The two maps below show an island, before and after the construction of some tourist facilities.
Model Answer:
Given are two maps depicting an island before and after the building of tourist amenities. Overall the island transforms from having no man-made constructions to an island that is covered with structures, except on the right-hand side of the island.
Starting with the first map, which shows that the island has only one beach on the left-hand side and it is barren except for a few trees scattered around it. The island is about 250 metres long and about 75 metres wide with no man-made features.
The second map illustrates the building of tourist infrastructure on the island. The left of the map shows a path was constructed to allow tourists to go swimming at the beach. This path is connected to a ring of bungalows. To the right of this path, a road was built with a reception building beside it. The road leads to a restaurant above the reception and a jetty below it that allows boats to dock. On the right side of the island, another ring of huts was constructed connected by a path. The far right remains free from man-made construction. [187 words]

Time: 2 periods
Amount of data: about 10 key features
Note:
1.There is no compass on the map so we cannot use words like north or south to describe the map
2.There is a scale showing 100 metres so the size of the island MUST be covered.
