Welcome back. This here is the final video on how to write the specific details. In this video, we'll be talking about how to write the specific details for map questions. So let's get to it. Here's our first practice question. You've seen this question before when we wrote our introduction and the overview in previous videos.
So if you need to read this question prompt, then you can simply pause the video and read it in your own time. So let's move on to writing the specific details. So first, we're going to split our map into two halves. So you can simply talk about the before version in the third paragraph, and then you can talk about the after version in the fourth paragraph. So let's go ahead and take a look at our third paragraph. Specifically, before the development of tourist amenities, the Island remain vacant and unused.
So here, we're simply describing that before the development of these tourist facilities, the island was vacant and unused. As you can see, there are no facilities or infrastructure here. Here is our second sentence. There was a small beach at the western tip of the island with a couple of trees about 50 meters to its right. So here, we're saying that there was a beach at the western tip of the island. Remember, the West is on your left hand side.
So we're saying that this beach was on the western tip of the island with a couple of trees that are about 50 meters to the right. So here, we're simply using this scale to measure the distance between the beach and these trees. so here we can estimate that the distance is about 50 meters, make sure that you use the word about to maintain accuracy. Let's look at our final sentence. A few more trees existed in the eastern region of the map, but all other areas remained empty and undeveloped. So we're saying that there were a few more trees in the eastern region.
However, all the other areas of the map remained vacant and undeveloped. So now, we've fully described the before version of the map, so it's time to move on to writing the fourth paragraph. Now, we're going to talk about the after version of the map. So let's take a look at our fourth paragraph. This island later underwent striking developments, which create a stark contrast between the two versions of the given maps So here, we're saying that this island underwent striking development, meaning that it underwent major developments or significant development. And these significant developments create a stark contrast.
We use the word Stark to express that there are huge differences between the two maps. They look completely different. Now let's move on to our next sentence. Where no infrastructure existed before. The development of tourist facilities has now led to the construction of several trucks and footpaths, leading to accommodation in the western and central regions of the map. So here, we're saying that in this region, where there was no development before, now, we can see a lot of development this development of tourist facilities has led to the construction of several tracks and footpaths.
So here you can see that the trucks and footpaths are shown on this map using these dotted lines. So here we have the footpath. And here we have the tracks. We're also saying that this construction has led to the construction of accommodation in the Western and the central regions of the map. Now let's write our final sentence. Additionally, our reception area has been built between the two housing sectors, which leads to a restaurant in the north, a Pierre to the south and the swimming area at the western tip.
So here we're saying that in addition to all this construction, the accommodation and the tracks and the footpaths, there has also been a reception area which has been built between To housing sectors. Now, we're also saying that this reception area leads to a restaurant in the north, Pierre in the south, and it also leads to a swimming area at the western tip. So now, we've described all the important changes that have taken place in our map. So our paragraph four is now complete. And without our task one essay for this map question is also complete. So that's all for this video.
We're now finished with part two of this course. So now, you know all the strategies for constructing each paragraph of your task one essay. So now you know how to write the introduction, how to write the overview, and how to write the specific details in the third and the fourth paragraphs. Now in part three, we're going to be taking everything that we've learned in part one of this course, when we talked about ingredients. And in part two of this course, in which we talked about the recipe, and we're going to put it all together. In the cooking part, or the third part of this course, I'm going to do real exam questions in real time with a 20 minute timer so that you can see exactly how to write a great essay in the 20 minutes that you are given in your IELTS exam.
And then we're going to break down the answers to show you all the different components of a great essay. So I'll see you there.
