地图题在雅思小作文写作中可以说考的频次非常低，顶多一年一次而已。尽管如此，我们也不能忘了这方面写作的准备,否则你会觉得它很难而在雅思实际考试中乱了阵脚。

其实,地图题写作并没有你想象的那么难啦。请问，你在生活中有没有"选房"或"选校"的经历呢？有没有想过你"家乡近些年发生的变化"呢？大家都有吧！顺此，我就要再问你了，若有两处房子或两所学校供你选择的话你会考虑哪些因素进行比对呢？你家乡从过去到现在到底发生了哪些具体的变化呢？好好想想吧。一通百通，如你对此相通了，雅思地图题的解题思路也就有了、通了！纵观历次雅思地图题写作，我们不难发现无非就是"两位置方案的二选一"或"某处事物新旧变迁的过程描述"。不管"二选一"还是"过程描述"，请注意，一定不要忘了要结合地图中所体现的"人文与地理环境"进行相互的"比较与对比"且体现"比对结果"；而这里的比对，前者是"横向比对"，强调各自"优缺点比对"，后者则是"纵向比对"，强调"新旧变化"。解题思路有了，那么剩下的是语言上的事情了。在语言上，请你注意以下几个方面：首先，平时要多积累表示"方位、比对、变化"等方面的词汇和句子表达；其次，要注意时态的选择，"二选一"型常用一般现在时态，而"过程描述"型则要视题目而定，往往综合运用一般过去时态、一般现在时态和现在完成时态；最后，要注意语态的把握，要主动与被动相互结合运用，记住适当被动能给考官好印象，但切忌出现人称代词。

请结合笔者上述内容，操练以下经博主改编成的地图题范文选词填空练习，以加强你的雅思地图题写作。（笔者这里特注，题目与范文都来自《剑5》TEST3 中的TASK 1）
