Explanatory sample writing
1) Introduction
The two maps illustrate how a village has changed from 1970 up until
now.
(The task is introduced while paraphrasing the given topic to avoid
repetition.)
2) Overview
Overall, there have been significant changes transforming the area into
a modernized region. The village is now more industrial than in the
past.
(The signal word “overall ”
has started the paragraph; two comparative
structures show general changes. Present perfect passive and present simple
are used accurately.)
3) Body paragraph 1
In 1970, the village used to be more natural-looking with a vast forest
in southern parts, which is now partly cut down to be replaced by a
park in the southwest. The river, which runs from the mountain, used
to flow into a large lake, which is now shrunk into a pond. Moreover,
the woods would provide a natural habitat for wildlife, which is now
being pushed away due to deforestation. Another noticeable change is
the campsite around the lake, which is now limited to a day-use picnic
area.
(The paragraph starts with a focus on general changes that happened to the
natural environment. There are a few “relative clauses ”
to provide
advanced structures. There is a smooth transition between the past and
present tenses; passive and active voices are both used flexibly.)
