Band 9 Sample
Answer from the book
The
diagrams below show the development of a small fishing village and
its surrounding area into a large European tourist resort.
Summarise the information by
selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons
where relevant. |
The two
plans illustrate how a small coastal village in Europe grew into a
large tourist centre between 1974 and 2004.
The
figures show that over these thirty years the local population
increased dramatically from only 12,000 to 80,000 swelling to a
possible 130,000 during the tourist season.
During
this period, large numbers of high-rise hotels were built along the
coastline on both sides of the original village. The harbour and
coastal woodlands were replaced by a sandy beach and a golf course
for the tourists. Similarly, the olive groves inland were replaced
with fruit and vegetable farms for the tourist market.
The
original village and those further inland on the hillsides were
developed with more homes for locals and more shops for the tourist
trade. A main road leading from the hills to the coast was built to
cope with the increased traffic to the village.
In
conclusion, not only the original village, but also the whole
surrounding area had been transformed into a well-populated tourist
resort by 2004.
