The plans below show the layout of the ground floor of a museum in 1990 and in 2010. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The two plans show that there were a number of small but important changes to the ground floor of a museum between 1990 and 2010. The general design remained the same, with the entrance and stairs in the same place, although the entrance was widened and certain areas were used for different purposes.
The most noticeable alteration was the removal of the Archaeology Gallery. This was replaced with two new areas: a poster display space and a children’s interactive zone. The Natural History and Local History rooms stayed the same size and in the same location, but one wall of the latter was knocked down, making it more open.
The museum office was unchanged but the reception counter was enlarged and moved closer to the entrance. The original gift shop was expanded to include a café. The statue which in 1990 was next to the staircase was moved to the centre of the floor. A lift was added in the space between the Gift Shop and the Natural History Room.
