地图题比其它小作文题型简单，主要有两种类型，一个是选址题，一个是变迁题。只要把两种题型的思路理解透，然后记记模板句，就可以顺利写完。下面是思路和模板句写法，请参考（P代表paragraph, S代表sentence）：

模板句：The provided map presents the + n (potential location of **supermarket/ the layout of public transport system/ the location of ** town).
高级点的写法可以是 The provided map presents where the **supermarket is located/ how the public transportation system is designed/ laid out/ where the **town is situated.
