - 总结整体变化】

Overall, it is clear that the area has undergone a dramatic transformation, evolving from a largely [用一个词形容过去, e.g., rural / undeveloped / residential] area into a much more [用一个词形容现在, e.g., developed / industrial / modern] one. The most significant changes include the [概括一种主要的新增变化, e.g., addition of new transport infrastructure] and the [概括一种主要的改造或移除变化, e.g., redevelopment of the industrial zone].

• 概述技巧: 用一两句话总结这个地方的“定性”变化。是变“绿”了还是变“秃”了？是更“村”了还是更“城”了？

【段落三：主体段一 - 按区域描述变化 1】

Looking at the [选择一个区域，如：northern part of the town] in more detail, the large area of farmland that existed in [年份1] has been completely redeveloped. For instance, a new [新建筑] has been constructed on this site. To the east of this, the forest has been [变化，如：cleared] to make way for [新事物].

• 技巧: 像一个导游，带领读者看地图的一个角落，把这个角落里发生的所有事情讲清楚。

【段落四：主体段二 - 按区域描述变化 2 + 不变之处】

In the [选择另一个区域，如：southern section], several key changes are also evident. The main road [变化，如：has been extended] further to the east, leading to a new airport. The old school, which was located next to the road, has been [变化，- e.g., converted into a library]. One of the few features to remain unchanged is the [未变化的建筑], which is still in its original location on the west bank of the river.

• 技巧: 继续你的导览，描述地图另一部分的变化。最后，别忘了提一下“不变之处”，这是一个很好的加分点，能体现你观察的全面性。
