為了方便各位考生在備考中少走彎路,我結(jié)合地圖題的實(shí)例及學(xué)生習(xí)作講評(píng)為大家總結(jié)攻克地圖題的方法和寫(xiě)作步驟,希望能為各位同學(xué)提供一些借鑒。
雅思寫(xiě)作地圖題總是各位考生在備考雅思寫(xiě)作過(guò)程最為頭疼的一個(gè)題目,在練習(xí)地圖題過(guò)程中很多同學(xué)都反映沒(méi)有思路,不知道該從何入手,并且寫(xiě)完一部分內(nèi)容不知道如何繼續(xù)下一部分,該描述圖中哪些有效信息。為了方便各位考生在備考中少走彎路,我結(jié)合地圖題的實(shí)例及學(xué)生習(xí)作講評(píng)為大家總結(jié)攻克地圖題的方法和寫(xiě)作步驟,希望能為各位同學(xué)提供一些借鑒。
第一個(gè)學(xué)生的寫(xiě)作:
A golf course and park is located in the west of this city, with a river to the south, crossing Branfield from the south-western corner to the north. To the east of the golf course and park is a railway, linking he north-western corner and the south-eastern corner of this city. Situated in the north of Brandfield, a housing estate covers an area between the river and the railway. There is a city center in the middle of this city, located to the south of the railway and divided by the river. It is noticeable that a road is sited between the golf course and park in the west and the city center in the middle, and it goes across the south-eastern corner of the housing estate, connecting the north-eastern corner of this city to the south of the city center and to the south of this city. S1 is located to the north of the city center and the railway, between the road and the river.
這個(gè)學(xué)生的作文主要問(wèn)題是她上來(lái)不斷地描述,而忘記了這個(gè)圖的首要事情是描述S1 和S2. 這個(gè)學(xué)生的問(wèn)題體現(xiàn)了中文和英文的思維差異。也是我們中國(guó)人在寫(xiě)PS,大學(xué)作業(yè),EMAIL,工作報(bào)告,甚至口語(yǔ)交流中的一個(gè)普遍問(wèn)題。
很多學(xué)生寫(xiě)信件一上來(lái)就是不寫(xiě)目的是什么,而是一大堆背景。而寫(xiě)普通圖表就把圖里的數(shù)據(jù)描述的細(xì)致入微,而忘記了主要信息的歸納。這就是為什么很多學(xué)生在考場(chǎng)上寫(xiě)的很爽,但是分?jǐn)?shù)很低。因?yàn)樗麄兪莝elf-centred, 而不是reader-friendly
下面一個(gè)學(xué)生也是這個(gè)問(wèn)題,自己寫(xiě)得很勤奮,兢兢業(yè)業(yè),但是“長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)不知所云”。
The housing estate located in the northern corner of this area with a huge golf course and park to the southwest. Situated in the middle of this area, the City centre is surrounded by two main roads and a railway from northwest to south while a river cross the centre from north to southwest. There is an industrial Estate on the southeastern corner of this area.
It should be noted that the S1 of the shopping mall is to the north of the city center and surrounded by the river, railway and the northern road. In contrast, the S2 located in the south of this city and to the left of the railway and the Industrial Estate.
很多同學(xué)遇到地圖題很亂,為什么?因?yàn)樗麄兲朊枋鏊械臇|西,而不知道從什么地方說(shuō)起。當(dāng)圖上構(gòu)筑物較多時(shí),要一個(gè)一個(gè)地點(diǎn)描述,這是我一直強(qiáng)調(diào)的重點(diǎn)。
譬如說(shuō)s1,我們可以總結(jié)出以下幾點(diǎn): 1靠近housing areas,那里的人可以坐火車(chē)去; 2 CITY centre 的人可以坐火車(chē)或者開(kāi)車(chē)去;3 靠近河,可能景色不錯(cuò)。
S2:1 靠近CITY centre ,人們可以開(kāi)車(chē)或者坐火車(chē)去,但是housing areas太遠(yuǎn)了 2 靠近工業(yè)區(qū),有可能有污染和噪音。
是不是這么一寫(xiě),馬上清楚了? 比大家在那里一個(gè)個(gè)說(shuō)地點(diǎn)好?
下面這是我寫(xiě)的主體部分
S1 is possibly located in the north of Brandfield, lying next to one railway line and one road. This means that this supermarket can be assessed by those living in the residential block to the north and also by the shoppers from the city centre. Another advantage of this site is its proximity to the river that runs from north to south. People may enjoy a good view of the river when shopping.
Similar to S1, S2 is supported by the town’s transport infrastructure, in view of the fact that it is sited between the rainway and the road. The difference is that consumers from the housing area may have to travel a longer distance before reaching this site in the south-north corner. This suggested site is also close to the industrial estate on the eastern edge of the town and pollution is possibly a cause for concern.
當(dāng)然,大家可以將分句合并,而且文字信息不多,主要是平鋪直敘,在考場(chǎng)上拿個(gè)較高的分?jǐn)?shù)也是可以的:
S1 is possibly located in the north of Brandfield, lying next to one railway line and one road. There is a housing area to the south and residents can travel by car or train to visit S1. This site is also accessible for those working or living in the city centre. A river runs across the town to the east of S1.
S2 is in the south-east of the town and close to the railway and the road. Although shoppers from the city centre can reach this site easily, the journey is long for those from the housing estate. To the east of S2 is the industrial zone.
綜上,在遇到地圖題時(shí),各位考生因該表現(xiàn)出比遇到常規(guī)圖更成穩(wěn)的考試狀態(tài),仔細(xì)分析圖上的構(gòu)筑物,找好參照物,按照一定的讀圖順序依次概括圖上的重點(diǎn)信息,切忌描述過(guò)細(xì)亦或加入主觀背景。做到以上幾點(diǎn),相信大家再遇到地圖題的時(shí)候,心里肯定會(huì)對(duì)自己說(shuō):“YES !”。
