纵观雅思小作文历史,我们不难发现,近几年的地图题以“今夕对比”型为主流,而纵观近期的小作文题型,不难发现复习重点应该集中到表格,饼图(有可能混合)和地图上面,而表格图的写作语言都是“升降”“多少”这类常见的小作文词汇,只有地图题的语言积累并不是很多。官方剑桥系列丛书只在剑9T1中提供了一篇7分的今昔对比类地图题的例文。在此,老师尽最大的努力收集了语言质量较高的例文以及历年考过的类似题型,供雅思考生学习练习。
雅思OG——Test3
The diagrams show West Part School at three different stages in its development: 1950, 1980 and 2010.
In 1950, the school was built close to a main road and next to a number of houses. A large area behind the school was turned into a playground, while the area behind the houses was farmland.
By 1980, the houses had been demolished in order to make way for a small car park and an additional school building, which became the science block. In addition to the existing playground, the school also gained the farmland and converted it into a sports field.
In 2010, the school building remained unchanged but the car park was extended to cover the entire sports field. As a result of this, the original playground was divided into two so that it provided a smaller playground and a small sports field.
During this period, the school has increased in size and a car park has been created and enlarged. The combined recreational areas, however, first expanded and were then reduced in size.
