Turn the chart type into an overview, data selection, comparisons, and sentence control first. The goal is not memorising one sample; it is knowing what this chart needs most.
Decide which relationship the chart requires first, then choose the figures and language that support the overview.
If the overview does not identify the most changed area and the nature of the transformation, extra location language in the body cannot repair it.
Mark the before and after states, then circle additions, removals, expansions, replacements, relocations, and functional conversions.
Summarise the largest spatial change in one overview sentence, then regroup two detail paragraphs by area or change type.
Listing north, south, next to, or every facility in turn creates a location inventory rather than an account of the overall transformation.
Before writing details, complete one judgement: what was the original main function, what replaced it, and which area changed most. For example, “A village dominated by farmland became a residential area, while the road system expanded eastward.” This is the overview skeleton; it does not need every entrance, tree, or building location.
If the north gains housing, roads, and parking together, keep those connected changes in one paragraph; use the other for southern features that remained, disappeared, or changed use. Another valid grouping is additions and expansions versus removals and replacements. Location language should place selected changes, not decide which details deserve inclusion.
These pages explain the Banfen Writing diagnostic and blocker-repair method, Task 1 overview, Task 2 development, and common score blockers.
After submitting a Task 1 report, inspect the overview, key data, comparisons, and sentence accuracy first, then decide whether to rewrite the overview, data sentences, or linking.
