The map below shows three proposed sites for a new hypermarket (A, B and C) in the city of Pellington.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The map illustrates 3 potential sites including A, B, and C for a new hypermarket in a city called Pellington.
Overall, the main difference between the proposed sites is that B and C lie in the countryside whereas A is located in the residential area.
The first location (A) has the advantage of proximity to the residential area in the centre of the city and the western industrial zone that have a potentially large number of customers. Moreover, the hypermarket can attract consumers in the northern-west town of Hanford which is only 15 km from there and has a population of 30,000 people. However, a traffic free zone and a park in the centre can be inconvenient for travellers parking cars.
The second plan (B) lies in the countryside to the north-east of the city. It is considerably far from the residential area and 2 industrial zones, even though there is a motorway connecting to the site. The remaining site (C) is situated in the southern countryside, having the advantage of being surrounded by the residential area and the southern industrial zone. Besides, an existing railway connecting the 2 industrial zones passes through the 2 sites A and C. An airport in the southern-west area doesn’t affect the 3 sites.
