IELTS CAMBRIDGE 17 TASK ESSAY: MAP OF AN INDUSTRIAL AREA ( NORBITON)

The maps illustrate an industrial area in Norbiton in the present day compared with plans for future development of the site.

Analysis

1. The above maps detail Norbiton in the present day and plans for future development.

2. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that the town will become less industrial and more residential with the construction of facilities for housing, education, shopping, and medical care.

3. This development will occur primarily to the west and north with only a small patch of farmland remaining undisturbed.

1. Paraphrase what the table shows.
2. Write a clear overview summarising the differences.
3. You might need another sentence for your overview.

1. In the current town, there is a central roundabout surrounded by factories and a road running from west to east out of Norbiton.

2. In the future, the roundabout will remain but the factories around it will become shops, new housing will line a northwestern road, and there will be a new hospital built to the southeast.

3. The original road going to the east will also now have housing on either side along with a large playground to the north and a school at the easternmost border of the town.

1. Begin writing about the first part of the map.
2. Make sure you compare as much as possible.
3. Don’t leave anything out!

1. Outside the center of the town, there are also plans for a smaller roundabout in the south which will bisect an existing street. 2. In the north, there will be a bridge over the river and the farmland to the north will be partly replaced with housing, though not to the east where no alterations will be made.

1. Write about the final, other parts of the map – include everything!
2. Mention anything that has not changed on the map too.
