[IELTS Task 1] Analysing Map of School from 1950 until 2010

The pictures illustrate the changes of West Park Secondary School from the initial construction from 1950 until 2010. We can see that changes occurred a lot in sixty years but the school remained the same.

In 1950, the school was constructed near the main road in the right side of the map. In the left side of the school, three typical houses stood there. Behind the houses, there was a farmland. Thus, the playground was behind the school and on the right side of the farmland.

In 1980, there were few changes in the surrounding of the school. The school building in 1950 became the main building of school in 1980. The houses changed to science block and car park. In precisely left side of the main building, there was a squared science block and the rest was car park. Moreover, the farmland turned into sport field and the playground remained the same.

In 2010, few changes occurred if we compare to situation in 1980. The car park was larger, taking over the sport field in 1980. Then, the sport field was moved to the right side of previous one, replacing the partial of playground. Consequently, the playground was narrower than of that in 1980. For the main building of school and the science corner, they were the same as in 1980.

Hi there, you did not attach the MAP, so I just imagine what is on the map.

Maybe you can describe with NORTH, SOUTH, WEST, EAST, instead of RIGHT/LEFT

We can see that changes occurred a lot in sixty years but the school remained the same.

Kandrika, it is important that you learn how to divide the portions of information that can help the essay / report meet the minimum 3 sentence requirement. It is not very difficult to do that since the information is already handed to you in the chart. You just need to get creative in your presentation of the overview. Let me show you a sample of how to do that:

West Park Secondary School was built in 1950. Having been built in the 20th century, the school was placed on a property that was large enough for the school to accommodate expansion and growth over the next 60 years. This chart illustrates the type of renovations and additions that were made to the school over the past 60 years.

As you can see, all I did was take the known information from the chart you provided and then I divided its presentation within the introduction or summary overview. By doing so, I managed to introduce the subject of the report, its objective, and overall information to be presented in the succeeding paragraphs. The overview now shows how each topic will be discussed as a separate paragraph in succeeding parts of the essay. That is the aim of an overview. I hope my sample will be able to help you with your future compositions :-)
