Sample Answer (Band 8.5)
The two maps illustrate how a university campus has been transformed over a 35-year period from 1985 to 2020.
In 1985, the campus was relatively small, with a single library in the north, a car park in the northeast, and three academic buildings arranged in a row in the center. A small garden area was located in the southwest corner, and there was a road running along the eastern boundary.
By 2020, the campus had undergone significant expansion. The original library remained in the north but was extended, while the car park was relocated to the northwest corner and expanded. The number of academic buildings increased from three to five, with two new buildings added in the southern area. Additionally, a new sports center was constructed in the southwest, replacing the garden. A new road was also built on the western side to accommodate increased traffic.
Overall, the campus experienced substantial growth, with new facilities added and existing buildings expanded or relocated to meet the needs of a larger student population.
