Some hosting companies setup extra plugins on your site when you install WordPress; however, this is the general layout of the page.

The Dashboard is made up of five main sections:

  4. Quick Draft
  5. WordPress News

Depending on your WordPress setup, you may also see an "Update" notification, asking you to upgrade to the latest version of WordPress.
