Band 6+: The map below is of the town of Canterbury. A new school (S) is planned for the area. The map shows two possible sites for the school. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The map illustrates the town of Canterbury and presents two potential locations (S1 and S2) for a new school. Overall, S1 is situated close to the countryside, while S2 is located closer to the city centre in a non-trafic zone.

Regarding the first site, S1, is positioned in the Northeast of Canterbury, close to the main road leading to Sturry, which is approximately 5 km away and has a population of 7,000. This place is surrounded by countryside and is rather far from the urban areas and central residential. However, its a good opportunity to enter the school for student from nearby villages.

By contrast, S2 is positioned more centrally, within to the city centre. This area is situated in the middle of the residential area and is also near the University, suggesting a higher population density. Additionally, S2 is connected by main roads leading to Chartham, located 7 km away with a population of 4,500.

Both proposed sites have advantages and they are suitable for a new school.

In summary, whether S1 offers a quiter, less crowded environment, S2 appears to be more conveniently located for a lager number of residents.
