The two maps below show an island, before and after the construction of some tourist facilities.
Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below. Make comparisons where relevant.
You should write at least 150 words.
The diagrams illustrate some changes to a small island which has been developed for tourism.
It is clear that the island has changed considerably with the introduction of tourism, and six new features can be seen in the second diagram. The main developments are that the island is accessible and visitors have somewhere to stay.
Looking at the maps in more detail, we can see that small huts have been built to accommodate visitors to the island. The other physical structures that have been added are a reception building, in the middle of the island, and a restaurant to the north of the reception. Before these developments, the island was completely bare apart from a few trees.
As well as the buildings mentioned above, the new facilities on the island include a pier, where boats can dock. There is also a short road linking the pier with the reception and restaurant, and footpaths connect the huts. Finally, there is a designated swimming area for tourists off a beach on the western tip of the island.

The maps below illustrate how Frenton changed from 1990 to 2012.
Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below. Make comparisons where relevant.
You should write at least 150 words.
The maps show the developments that have taken place in Frenton over a period of 22 years between 1990 and 2012.
It is clear that Frenton underwent a dramatic transformation over the period, becoming noticeably less green and more built up.
The only places that remained the same in Frenton over the period were the school and the library. The playing fields in the south of the town , for example, were replaced with flats. Secondly, the houses in the west of Frenton were also made larger and factories were constructed on the site. Furthermore, the café and the park east of High Street made way for a hotel and golf course , while the theatre and shops became a cinema and supermarket, respectively.
The bank, located west of High Street and north of the school , was converted into a restaurant and the trees in the southwest of the town were cut down to make way for a technopark. One further development was the expansion of the hospital, located west of the High Street.
