    The maps below show changes in the city of Nelson in recent times.

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

    Write at least 150 words.

    Model answer

    The two maps show the main changes which have taken place in the town of Nelson between the
    year 2000 and today. In general, it appears that Nelson has become a much more modern city,
    with far more shopping and transport facilities.

    One interesting change is that a new trans line has been built, to connect the university with the
    town centre. In 2000, there was not any accommodation for students, but a hall of residence has
    been built near the university. Another striking change is that the old market in the west of the
    city has been knocked down to make way for new shops. A completely new covered market has
    also been built on the other side/part of town.

    At the port area, it has been pedestrianized since 2000, and a range of entertainment facilities
    have been built, such as restaurants, bars and clubs. The north-east of the city used to be a green
    area, with lots of trees, but the trees have been cut down, and a new shopping complex has been
    constructed. A final interesting development has been the introduction of a bike-rental scheme in
    the city centre.
