IELTS Academic Writing Task 1

The two maps below show road access to a hospital in 2008 and 2011.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

Write at least 150 words.

Sample Answer

The two maps depict the major changes which have taken place in the route to City Hospital between the year 2007 and 2010.

In general, it seems that the road accessibility to city hospital has become better and well planned. In the first map, we can see that city hospital was surrounded by ring road, which was further connected to city road by hospital road. Three different bus stops were constructed on both the sides of hospital road. Car parking facility was also provided on the left side of the hospital road.

In three years, remarkable construction was done to improve the reachability to city hospital. A bigger bus station was built in the eastern side of the hospital and next to it, trees were planted . Two roundabouts were also erected at the beginning and the end of hospital road. All bus stops were demolished on both the sides of hospital road. A new public park was constructed in the west side of the hospital road, whereas, on the opposite side, a car parking area was reserved for the staff only.

To sum up, significant changes were made in the road access to the city hospital. Most of the changes took place in the area near the hospital road only, whereas the areas around the Ring Road and City Road remained unchanged.
