Below are some examples of general statements we could use to describe change in towns and
cities:

 Over the period, the area witnessed dramatic changes.

 From 1995 to 2005, the city centre saw spectacular developments.

 The village changed considerable over the time period.

 During the 10 year period, the industrial area was totally transformed.

 Over the past 20 years, the residential area was totally reconstructed.

 Over the time period, the old docks were totally redeveloped.

 Between 1995 and 2005, the old houses were rebuilt.

 The central business district was completely modernised during the time period.

 Pick two or three of the most noticeable differences in the map and write a general
statement for each. This will be your overview paragraph.

The more specific changes should be included in your main body paragraphs
B.

 The first picture shows the layout of an art gallery, and the second shows some proposed
changes to the gallery space.

 It is clear that significant changes will be made in terms of the use of floor space in the
gallery. There will be a completely new entrance and more space for exhibitions.

 At present, visitors enter the gallery through doors which lead into a lobby. However, the
plan is to move the entrance to the Parkinson Court side of the building, and visitors will
walk straight into the exhibition area. In place of the lobby and office areas, which are
shown on the existing plan, the new gallery plan shows an education area and a small
storage area.

 The permanent exhibition space in the redeveloped gallery will be about twice as large as it
is now because it will occupy the area that is now used for temporary exhibitions. There will
also be a new room for special exhibitions. This room is shown in red on the existing plan
and is not currently part of the gallery.

 1-Introduction : paraphrasing ( the first diagram shows the layout of the ground floor of a
house and the second one shows the proposed changes to it )
 2- Overview : the main changes ( the locations of the internal door and the stairs, size of the
living room)

 3- body para.1 The changes in stairs location , removal of the store under the stairs , and the
living room
4- body para. 2. The changes in the internal door position and kitchen furniture

D.

 The diagrams show how house designs differ according to climate.

 The most noticeable difference between houses designed for cool and warm climates is 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 reduce heat loss, whereas insulation and reflective
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.

Line Graph

 The line graph illustrates the financial position of a New Zealand local authority from 2012 to
2022. It is measured in millions of New Zealand dollars. Overall, it can be seen that while
rates revenue and user charges are predicted to increase over the period, borrowings and
grants and subsidies will remain much lower.

 Rates revenues and user charges will follow a very similar pattern over the time
frame. Rates revenue stood at just under 1.5 billion in 2012, which was the highest of the
four criteria. Though they remained stable until 2013, they are expected to climb to
approximately 2.4 billion dollars in 2022. Like rates revenues, use charges are predicted to
continuously increase. They began the period at 1 billion and will stand at twice this level
by 2022.

 Borrowings, on the other hand, are expected to show considerable fluctuation. Although
having initially increased,they will drop to a low of 600 million in 2016, before reaching a
peak of just under 1.5 billion in 2020. Borrowings will finish the period at around the same
level that they began. Grant and subsidies were the lowest of the four, at under 500
million in 2012. Despite moving up to exceed borrowing briefly in 2016, this low level will
continue until 2022.
