SAMPLE ANSWER
The given diagram compares the map of the ground floor of a library in 2001 and 2009. It can be clearly seen that a lot of changes took place in the ground floor over a period of eight years.
In 2001, the self help and history section occupied the whole left wall, but in 2009 fiction, kitchen, economics and law sections were also added. The fiction section on the back wall of the ground floor, was replaced by the children’s books in front of which the children’s area was made. On the right wall the newspapers and periodicals area was there in 2001. However, in 2009, films and DVDs were placed in front of which computers were placed. The eight smaller tables in 2001 were removed and in place of these four bigger tables were placed.
No changes were made to the entrance, the librarian’s desk and the stairs. The librarian’s desk was right after the entrance and the stairs were in the front right corner in both the years.
Overall, a lot of additions can be seen in the ground floor of the library over a period of eight years.
