Band 6+: The diagrams below show the changes that occurred around a school between 1990 and 2010. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

The maps illustrate the changes made to the vicinity of the school in 3 decades: 1990, 2000, and 2010.

Overall, school itself remained intact, though surrounding buildings altered significantly during the period. A car park, nursery school, sports field and shops were introduced.

In 1990, a road ran vertically along the left side of the map, which connected the school on top and the houses. The playground was located to the right of the school, while a farmland was on the bottom-right corner.

A decade later, top part of the houses was replaced by shops. The farmland on the bottom was also removed, and the sports field was built instead.

By 2010, the nursery school was added in the area of playground. The shops were substituted with the car park. The houses on the bottom also disappeared, and the shops were relocated to there.
