1. The two maps show an island before and after the construction of some tourist facilities.

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

The diagram highlights the changes which took place (happened) on an island through the
installation (building = erection) of tourist infrastructure = facilities.

Overall, the island, which measures 1.5km across, was transformed from an uninhabited and
featureless location into a holiday resort with many facilities.

In terms of building developments, one significant change was the construction of two zones
of accommodation, which flank (to be placed on both sides of sth) a new reception to the east
and west. In the western zone (ở trong khu vực phía tây), there are a few trees, which had also
been present prior to = before the development. In addition, a restaurant was built to the north of
the reception.

Regarding transport, a pier was introduced off the south coast, and a vehicle track was laid
(lay/lie)to link the main attractions. Specifically/particularly/To be specific, this track connects
the pier, the reception, and the restaurant, as well as a newly built western footpath. This footpath
not only links the western accommodation but also leads to the beach, which now offers a
swimming area. Although the eastern huts are also connected by a footpath, this is not linked
with the vehicle track.
2. The pictures illustrate the designs of houses for cool climate and warm climate.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make
comparisons where relevant.

The diagrams show how house designs differ according to (based on/dependent on/depending
on) climate.
The most noticeable difference between houses designed for cool and warm climates is/lies in
the shape of the roof. The designs also differ with regard to the windows and the use of
insulation.
We can see that the cool climate house has a high-angled roof, which allows sunlight to enter
through the window. By contrast, the roof of the warm climate house has a peak in the middle
and roof overhangs to shade the windows. Insulation and thermal building materials are used in
cool climates to maintain the heat, whereas insulation and reflective (phản chiếu) materials are
used to keep the heat out in warm climates.
Finally, the cool climate house has one window which faces the direction of the sun, while the
warm climate house has windows on two sides which are shaded from the sun. By opening the
two windows at night, the house designed for warm climates can be ventilated.
3. Chorleywood is a village near London whose population has increased steadily since the
middle of the nineteenth century. The map shows the development of the village.
Write a report for a university lecturer describing the development of the village.

The map shows the growth of a village called Chorleywood between 1868 and 1994.

It is clear that the village grew as the transport infrastructure was improved. Four periods of
development are shown on the map, and each of the populated areas is near to the main roads,
the railway or the motorway.
→ Four periods of development → stage /phases (the village underwent four phases of
development).
→ The village experienced significant development over the surveyed period./ The village
substantially expanded its scale over the 4 periods.
From 1868 to 1883, Chorleywood covered a small area next to one of the main roads.
Chorleywood Park and Golf Course is now located next to this original village area. The village
grew along the main road to the south between 1883 and 1922, and in 1909 a railway line was
built crossing this area from west to east. Chorleywood station is in this part of the village.

The expansion of Chorleywood continued to the east and west alongside the railway line until
1970. At that time, a motorway was built to the east of the village, and from 1970 to 1994,
further development of the village took place around motorway intersections with the railway
and one of the main roads.

→ a motorway was built to the east of the village → a motorway was built parallel to one of the
prevalent main roads
