Đề bài: The maps below show Hunderstone town at present and a proposed plan for it

Bài viết tham khảo: 

The map gives information about the town of Hunderstone and the future project for it. Overall, we can see that in the proposed plan, there will be more A4 highways built, a new intersection added and the conversion of an airfield into an industrial estate.

Looking at Hunderstone currently, we can see that there is only one highway connecting the city’s only roundabout to the gas station, railway and town centre. Furthermore, the only way to reach the airfield is through going north on the roundabout and reaching the end of the A2. The prospective outline would connect the A2 with a new A4 highway, located south of the gas station; hence, creating another route leading to the railway and town center.

Furthermore, there would be another roundabout added next to the gas station, which would help to better facilitate traffic flowing through the intersection in the middle of the city. Lastly, the airfield would be converted into an industrial estate, connected to the railway by a road leading eastward.

Firstly, it is apparent that the central footpath, which used to be a single curved line, has been made into an intersection which occupies the centre of the present day park. The trees which previously lay northeast of the footpath have been replaced by a seating area, complete with two sets of park benches and a BBQ stove. They are also decorated with smaller trees of pink and green leaves. Meanwhile, the park benches that surround the pond have been moved down, and one of the benches has been removed. The southeast of the park now has a space for football, replacing the old flower beds that had previously occupied it. Finally, the fence that was situated at the end of the footpath has been removed.

The floor plans give information on the changes made to a gallery between 2005 and the present day. Overall, most of the changes are confined to the left side of the floor while the right side remains the same.

The doorsteps of the entrance witnessed an alteration, where a ramp for wheelchair users was added alongside the steps. In the middle of the room, there is now a reception desk which in 2005 had been placed further northwest of the present position, facing the left corner of the room. The current desk is also an oval one, replacing the old rectangular desk. In the upper left corner of the room, a former cafe and shop is now replaced by a gallery shop, with three vending machines installed in front. Meanwhile, an area for temporary exhibitions, as well as an interactive children’s play area, have been built in place of exhibition 4.

Đề bài: The pictures show the layout of a cinema in 1980 and the same cinema now.

Bài viết tham khảo: 

The two maps show how a cinema has developed over the last forty years. Overall, there have been several changes, the most noticeable being the addition of three more cinema rooms and additional facilities as well as the elimination of the back parking lot. 

In 1980, the cinema had two cinema rooms: one on the left hand of the entrance and a second larger cinema in the right corner towards the back of the building. On the right side of the entrance, there was a ticket booth and a drink stand. There were also male and female restrooms in the back left corner of the theatre, and behind the building stood a car park. 

Looking at the present day map, the cinema has expanded into the parking lot in order to make room for additional cinema showing rooms. Three cinema rooms instead of the one room line the right wall. The cinema on the left hand of the entrance has been replaced with a relaxation room. In addition, the drink stand has been moved to the far left corner, and it now serves food. On the right side of the entrance, the ticket booth has stayed in the same location, but instead of the drinks stand now is a DVD shop. The restrooms are still located in the same place as before, but new cinema rooms stand both in front of and behind the toilets.

Đề bài: The plan below shows the village of Pebbleton 20 years ago and now

Bài viết tham khảo: 

The maps illustrate changes that were made to Pebbleton village over a 20-year period. 

Overall, a number of significant modifications have taken place, including the addition of more housing and several new facilities in the area.

20 years ago, Pebbleton consisted of only a few houses at the end of Lighthouse Lane, an old fort next to the lighthouse, and a film studio and playing field along Old Fort Road. Since then, the number of houses at the end of Lighthouse Lane have nearly doubled, while the old film studio has been converted into a block of flats.

New facilities in the area include a children’s playground, in place of the old fort, tennis courts along Lighthouse Lane, and a new community centre located between the houses and playground. In addition to this, a new footbridge has been constructed across the river providing access to the school. Furthermore, it appears that no changes have been made to the school or playing field along Lighthouse Road.
