Model Answer
The given maps depict the developments that have taken place in a village park over a period of a decade. It can be seen that radical changes have taken place over a period of 10 years.
10 years ago, the park was fairly simple, with entrance at the north-west corner. The football pitch was there in the centre of the park, towards the north of which were two tennis courts and on the north-west, a car park to accommodate about 20 cars was there. A children’s play area was there on the north-east and towards the south east were some woods and a pond.
The second map shows that the park has undergone great changes in 10 years time. A cycle path has been made all around the periphery of the park. The tennis courts have doubled and the car park has expanded to house about 50 cars. Children’s play area has not changed, but it has a soft children’s play area incorporated in the south. Toilets have been added towards the south of the children’s area. The pond has been converted into a boating lake and the trees have been cut to make a café. A picnic area has been made on the south-west side.
Overall, the total area of the park is the same, but many things have been added and the functionality of the park has improved.
