STRATEGY FOR DESCRIBING A MAP
• PICK A SIDE OF THE TOWN.
• DIVIDE THE TOWN INTO TWO PARTS, THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH OR THE EAST
AND THE WEST.
• FIND THE WAY TO DIVIDE THE TOWN.
• ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE RIVER, IN THE NORTH, TREES WERE CUT
DOWN/CHOPPED DOWN AND REPLACED BY A STADIUM BY 2010.
• IN THE SOUTH, AN APARTMENT BUILDING/COMPLEX WAS CONSTRUCTED
BETWEEN SOME PRIVATE HOMES AND THE RIVER.
• LOOKING AT/TO THE EAST, A HOTEL WAS BUILT/ERECTED
IN THE NORTH, ALONG THE RIVER. (TO THE) EAST OF THIS,
AN INDUSTRIAL AREA/ZONE WAS DEMOLISHED AND
REPLACED BY / MADE WAY FOR / MADE WAY FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF / TRANSFORMED INTO / CONVERTED
INTO A GOLF COURSE. IN THE CENTER/CENTRAL AREA, AN
AIRPORT WAS ESTABLISHED. JUST TO THE WEST OF THE
LAKE, BY 2010, A RESIDENTIAL AREA WAS DEVELOPED
• “TO THE NORTH OF THIS/NEXT TO THE RAILWAY STATION,
THE RESIDENTIAL AREA WAS TRANSFORMED INTO AN
INDUSTRIAL AREA.”
• ONLY USE TRANSFORMED INTO AND CONVERTED INTO
FOR AN AREA.
• THE APARTMENT WAS TRANSFORMED INTO THE
FACTORY.
• THE TREES WERE TRANSFORMED INTO THE
AIRPORT.
• THE PARK WAS TRANSFORMED INTO THE
AIRPORT (BECAUSE A PARK IS AN AREA OF LAND)
• WE CAN TRANSFORM A RURAL AREA INTO AN URBAN AREA.
• THE NEIGHBORHOOD WAS TRANSFORMED COMPLETELY.
• THE OLD HOUSES WERE REBUILT.
• VERY FEW TREES REMAINED.
• TREES WERE CHOPPED DOWN/ UPROOTED/ CLEARED/
CLEARED AWAY.
• THE AREA WAS REMOVED, BUT REMAINED VACANT/
REMAINED UNDEVELOPED.
ARTICLE

• WE USE “A” FOR NEW, AND “THE” FOR OLD


• EX: IN THE SOUTH, THE RESIDENTIAL AREA WAS
REPLACED BY A WAREHOUSE (IT’S NEW).
• IN THE NORTH, THE RESIDENTIAL AREA WAS
REMOVED TO MAKE WAY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT
OF A STADIUM (IT’S NEW).
ARTICLE

• DON’T SAY “THE LEFT/RIGHT SIDE OF TOWN”. BUT


IT’S OK TO SAY “ON THE LEFT/RIGHT SIDE OF THE
MAP”
PRACTICE
• THE MAPS ILLUSTRATE THE DEVELOPMENTS WHICH
TOOK PLACE IN THE COASTAL TOWN OF YOUNGSVILLE
BETWEEN 1980 AND 2005.
• OVERALL, A COMPARISON OF THE TWO MAPS REVEALS
A COMPLETE TRANSFORMATION FROM A LARGELY
RURAL TO A MAINLY URBAN AREA.
• IN THE YEAR 1980, THE TOWN WAS A MUCH GREENER
RESIDENTIAL AREA WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF TREES
AND INDIVIDUAL HOUSES, BUT DURING THE NEXT 25
YEARS, THE TOWN SAW A NUMBER OF SIGNIFICANT
CHANGES. THE MOST NOTICEABLE IS THAT ALL OF
THE TREES IN THE SOUTH OF THE RIVER ALANAH
WERE CHOPPED DOWN, WITH ALL THE HOUSES
ALONG THE RAILWAY LINE BEING DEMOLISHED TO
MAKE WAY FOR SKYSCRAPERS. MOREOVER, A NEW
INDUSTRIAL ZONE WITH WAREHOUSES AND
FACTORIES SPRANG UP AROUND THE SCHOOL AND
AIRPORT.
• IN CONTRAST, ONLY A FEW TREES IN THE
NORTH OF THE RIVER REMAINED. THE
WOODLAND WAS CLEARED AND CONVERTED
INTO A GOLF COURSE, A PARK, AND CAR
PARTING FACILITIES. FURTHER
DEVELOPMENTS WERE THE CONSTRUCTION OF
A STADIUM NEXT TO THE NORTHEAST CORNER
OF THE LAKE AND THE EXTENSION OF THE
RAILWAY LINE FROM THE RIVER RUNNING
DIRECTLY TO THE NORTH. A MARINA WAS ALSO
CONSTRUCTED AT THE MOUTH OF THE RIVER.
TEST 4 (CAMBRIDGE 14)
