近年來,非數據類圖表在雅思小作文的考試當中,比例逐漸上升。例如2013年度,地圖題(占全年考試10%)和流程圖(占全年考試6%),這兩項合起來,已經超過餅圖(13%),直抵線圖(17%),這無外乎難倒了眾多小烤鴨。其中,經歷年代變遷的地圖題是較為典型的難點之一。今天,我們以最新《雅思官方指南》中的地圖題為例,為大家介紹一些地理變遷當中的優秀句型,這其實并非模板,讀完你會發現,根據不同的地圖,我們要進行不同程度的修改和有針對性的應用,但是萬變不離其宗,“摩登句型”自有妙用。
請看下面一幅“變遷類”地圖題:
寫作中,第一幅圖為靜態地理位置描寫,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?,F在就是用句型讓他們發揮作用的時刻了,我們一起來精讀一段范文:
In the present-day town, a great deal changed。
分析:主題句,概述這個小鎮經歷了很大的變遷。
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, a roundabout and a zebra crossing have been added, as well as an extra road. Increased traffic means that a car park has now replaced Goode Farmand the fields that are located at the top of the 1700 map。
分析:此段首先采用被動語態,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,描述道路被修繕了,安全島和斑馬線被增建了,時態和句型都有加分。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 were few 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..., now there 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’A further development is the..., which have been...’
