Band 6+: The two maps show Tiden Airport and the surrounding area in 1985 and 2015. Write a report for a university lecturer summarizing the information shown in the maps.

The maps display information about how Tilden Airport looked in 1985 and 2015. Overall, there were some changes over the given period. Several buildings were converted, constructed and demolished.

In 1985, there was a road connected two buildings: domestic terminal and car park. Additionally, the road went through the whole airport and leaded to the city of Tilden, which was situated 8 kilometers away. Next to the domestic terminal, there was an international terminal. Moreover, there were two factories located opposite the Johnson’s Farm.

By 2015, the Tilden Airport had become international. In addition, Johnson’s Farm was removed which gave much space for constructing a Runway Two, business park and housing estate. Futhermore, internatioanl terminal was expanded so it was surrounded with three roads: Runway One, Runway Two and with the road leading to the city. What is more, two factories were converted into airport support service and hotel and conference centre. The buildings were situated by each other and adjacent to the tight rail, which went from Bus and Light Rail Station to the city of Tilden.
