QUESTION-1

The The maps below show the center of a small town called Birshire as it is now, and plans
for its development.

comparisons where relevant.

QUESTION-2
The plans below show the layout of a public park in 1990 and in 2020.

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and
make comparisons where relevant.
Model Answer:1
The given maps describe the changes which have been planned for the town of
Birshire.

In summary, Birshire will have undergone a drastic transformation from a rural town
into an urbanized area in the future. New infrastructures like roads, a car park, a
supermarket, and a sports center will have been added.

First and foremost, all the farms from Birshire will have been removed in the days to
come. Griffiths Farm, which is in the top right corner of the map, will have been
replaced by a supermarket, whereas Hoolahan Farm, which is currently on the right
side of McGoldrick Road, will make way for a parking lot. Moreover, the Farmer’s
Market, which is beside Corbie Road, will no longer be there in the future.

Furthermore, apart from the addition of a roundabout at the junction of McGoldrick


Road and That Street, Corbie Road will be extended beyond That Street. The open field
at the bottom right of the map will be the venue for the construction of a Sports Center.
Together with the removal of the shops from the bottom left, more houses will have
been erected.

Model Answer:2
The plans shed light on the changes which had occurred in Central Park between 1990
and 2020.

To summarize, although the basic layout of Central Park was the same, the park had
been modernized over the 30 years with the addition of a museum, a stage, and a cafe.

The entrance to the park had been shifted from the southern side to the eastern side.
The Krishna temple in the northwest of the park, the Buddha statue in the middle, and
the Koi pond in the southeastern corner had remained untouched over the three
decades.

Nevertheless, the flower garden, which was the major feature of the park in the
northern side, had been downsized. Adjacent to it, a stage for programs had been
constructed. The toilet had been relocated from the northeastern corner of the park to
the southwestern corner. In the former place, a museum had been built.

Children’s play area, which was another major attraction in the park in the western
end, had been reduced in size. The telephone booth and one of the shops, both from the
southern side, had been removed. A cafe had been installed in the same area.

IELTS Writing Task 1 Map Tips: Relative clauses

clause which uses relative pronouns like who, which, and that.
Relative clauses can be used to either define a noun or add information about the
noun.
