新鲜出炉的雅思考试剑桥真题12相信很多烤鸭们都已经试过手了，而整个真题中的小作文部分是完全可以体现出来2017年雅思考试小作文题型的特点，今年的雅思考试非数据类图表作文（即流程图和地图）比往年都多出许多，国内在上半年雅思考试已经考了两次流程图和四次地图了，以至于很多学生来询问雅思考试地图题"到底"要怎么写。

一、雅思考试剑12地图题真题和范文解析

实际上一直以来，雅思考试地图题的难度并不大，结构相对规矩，和很多数据类图表比起来，其比较和特征都相对更容易把握，那么我们就以剑12里面的地图题为例，分析下它的写法吧。

The maps below show the center of a small town called Islip as it is now, and plans for its development. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

雅思考试范文解析：

The two maps of the center of the towns of Iship give information about the city currently and in the future. Overall, a lot of modifications can be observed during the forecast development.

雅思考试解析1：地图题的首段主要是交代写作目的如比较一个地方不同时间的差别等。简单一句话概括。

First of all, according to the current map the center is close to a countryside. A main road deserves houses, a school, several shops and a park.

雅思考试解析2：纠正一下countryside是不可数，要去掉不定冠词a；第二个错误就是deserve的用法也是有误的。第一张图的信息比较简单，所以这一段简单地进行了总结性的描述，也是为了避免和下文的内容重复，但是这段的内容还可以更为详细一些，补充一些方位的内容。

Looking more closely at the map predicting the future development of the city, a lot of modifications can be observed. The size of the center will increase in an oval shape; therefore the countryside will disappear. Moreover, the single road will be replaced by a bigger dual carriageway. A pedestrian way will deserve the central area. New housed will be built with new facilities such as a bus station and a parking. The shops will be grouped in a shopping mall. The next point is the garden area which will be smaller. As the city will have more people the school will be bigger.

雅思考试解析3：第三段已经开始描述第二幅图，也就是未来的规划图，中心区的规模和形状的变化，路的变化，不同区域分工的变化都表述出来了，而且注意也是要从大到小的去描绘。尽量不要错过任何的细节。

To sum up, between the actual map of Islip town center and the future planned development, a lot of modifications are predicted. On the other hand the park will be reduced and the countryside will disappear. The city will have changed a great deal.

雅思考试解析4：对变化进行了总结，不过有些句子有重复。

这篇文章我们会看到内容上还是有一些单一的地方，有一些句子都出现了重复，比如第一段和第三段的"a lot of modifications can be observed"，又比如第三段和第四段的"the countryside will disappear"都可以换一些句式表达，那么行文上的变化会更加丰富一些。但最大的优势就是没有失去条理性，这是所有考生们在小作文和大作文写作时第一个要注意的事情。

二、雅思考试地图结构总结

1. 开头段：写作目的交代

2. 总览：概况--两图相似之处和大的变化（2点左右）

3. 描述第一张图（往往按照一定方位顺序）

4. 描述第二张图（主要总结和第一张图的对比）
