Gồm hai bản đồ của cùng một vị trí qua hai thời điểm khác nhau
-Hình vẽ có thể về thành phố, văn phòng, ngôi làng, bảo tàng hoặc một cửa
hàng, hiệu sách....nhưng nhìn chung sẽ được chia làm hai nhóm lớn: không
gian kín và không gian mở. Dù nó là không gian gì thì yêu cầu cốt lõi của
task 1 là tóm ra được xu hướng chính và chia xu hướng vào hai đoạn.
2. Cách chia các xu hướng: nhìn vào những thay đổi theo:
accomodation(nhà ở...nhà mới mọc lên hay bị phá dỡ?)
environment(cây cối, công viên, không gian mở, không gian xanh...)
entertainment(rạp chiếu phim)
education(trường học)
security(đồn công an, cảnh sát, phòng cháy chữa cháy..)
shopping facilities(các phố bán hàng)
transportation
Nếu là không gian kín thì chỉ cần nhìn vào hai logic -- change of space và
change of function.
3. Ngôn ngữ miêu tả
-Thì hiện tại hoàn thành hoặc quá khứ hoàn thành
-Thể bị động
-Từ chỉ xây dựng
-Cần bộ giới thiệu về sự thay đổi
