The two maps below show an island, before and after the construction of some tourist facilities. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.

Sample Answer 1:
The two maps present the development of an island, alongside with the new special organization after some tourist facilities have been built.
At the first glance, it is easy to notice that two groups of cottages have been constructed in the center and to the west of the island, serving as accommodation. Between them, a reception appeared. As compared to the cottages, which were connected through footpaths, the reception has two vehicles tracks, one surrounding the reception and one from north to south. The last one has at the north end a restaurant and at the south end a special designed Pier. Here, boats come ashore.

Finally, at less than 50 metres from the west cottages, a swimming area has been designed. Overall, although not populated in the past, the island faced a significant development with the tourism industry. In the same time, it kept the pam trees population, which were spread through the whole island.

Sample Answer 3:
The maps illustrate the changes to an island after the
development of tourism infrastructure.

It is clear that the island has changed significantly after the
introduction of tourism. Before the development took place there were only some palm trees and a beach, while now there are facilities and attractions available for tourists.

Looking at the second map, the access to the island was made possible through the construction of a pier on the south coast, which is connected to the reception by a vehicle track. This road also links the reception to the restaurant, on the north side of the island, where guests can eat.

Visitors stay in huts located in both the centre and the west side of the island, with each hut connected to others by means of footpaths. Tourists can now enjoy themselves with activities such as swimming at the beach on the west coast and sailing in the south sea.

Sample Answer 2:
The two maps provide the information about the contrast of tourist facilities of an island before and after the construction of some tourist activities.
In the first picture, we can see a small, unspoiled island surrounded by sea on all sides. The length of the land is about 250 meters in length. Some palms are scattered over the west and east of the island. There is a small natural beach on the west side of the land.
The second map indicates how tourism infrastructure has changed the sight of the island. Two huge constructions, a restaurant and a reception, were built in the middle of the island. The accommodation buildings are situated in two circles not far from the reception center. Moreover, the beach on the west side of the island is now used for swimming and can be reached from the western accommodation through the footpath. Furthermore, the vehicle track connects the center of the island with a pier in the south sea of the island where the tourists can go swimming. On the other hand, the east side of the island has not been touched.
Overall, it is clear that significant changes were made in terms of constructing new facilities like accommodation, paths, vehicle roads and a pier.
