Sample Answer
The provided maps depict an island, showing its initial state and how it looks following the construction of certain amenities catering to tourists.
Overall, the island has undergone considerable transformations, transitioning from a largely barren peninsula devoid of entertainment facilities to a holiday complex, with the addition of tourist accommodations, administrative areas, dining facilities, and boat services. Another notable feature is the increased accessibility to all areas within the complex and the inclusion of a new swimming area.
Before being revamped, the island consisted of a major peninsula, approximately 20 metres wide on its western edge, 30 metres wide on its eastern side, and 200 metres long. The peninsula was mostly deserted, except for a few trees scattered sporadically, most of which were located in the northeastern area. It was also in close proximity to a beach, which bordered the western side and could be accessed by a circular footpath.
Following the addition of tourist facilities, the island now consists of two major residential clusters, one located slightly to the west and another roughly at the centre. Both housing areas feature enclosed gathering zones, which can be accessed via footpaths, with the western cluster connected to the beach, enabling visitors to walk directly from the beach to their accommodations. Additionally, a reception has been placed between the two clusters, surrounded by a vehicle track, indicating vehicular access. It is also connected to a restaurant to the north and a pier to the south, the latter providing holidaymakers with opportunities for sea excursions by yacht. Lastly, the trees on the island have remained intact, with the new facilities developed around them.
