The diagram below shows a town square and surrounding area in 2014 and the plans for development of the area to be completed by 2020. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The diagram shows that by 2000, some significant changes will have been made to both the town square itself and the buildings that surround it.
Presently, it is possible to enter the square from three of the four streets surrounding it. The plan is to make it accessible from all four sides, which will mean knocking down the old administration buildings to create a walkway through. The town hall will remain but all the administration buildings will be provided in the square itself.
At the top of the square, the fish market will be replaced by a new supermarket, and what is now the history museum will be a local artists’ gallery.
The square itself will welcome some new features. The fountain will remain in its central position but the bandstand will be pulled down. In its place will be two large plant beds. A children’s playground will be constructed close to the covered seating areas previously mentioned.
