“不知道該寫什麼！更不知道從何處下筆！”
這是被問到地圖題困擾時，很多環球學員的普遍回答。
沒有經過訓練的烤鴨們最終只能寫出他們眼前見到的所有事物，而不是將事物總結或者在相關聯的地方進行比較。（summarize the information and make comparision where relevant）。然而，25%的分數是由任務完成程度（task achievement）決定的。
因而，蘇州環球教育要楊曉娟老師求學員在小作文的寫作中，著重訓練自己“present a clear overview of the main trends,differences or stages”的能力。
以這道劍橋9 Test1 Task1 題目為例，我們分享一下環球學員是如何在近期考場上應對地圖題的：
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:（綜合概括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 （港口區域）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)
總結信息，即很多個變化特徵寫在同一個句子/段落裡，用於回應考官的要求————group the elements。
在第一個加粗部分，piers+vehicle tracks + reception centers+ restaurant 被結合在一個句子中，通過，with 結構呈現。
第二個加粗部分（accommodation area+footpaths）。
第三個加粗部分（dock areas+boating amenities+swimming）。
通過句子有機的整合，考官能夠看到學員在Summarize the information 方面做出的努力。
上半年的地圖題頻率來看，暑期結束後的雅思考試熱潮必定又有地圖題興風作良，這個暑假，來蘇州環球，更多地圖題破解的句型和套路，早已為你備好。
