The two maps show an island before and after the construction of some tourist facilities.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main fea- tures, and make comparisons where relevant.



The diagram highlights the changes which took place on an island through the installation of tourist infrastructure.

Overall, the island, which measures 1.5km across, was transformed from an uninhabited and featureless location into a holiday resort with many facilities.

In terms of building developments, one significant change was the construc- tion of two zones of accommodation, which flank a new reception to the east and west. In the western zone, there are a few trees, which had also been present prior to the development. In addition, a restaurant was built to the north of the reception.

Regarding transport, a pier was introduced off the south coast, and a vehicle track was laid to link the main attractions. Specifically, this track connects the pier, the reception, and the restaurant, as well as a newly built western foot- path. This footpath not only links the western accommodation but also leads to the beach, which now offers a swimming area. Although the eastern huts are also connected by a footpath, this is not linked with the vehicle track.

The plans below show the layout of a university’s sports centre now, and how it will look after redevelopment.

The diagrams illustrate the current setup of a university’s sports complex and the way it will appear following a planned expansion.

Overall, the sports centre is set to become an entirely indoor facility since ex- tensions are due to be built to the east and west, which will supplant the cen- tre’s outdoor courts.

At present, the sports facility houses an entrance area with a reception, to the east and west of which are doorways which lead into the seating area and changing rooms respectively. These flank a 25m pool, and north of this is a gym. Outdoor courts lie to the east and west of the building.

After the redevelopment, the entrance area will accommodate a sports shop in its southwestern corner and a cafe in its southeastern corner, and these will back onto new changing rooms. While the western outdoor court will have been replaced by a leisure pool, the eastern court will have been turned into a sports hall west of two new dance studios. Finally, the gym will have been extended eastward toward these dance studios.
