“不知道该写什么！更不知道从何处下笔！”

　　这是被问到地图题困扰时，很多环球学员的普遍回答。

　　没有经过训练的烤鸭们最终只能写出他们眼前见到的所有事物，而不是将事物总结或者在相关联的地方进行比较。（summarize the information and make comparision where relevant）。然而，25%的分数是由任务完成程度（task achievement）决定的。

　　因而，苏州环球教育要杨晓娟老师求学员在小作文的写作中，着重训练自己“present a clear overview of the main trends,differences or stages”的能力。

　　以这道剑桥9 Test1 Task1 题目为例，我们分享一下环球学员是如何在近期考场上应对地图题的：

　　1.Introduction

　　The given maps illustrate the development of an island before and after some tourist amenities have been constructed.(18 words)

　　2.Body 1:（综合概括Present an overview）

　　Before the construction, the island is featured with some natural sceneries, with trees in the far west and roughly middle and a beach on the west side, but there have been dramatic changes after the construction of the facilities. （39words）

　　3.Body 2：（Summarize the information -（Grouping the elements）piers； reception center；restaurant；vehicle tracks + accommodation area；foot path）

　　The most noticeable is that the island could now be accessible through the piers in the south, with the connected vehicle tracks surrounding the reception center and leading north to (向北通往)the restaurant. A further development is the accommodation area, which is locatedon the two sides of the central reception zone andsupported by a network of footpaths. (62 words)

　　4.Body 3：（Summarize the information-(Group the elements）boating;swimming）

　　The diagram also shows some water-related entertaining facilities: obviously, the dock area （港口区域）is open for some boating amenities, and the sea near the beachis available for swimming, which means tourists should make full use of the footpath that leads to the west beach. (45 words)

　　5.Summary

　　Overall, the diagram shows some attractive development of the island featured with some basic services and water-based activities. (18 words)

　　总结信息，即很多个变化特征写在同一个句子/段落里，用于回应考官的要求————group the elements。

　　在第一个黄色高光部分，piers+vehicle tracks + reception centers+ restaurant 被结合在一个句子中，通过，with 结构呈现。

　　第二个黄色高光部分（accommodation area+footpaths）。

　　第三个黄色高光部分（dock areas+boating amenities+swimming）。

　　通过句子有机的整合，考官能够看到学员在Summarize the information 方面做出的努力。

　　上半年的地图题频率来看，暑期结束后的雅思考试热潮必定又有地图题兴风作浪，这个暑假，来苏州环球，更多地图题破解的句型和套路，早已为你备好。
