* 地图,选自2021.3.20笔试真题回忆
阅读提示:
* 选择合适的视角写作:1)俯瞰视角(“上帝视角”的常规写法)对应“东南西北”;2)移步换景(“访客”视角)对应的“前后左右”和“东南西北”;3)混合视角。
本题路线不复杂,考虑第2)种视角,新颖且好写。
* 尝试将后一张图比较前一张图写作,而不是依次分开写两图布局。
* 确保写清方位,因此,不建议只用 next to, adjacent to, opposite to等方位模糊的表述。
Shown in the pair of maps is how Bell Hill Farm had been renovated into Environment Centre from 1976 to 2006. Overall, the changes were evident.
In 2006, visitors, after driving northwards along the T-shaped road west to the farm, would no longer find the original warehouse for storing farm machinery but instead park their cars in the parking lot that was situated in the northwest corner. Then, they could wander across the road till the central area of the 2006 centre, where a farmhouse stood still. As the visitors roamed northwards further from the farmhouse, they could unwind themselves in a multimedia room located in the recreation area, [同位语解释] the replacement of the previous farmyard with barns for piling crops like corn. In addition, the area east of the central farmhouse also had experienced a tremendous change. Where there used to be sheds for raising cows and coops for rearing chicken, there featured student housing for accommodation in 2006.
* 不用强调remain unchanged,一些小词副词也能达成写作目的。
* 对比发生变化的部分是该写法的重难点,注意揣摩:如何在一句话中既能描述清楚方位,又能写清两时间点的变化,比较考验语法和句型的使用。
* 注意时态:单纯对于过去时间点的描述——一般过去时;强调两个时间点的对比——过去完成时。
* 注意符合场景的不同“走”的替换表达:wander, roam, stroll
* unwind vi. 放松,松弛:放弃relax这个词吧
* shed n. 养家畜的棚;coop n. 养禽类的笼
* rear vt. 饲养(动物) = raise vt.
* feature vt. 以…为特色
Overall, there had been vast changes in all the facilities except the farmhouse, and the function of the area had been totally converted from a farm to an entertainment centre.
