　　范文：

　　The map illustrates the escape routes in case of fire on the second floor of a university dormitory. There are one lift, two stairways and seven bedrooms on this rectangle shape floor, all with access to the corridor in the center.　 Once the building is on fire, the stairs on the south-west corner is convenient for the students living in the west part of the floor, specifically, Bedroom 1, 2 and 3 to escape through the corridor because Bedroom 1 and 2 are located in the northwest corner and Bedroom 3 is right opposite the stairway. When they rush out of the building, they can meet the others at the Meeting Point 1 outside the stairway. Another stairway which is sited at the north side of floor, with the lift at the west and Bedroom 7 the east, offers another escaping way in case of fire. Bedroom 4, and 6 are on the south side of the corridor but face to this stairway, and Bedroom 5 is at the east side of the floor, next to Bedroom 6, therefore it is also easy for the dwellers in these three rooms to rush out. Once they get out of the building, they would meet at the Meeting Point 2 near the stair room.

　　地图题需要先分析布局特点，找出描述线索。然后分段。每幅图的结构特点不同，因此描述线索也不同。
