In a map report essay, you should use prepositions of place to describe the
locations. A better idea is to use cardinal directions “north” – “south” – “west” –
“east”. Most of the time they are provided on the map, or you can draw your
own compass on the map.
• A + to be + to the north of + B: relative to another location
• A + to be + in the north of + B: relative to the area which contains it

Sample Analysis

Activity 3 Analyze the chart and do the following tasks
The maps show the changes in the village of Wells-on-the-Water in the UK between 1985 and 2010.

Activity 3 a. Discuss and answer the questions below
• Is there more than one map being compared?
• What are the time periods shown?
• Does the map describe the same place or
different places?
• What are the most noticeable differences
between the multiple maps or time periods?
• What parts of the map are the same in both
maps/time periods?
• How can you divide the body paragraphs?

Full sample
The maps reveal developments in the British village of Wells-on-the-Water over a 25-year period. Overall, it is clear
that Wells-on-the-Water developed from a small, agricultural village to a larger and more commercial settlement.
The most notable development was that the forest north of Woods Drive was cleared and replaced with a new
commercial area. A new access road, Queen’s Drive, was constructed which connected Woods Drive to the area north
east of the village. New shops were constructed along both Woods Drive and Queen’s Drive. In the south of the
village, Mansion Lane was extended and a bridge was built allowing access across the river. New houses were
constructed on both sides of Mansion Lane. All of this construction seriously reduced the amount of farmland around
the village. The old farm house and the post office at the western end of Mansion Lane were demolished and replaced
with a park. The post office was relocated to one of the new buildings on Queen’s Drive.
The largest building in the village in both years was the mansion. However, by 2010 it had been converted into a care
home. Likewise, the old factory was converted into luxury flats. Only Mansion Gardens remained unchanged
throughout the period.

Activity 3 b. Read the sample answer, then complete the true/false exercise.
Statements True False
1. The introduction provides the name of the village and the
timeframe of the maps.
2. The second sentence of the introduction provides an overview of
how the village changed.
3. The introduction contains specific details of changes and
locations of buildings.
4. Body paragraph 1 starts off with minor changes that occurred in
the village and moves on to more important changes.

Activity 3 b. Read the sample answer, then complete the true/false exercise.
Statements True False
5. Body paragraph 1 starts with the most important changes that
occurred in the village and then moves on to less important changes.
6. Body paragraph 2 contains the writer’s opinion about why the
changes took place in the village.
7. Body paragraph 2 contains information about buildings which have
not been demolished but have been converted for other purposes.
