The map below describes changes to a park in 1980 and now. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The given maps illustrate the development which took place in the
park
between 1980 and now.
Overall
, a comparison of the two maps reveals a complete transformation from a natural
area
to a more recreational
park
. In the year 1980, the
park
was a much greener
area
with a large number of trees and flowers.
However
, during the next 43 years, the
park
saw a number of significant changes. The most noticeable is that the majority of the trees in the northeast
area
were chopped down and converted into a recreational garden, complete with all facilities to support group events,
such
as camping or barbecue parties.
Moreover
, the flowers in the southwest
area
were not treated well and turned into bushes.
In addition
, the flowers in the southeast
area
were replaced by a new playground.
In contrast
, there were no significant changes in the small space near the gate. The pond still remains the same,
along with
the benches.
Additionally
, one bench was added and there are four benches in that space right now.
