The map below is of the village of Thropmore. A new car park is planned for the village. The map shows three possible sites (1, 2 and 3) for the new car park.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The illustration shows the village of Thropmore and three proposed locations for a car park.
The first suggestion is to build a car park within easy access of the train station 3 miles north of the village. One of the main benefits of this is that it would allow villagers the chance to drive their car to the station, park and then travel by train to the next town. This would be environmentally more friendly and save time when commuting or shopping. The second possibility is to construct it by the supermarket which is 10 miles to the west of the village.
This would encourage people to shop more often at the supermarket and probably save money as a result but this would also have an adverse effect on businesses in the village. The final location is by the golf course and 10 miles to the east of the village. This plan could be seen as rather elitist as not everyone plays golf but might be of commercial benefit to some people in the village if tournaments are held here.
