地理变迁题

The maps indicates the changes made to the local museum and its surroundings over the past 50 years

According to the first map, the local museum was built on the south-west corner of the site in 1957. The main entrance to the museum was in the Hartford Street. At this point, the building consisted of three sections: a public reading room on the north side, a hall in the south-west corner and a kitchen next to it. The rest of the site was occupied by a garden.

By contrast, the building had been extended northward by 1987. To be specific, the wall between the original hall and the kitchen was removed and the entire building was composed of only two rooms at this time: a large meeting room on the north side and a hall on the south side, whose main entrance was located on Redcliff Street. The garden adjacent to the building remained where it was earlier.

Finally, by 2007, the museum had been remodeled again. The hall and its entrance remained where they were in 1987 but in the north side a theater replaced the meeting room and the building was, at this final stage, nearly twice as long as the original building in 1957. What’s more, the garden was converted into a parking lot

本文写作思路：

本图是近两年小作文最新的趋势，将时间和地图结合形成新型的地理变迁类图形。貌似天翻地覆的变化，实则没变。最合理的写法依旧是以时间为主线分段，用地理方位词将地图中变化的信息加以描述即可。本文采取一个时间对应一段写作。亦可将前两个时间图为一段，后两个时间合并为一段，更显其精辟性。

译文：

这几幅地图展现了一个地区博物馆与其周边在过去的50年里的变化情况。

如图所示，在1957年这个博物馆位于西南方向。入口就在Hartford 大街。在这个点上的建筑是由一个坐落于北面的公共阅读间，一个位于西南方的大厅和一个厨房所组成。而剩下部分则主要是由一个花园所组成。

相对1957年的情况，30年后的此建筑已经在往北扩展。具体来说，在原大厅中间的那扇墙被拆掉并且整栋建筑被调整为只有两个房间：一个大会议室在北面和一个大厅在南面，并且主入口转向了Redcliff 街。花园也依旧保持着和以前相同的位置。

最后，到2007年的时候这个博物馆再次被改建。大厅和出口依旧保持和1987年时一样但是在北面一个剧院替代了原来会议室和建筑物的位置，此外，这时的建筑物几乎达到了1957年时期的两倍那么长。并且，此前的公园最终被改建成了一个停车场。
