This model answer has been prepared by an examiner as a very good answer.
However, please note that this is just one answer out of many possible
approaches.

The two maps show the development of a university campus from 2006 to the
present day. It can be seen from the maps that the campus has been improved
and extended, with much more student accommodation and facilities than
previously.

Firstly, the number of student accommodation buildings has been increased in

number and size. A previous accommodation block south of the lake has been
destroyed and replaced by a new building for students, which includes shops
and offices. In addition, the teaching facilities have been extended. The
previous single teaching block has been changed into a block only for arts
subjects and there is a new building for the sciences to the north of the
campus. This has replaced the old university offices. The lawn and outside
seating area which were next to the lake have been removed. The lake,
however, has remained and is still the central point of the campus.
