Describe a time when you used a paper map.

You should say:

When you used the map

Where you were

Why you used the paper map

And explain how you felt about the experience

I remember using a paper map a few years ago during a hiking trip in the mountains. I was in Snowdonia National Park in Wales, where mobile signals are unreliable, and using a digital map was not an option. My friends and I brought a detailed paper map of the area, marked with trails, elevations, and landmarks.

We used the map to navigate our way through the hiking trails and find the safest route to our destination. At one point, we got off the marked trail by mistake, and the paper map helped us reorient ourselves and get back on track. It required some effort to read and interpret the symbols and scale, but it was satisfying to figure things out without relying on technology.

The experience made me appreciate the importance of traditional navigation skills. While I initially felt a bit nervous about finding the right path, using the paper map gave me a sense of independence and accomplishment. It was a reminder that sometimes old-fashioned tools can be just as reliable as modern technology.


我记得几年前在一次山区徒步旅行中使用过纸质地图。当时我在威尔士的斯诺多尼亚国家公园,那里手机信号很不稳定,无法使用数字地图。我和朋友们带了一张详细的纸质地图,上面标有小径、海拔和地标。

我们用这张地图来导航,寻找到达目的地的最安全路线。有一次我们不小心偏离了标记的路径,这张纸质地图帮助我们重新找到方向并回到正轨。虽然阅读和理解地图上的符号和比例需要一些努力,但能不依赖科技解决问题让我感到很满足。

这次经历让我意识到传统导航技能的重要性。虽然刚开始我对找到正确的道路有点紧张,但使用纸质地图让我感到一种独立和成就感。这也提醒我,有时候传统工具和现代技术一样可靠。


 Part 3

1. What do people usually do when they get lost?
人们迷路时通常会做什么?

When people get lost, they often try to retrace their steps to familiar landmarks. If they have access to technology, they might use GPS or navigation apps to find their location. Asking for directions from locals or passersby is another common approach. Some people may also look for high ground to get a better view of their surroundings or stay in one place to avoid getting further lost until help arrives.

人们迷路时通常会试着返回他们熟悉的地标。如果他们能使用科技设备,可能会通过GPS或导航应用找到自己的位置。询问当地人或路过的人也是常见的方法。一些人可能会寻找高处以更好地观察周围环境,或者停留在原地以避免越走越远,等待救援。


2. What are the differences between paper and digital maps?

纸质地图和数字地图有什么区别?

Paper maps are physical and don’t rely on batteries or a signal, making them useful in remote areas. They provide a broader view of an area and often include detailed topographical information. However, they can be bulky, harder to read, and less convenient to update. Digital maps, on the other hand, are interactive, easy to carry, and can provide real-time updates like traffic or weather conditions. The main drawback is their dependence on technology, which might fail due to low battery or poor signal.

纸质地图是实物,不依赖电池或信号,因此在偏远地区很有用。它们通常能提供更广泛的区域视图,并包括详细的地形信息。然而,纸质地图比较笨重、不易阅读,也不方便更新。而数字地图是互动式的,携带方便,并且可以提供实时更新,例如交通或天气信息。其主要缺点是依赖科技,可能因电量不足或信号差而无法使用。
