Band 8+: The maps below show the changes made to a farm in the 1980 to turn factory site. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The two maps illustrate the transformation of a farm in 1980 into a factory site at the present time.

Overall, the area has undergone significant development, changing from a peaceful agricultural setting to a more industrial and recreational space. Many original features have been removed or replaced by modern facilities.

In 1980, the farm included a pond surrounded by benches, and a small flower garden was located near the entrance gate. There were also trees in the top right corner, contributing to a natural environment. Additionally, there was a wide path that connected all parts of the farm.

Currently, many changes have taken place. While the pond and benches have been retained, the surrounding area now includes a bush instead of trees. The flower area remains in the same location, but a playground has been added in the bottom right corner. The area that once had trees now contains chairs, desks, and a barbecue spot, suggesting that the space is used for social or staff gatherings. A bush has replaced the trees, indicating reduced greenery.

To conclude, the former farm has been converted into a factory-related site with added facilities like a playground and sitting area, showing a shift from nature to functionality.
