一个地图题的开头：The map about the development of the village sufficiently illustrates the way of progress of this area. In this map, we can find four main sectors and two main roads intersected with one railway and one motor way. It seems the overall development of this village has strong connection with the construction of roads.雅思小作文地图题词汇Part 1：表时间流程图和地图题中都可能涉及时间表达。
流程题中，使用较多的是过程时长的表述，而地图题的时间使用则体现为地理变迁的时间变化。
一般在方位选址图题中较少出现。
确切的时间指引，既增加文章的自然和连贯度，也能体现行文的精确性。
常见表示时间的词：in few hours几小时during the period of …在…期间after 10 days 10天后from…to从…到…between …and在…之间over the…year period在一个…年期间5 years before 5年前a decade earlier几十年前from that moment on从那时起after a while一会since自从since then自从finally最后over the subsequent …years近连续几年例句：The process lasts for up to 7 day s and the products are finally distributed to customers.Part 2：表空间空间表达地图题出现概率较高，但流程图也偶尔出现。
空间应该是地图题解题关键和主要特点。
许多考生容易误把地图题的空间位置写成上下左右位置，这是失分点非常大的地方。
朗阁海外考试研究中心的专家们提示烤鸭，空间表达时需要注意区分：在空间状语里，in表内部，on表接壤，to表分开。
常用的空间词：lies 靠近is located 坐落is situated in 位于across 交叉parallel 平行intersect 交点on the …side of the …面on both sides of 两边just off …靠近on the opposite side 在另一边on the border 在边缘上center/middle/central area 中间near/next to/close to/adjacent to 靠近例句：It lies 450 kilometers from the nearest city, which is on the north side of the KK mountain.Part 3：表顺序表顺序的使用在流程图中是典型，表顺序的关联词能够使描述的流程更加清晰，结构条理明显。
