The picture below shows a place in 1980 and after the construction of a hydroelectric dam in 1990. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The given layout shows an area in 1980 and then after construction of a hydroelectric dam in 1990. It is manifest that the area changed radically after the dam was constructed.
In 1980, there was a river flowing from north to south among mountains. On the left side of the river, there was a forest, which was located to the north of some structures of architecture. Some rare plants and animals were there near these structures. On the right side of the river, a large piece of irrigated land was spread along the river, near a village.
In 1990, the place experienced a significant change. Forests were removed and even the structures were removed. The irrigated land was replaced by a hotel, and the villages were shifted to the southeast. A hydroelectric dam was constructed in the south of the river. As a result the river was enlarged and fishing could be done there. Some electrical towers were made towards the south of the dam.
Overall, the place became modern and more functional for the people. However, some biodiversity had to be sacrificed.
