TASK 1 (MAPS): SCHOOL LIBRARY
 |
Sample Answer
The provided plans compare a school library today with its layout five years ago, before redevelopment.
Overall, the library, once equipped only with facilities catering to administrative activities and traditional learning, has been transformed into an integrated learning hub geared towards personalised learning and the efficient exchange of publications. This transformation includes the addition of private study corners, technology-augmented sections, and designated spaces for personal computers. Another key change is the inclusion of a conferencing area, which reflects an increased emphasis on group learning.
Five years ago, the library consisted of two major bookshelves situated in the northernmost and southernmost areas of its layout, between which lay four centrally positioned study tables. Meanwhile, the southwestern section featured a classroom, a meeting room, and a borrowing-and-returning desk (in this order from top to bottom). The eastern area contained a designated desk for computers in the northeastern corner, while the library office occupied the opposite side.
Today, the library has undergone dramatic redevelopment. While the northernmost bookshelves remain largely unaltered, two additional study tables have been introduced, bringing the total to six, all of which have been converted into private learning tables, indicating a greater focus on individualised learning. In contrast, the southernmost bookshelves have been replaced by desks for students’ laptops, further emphasising portability. The western area now includes a newly added recording studio, which has replaced the former classroom, while the meeting room remains unchanged. The combined borrowing-and-returning desk has been separated into two distinct areas, each serving a specific function. On the eastern side, the original computer desk has been converted into one for students’ laptops, while a new conference room has been constructed in place of the library office.
