ACADEMIC WRITING TASK 1
The two maps below show an island, before and after the construction of some tourist facilities. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The maps illustrate how an island has changed following the development of various facilities for visitors.
Overall, there have been significant constructions in the island in terms of accommodation and facilities for tourists. It is noteworthy that these developments have occurred without any noticeable damage to the trees.
The length of the island is over 1200 metres while its width varies from about 200 to 500 metres in different places. The only significant features before the constructions were a beach in the west and a few palm trees in the eastern and western halves, apart from which the island was completely bare.
The beach has now been equipped with swimming facilities, and the western woodland is surrounded by a series of huts which are connected to each other and to the beach via footpaths. There is also a restaurant in the northern part which is connected to a reception building in the middle of the island, as well as a new pier to the south, by means of a vehicle track. Finally, a larger set of huts have been constructed between the reception and the eastern woodland.
