首先：in the first place, to begin with, first of all

然后：in the following stage, afterwards, from then on, after that

同時(shí)：at the same time, meanwhile, simultaneously

最后：in the final stage, at last, finally, eventually

此外，在描寫(xiě)過(guò)程步驟時(shí)，一些恰當(dāng)?shù)膭?dòng)詞是非常重要的，如在對(duì)“the glass bottle recycling”這個(gè)過(guò)程的描寫(xiě)中，一些動(dòng)詞：recycle, transport, grind, flow等都是非常準(zhǔn)確的。

3. 如果要避免流程圖的描寫(xiě)變成流水帳，那么在語(yǔ)言上的一些改寫(xiě)和變化是非常重要的。下面，將為大家介紹兩類常見(jiàn)的句子間銜接的方法：

before, after which, following which, followed by

The glass bottles are sent to a collecting point by customers, after which, they are transported to a cleaning plant.

to do, doing, done, 定語(yǔ)從句

The glass bottles are sent to a collecting point by customers ready to be transported to a cleaning plant.

The glass bottles which are sent to a collecting point by customers are then transported to a cleaning plant.

地理變遷圖Map

相對(duì)流程圖而言，地理變遷圖的難度會(huì)低于流程圖。

難點(diǎn)：

1. 物體太多，不知如何有序描寫(xiě)

2. “建造”這個(gè)動(dòng)詞的多樣表達(dá)

筆者也相應(yīng)的來(lái)一一解答存在于考生中的關(guān)于地理變遷圖的疑問(wèn)。

1. 地圖題的描寫(xiě)思路，可以按照方位順序來(lái)描寫(xiě)其在所給時(shí)間段中的變化，如變多，變少，消失，新建等。考生還需掌握一些方位詞的表達(dá)方法：

in the north, to the north, above the river, on the edge of the garden, at the southwestern corner, along the river bank

2. 在地圖題中，無(wú)疑會(huì)出現(xiàn)很多新出現(xiàn)的建筑，所以考生必須要用很多表示“建造”意思的動(dòng)詞來(lái)對(duì)其描寫(xiě)。

建造：build, construct, establish, set up, can be found

出現(xiàn)：emerge, arise, appear

只要考生在備考時(shí)充分掌握了以上介紹的兩類圖形的應(yīng)對(duì)技巧，以及兩類圖形必備的詞匯和句型，相信考生對(duì)付這兩類題型會(huì)胸有成竹。
