The Diagrams Below Show The Site of A School in 2004 and The Plan For Changes To The School Site in 2024

The diagrams show maps comparing the layout of a school site in 2004 and proposed changes for 2024. The main change involves adding a new school building to accommodate more students, as the student population is expected to increase from 600 to 1000. Other changes include joining the original buildings, constructing a new sports field, adding a second car park, and building a new road.

SAMPLE MAPS

The diagrams below show the site of a school in 2004 and the plan for changes to
the school site in 2024.

(Source: Official IELTS Practice Materials 2)

The two pictures compare the layout of a school as it was in the year 2004 with a
proposed site design for the year 2024.
It is clear that the main change for 2024 involves the addition of a new school building.
The school will then be able to accommodate a considerably larger number of students.
In 2004, there were 600 pupils attending the school, and the two school buildings were
separated by a path running from the main entrance to the sports field. By 2024, it is
expected that there will be 1000 pupils, and a third building will have been constructed.
Furthermore, the plan is to join the two original buildings together, creating a shorter
path that links the buildings only.
As the third building and a second car park will be built on the site of the original sports
field, a new, smaller sports field will need to be laid. A new road will also be built from
the main entrance to the second car park. Finally, no changes will be made to the main
entrance and original car park.
The first picture shows the layout of an art gallery, and the second shows some
proposed changes to the gallery space.
It is clear that significant changes will be made in terms of the use of floor space in the
gallery. There will be a completely new entrance and more space for exhibitions.
At present, visitors enter the gallery through doors which lead into a lobby. However, the
plan is to move the entrance to the Parkinson Court side of the building, and visitors will
walk straight into the exhibition area. In place of the lobby and office areas, which are
shown on the existing plan, the new gallery plan shows an education area and a small
storage area.
The permanent exhibition space in the redeveloped gallery will be about twice as large
as it is now because it will occupy the area that is now used for temporary exhibitions.
There will also be a new room for special exhibitions. This room is shown in red on the
existing plan and is not currently part of the gallery.

The diagrams below show the existing ground floor plan of a house and a proposed
plan for some building work.
The map shows the growth of a village called Chorleywood between 1868 and 1994.
It is clear that the village grew as the transport infrastructure was improved. Four
periods of development are shown on the map, and each of the populated areas is near
to the main roads, the railway or the motorway.
From 1868 to 1883, Chorleywood covered a small area next to one of the main roads.
Chorleywood Park and Golf Course is now located next to this original village area. The
village grew along the main road to the south between 1883 and 1922, and in 1909 a
railway line was built crossing this area from west to east. Chorleywood station is in this
part of the village.
The expansion of Chorleywood continued to the east and west alongside the railway
line until 1970. At that time, a motorway was built to the east of the village, and from
1970 to 1994, further development of the village took place around motorway
intersections with the railway and one of the main roads.

The two maps below show an island, before and after the construction of some tourist facilities.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons
where relevant.
Write at least 150 words
The diagrams illustrate some changes to a small island which has been developed for
tourism.
It is clear that the island has changed considerably with the introduction of tourism, and
six new features can be seen in the second diagram. The main developments are that
the island is accessible and visitors have somewhere to stay.
Looking at the maps in more detail, we can see that small huts have been built to
accommodate visitors to the island. The other physical structures that have been added
are a reception building, in the middle of the island, and a restaurant to the north of the
reception. Before these developments, the island was completely bare apart from a few
trees.
As well as the buildings mentioned above, the new facilities on the island include a pier,
where boats can dock. There is also a short road linking the pier with the reception and
restaurant, and footpaths connect the huts. Finally, there is a designated swimming
area for tourists off a beach on the western tip of the island.
