上升：rise/ increase/ climb/ grow/ grew/ rocket/ leap/ surge/ go up/ double/ triple

如，房屋的数量在1860年翻倍了。

The number of homes doubled in 1860.

The year 1860 saw a doubling of the number of homes.

A doubling occurred in the number of homes in 1860.

There was a doubling in the number of homes in 1860.

注意：这个和其他小作文（柱饼线表图）的趋势的写法类似。

农场消失

Farms completely disappeared / was removed

A被改为B

A became B

A was transformed/reconstructed/redeveloped/converted/changed/turned over to/ into B

A was replaced /substituted by B = A gave way to B

建造了新的停车场

A newly-built car park

A new car park was built/established/set up/constructed/completed

这边我们会发现虽然这种小作文有很多自己特点的词汇，但是重点的趋势变化和其他小作文类似，因此两者结合就可以取得不错的分数。

文章

最后就是成文，这就需要将这些好的词句串联起来，也就是加入适当的连接词。

如，在同一幅图中切换

a. While…./ however…..

b. and / in addition

c. in the same year….

在图与图之间切换

a. 80 years later…

b. when it came to the year…

总的来说地理变迁图算是比较好写的一类流程图，当然也是考的最多的一类流程图，因此掌握了上面的几点内容之后，就可以很好的将这个洪水猛兽给降服了。
