IELTS ACADEMIC WRITING TASK 1
The two plans below show Pancha Village in 2005 and 2015. Write a summary of the information. Select and report the main features, and make comparisons where necessary.
SAMPLE ANSWER
Pancha Village changed markedly from 2005 to 2015. While both sides of its main road were built up in 2005, they were more so a decade later. Only two totally new buildings in the pagoda complex, one in the school, and some stalls in the market had been added by 2015, but redevelopment and technological improvement were noticeable.
What, in 2005, was solely a primary school, was, in 2015, both a primary and a secondary school. The two school buildings that were originally huts were rebuilt in concrete, one new building was constructed, and a flagpole erected in the playground.
Technological improvements in 2015 included: a sealed road with lane markings, a pedestrian crossing, and signage. Poles along the road brought electricity to the village. Two large antennae for mobile communications had been built next to the market, and four houses that formerly had only had TV aerials now boasted satellite dishes. The road had been widened, and there was three vehicles on it.
The only sign of destruction in 2015 was the removal of two houses near the pagoda.
