EPISODE 1

One of the possible questions in IELTS Writing Task 1 is Maps’ description. Usually, there are two maps of the same territory in different periods of time. It can be two maps of an area plan of a city, town or a village in past or present time periods. In this task, you should describe the changes of the territory presented on the maps. Timing The minimum number of words in your description is 150 words. You can write more, but remember that you should spend no more than 20 minutes on this task. So, the preferable size of your piece of writing is approximately 170­ - 190 words.

Structure

A good map description consists of two parts:
● Introduction (1 or 2 sentences with paraphrasing the question)

- short­ overview of the description - Make two general statements about the map. You should describe the maps generally and write about the most noticeable differences between the two maps. You could ask yourself the following questions to identify general changes. Is the map more or less residential? Is there more or less countryside? Are there more or less trees? Were the changes dramatic or negligible? Were there any major improvements in infrastructure? How have the buildings and leisure facilities changed?) ● The main body (with a full description of changes, usually consists of 2 paragraphs)
NB: Remember, you shouldn't write any conclusions, predictions, or your opinion in your report. Describe only the facts.

Sample task Read the sample essay below based on the map above and answer the questions by choosing the correct option.

 

The maps above illustrate the changes in the Indian resort Mali from 2006 to 2016. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

 

 



 

Sample Essay: The given maps demonstrate the most significant changes which took place in the Mali Indian resort, over a decade between 2006 and 2016. All in all, since 2006 Mali has been turned into a much more convenient and luxury holiday destination with well-developed infrastructure and services. The first change that can be noticed is the deforestation of a huge area. A lot of trees have been cut down to the north of the Main Road in the purpose of building a Golf field. Moreover, In 2006 there were only some small bungalows on the other side of the road, but they all have been destroyed and replaced by a great hotel with two big swimming pools in the surroundings. Besides, a new parking place has been organized next to the hotel. Another striking change is that instead of a narrow path that led from bungalows to the beach in 2006, some roads connecting the hotel with the beach and other buildings have been constructed. Furthermore, an old tiny cafe has been knocked down to make way for a huge modern restaurant on the coastline of the resort. A completely new fitness centre has been built to the east of the restaurant, where a sports ground was situated some years ago. It is not only the hotel area that has been completely changed. The coastline has also undergone noticeable transformations. The beach which spreads from the west to east along the resort used to be an empty place without any sorts of equipment or entertainment, except a small boat station. Since 2006, it has been equipped with umbrellas and sun loungers and a bar was opened on the east side of the beach. In addition, setting of an ice­ cream stand near the bar also took place some time ago. A final noticeable change is the reconstruction of the boat station into a marina to the east of the beach.  

EPISODE 2 Present Perfect Passive/ Past Perfect Passive

  2. A completely new fitness centre has been built to the east of the restaurant. Here present perfect passive is used because the time in the past is not important, but we speak about the result of the action.

Tense structure

Present perfect passive is formed by have/has + been +Past Participle of a verb (Verb+ed or the third form of the irregular verb)

Past perfect passive.
