Cambridge IELTS 19 Academic Writing Test 2 Task 1

You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. Write at least 150 words.
The plans below show a harbour in 2000 and how it looks today.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The plans compare the layout of the port harbour in 2000 with its current configuration.

Overall, the area has undergone considerable redevelopment, with several new commercial and leisure facilities introduced. The castle has been converted into a hotel, and the former public beach has become a private beach. In contrast, the marina and fishing boats have remained in the same locations.

One of the most significant changes is the expansion of the dock, which now includes additional berths and a passenger ferry terminal situated close to the private yachts. Moreover, the open space that previously lay across the road in 2000 has been replaced by a row of cafés and shops. To improve amenities, new shower and toilet facilities have also been constructed in the northern part of the harbour.

Finally, the conversion of the castle into a hotel has resulted in the adjacent western beach being incorporated into the hotel grounds and transformed from a public area into a private beach.
