Test 1: The diagram below shows the floor plan of a public library 20 years ago and how it looks now. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.

The given picture depicts the floor plans of a government library, both 20 years ago and how it looks currently.

Overall

, both the floor plans show that the library is rectangular with four rooms in the four corners of the building and two passageways criss-crossing each other, with all four rooms of the library opening into the east-west passage. The main changes currently are the increased

area

of the children's

room

and the conversion of the enquiry desk,

in addition

to the provision of other services (cafe and lecture

room

). In terms of the current floor plan, the children's

room

has moved from the northwest corner to the northeast with an increased

area

, housing sofas, books, and a storytelling corner.

Additionally

,

while

there is a lecture

room

at the far

right

of the entrance, the cafe and the computer

area

are immediately on the

right

and left of the entrance respectively. The corridor to the left houses the reference books

whereas

on the

right

are the adult-fiction books

along with

the information desk and three self-service machines.

However

, twenty years ago, the 4 equal-sized rooms in the corners housed the enquiry desk, children's materials, digital products section and reading

area

for periodicals, moving from the

right

to the left of the entrance. The seating was arranged in the north-south corridor, with the east-west corridor housing the fiction and non-fiction works for adults on the left and the

right

respectively.
