How to Write Specific Details for Maps

Welcome back.

This here is the final video on how to write the specific details in this video.

We’ll be talking about how to write the specific details for map questions.

So let’s get to it.

Here’s our first practice question.

You’ve seen this question before when we wrote our introduction and the overview in previous videos.

So if you need to read this question prompt then you can simply post a video and read it in your own

time.

So let’s move on to writing the specific details so first we’re going to split our map into two halves

so you can simply talk about the before version in the third paragraph and then you can talk about the

after version in the fourth paragraph.

So let us go ahead and take a look at our third paragraph specifically before the development of tourist

amenities.

The Island remained vacant and unused so here we’re simply describing that before the development of

these tourist facilities the island was vacant and unused.

As you can see there are no facilities or infrastructure here.

Here is our second sentence.

There was a small beach at the western tip of the island with a couple of trees.

About 50 meters to its right so here were saying that there was a beach at the western tip of the island.

Remember the West is on your left hand side.

So we’re saying that this beach was on the western tip of the island with a couple of trees that are

about 50 meters to the right.

So here we’re simply using this scale to measure the distance between the beach and these trees so here

we can estimate that the distance is about 50 meters.

Make sure that you use the word about to maintain accuracy let’s look at our final sentence a few more

trees existed in the eastern region of the map but all other areas remained empty and undeveloped.

So we’re saying that there were a few more trees in the eastern region.

However all the other areas of the map remained vacant and undeveloped.

So now we fully described the before version of the map.

So it’s time to move on to writing the fourth paragraph.

Now we’re going to talk about the after version of the map.

So let’s take a look at our fourth paragraph this island later underwent striking developments which

create a stark contrast between the two versions of the given maps so here we’re saying that this island

underwent striking development meaning that it underwent major developments or significant developments

and these significant developments create a stark contrast we used the word Stark to express that there

are huge differences between the two maps.

They look completely different.

Now let’s move on to our next sentence where no infrastructure existed before the development of tourist

facilities has now led to the construction of several trucks and footpaths leading to accommodation

in the western and central regions of the map so here we’re seeing that in this region where there was

no development before now we can see a lot of development this development of tourist facilities has

led to the construction of several tracks and footpaths.

So here you can see that the tracks and footpaths are shown on this map using these dotted lines.

So here we have the footpaths.

And here we have the tracks we’re also saying that this construction has led to the construction of

accommodation in the western and the central regions of the map.

Now let’s write our final sentence additionally a reception area has been built between the two housing

sectors which leads to a restaurant in the north appear to the south and a swimming area at the western

tip so here we’re seeing that in addition to all this construction the accommodation and the tracks

and the footpaths there has also been a reception area which has been built between the two housing

sectors.

Now we’re also saying that this reception area leads to a restaurant in the north pier in the south.

And it also leads to a swimming area at the western tip.

So now we’ve described all the important changes that have taken place in our map.

So are paragraph four is now complete.

And with that our task one essay for This map question is also complete so that’s all for this video.

We’re now finished with part two of this course.

So now you know all the strategies for constructing each paragraph of your task one essay.

So now you know how to write the introduction how to write the overview and how to write the specific

details in the third and the fourth paragraphs.

Now in part three we’re going to be taking everything that we’ve learned in part one of this course

when we talked about ingredients and in part two of this course in which we talked about the recipe

and we’re going to put it all together in the cooking part or the third part of this course I’m going

to do real exam questions in real time with a 20 minute timer so that you can see exactly how to write

a great essay in the 20 minutes that you are given in your child’s exam and then we’re going to break

down the answers to show you all the different components of a great essay.

So I’ll see you there.
