The question
The maps show the changes of an office building between the present and the future.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
Present Office Building
- Four offices lie along the lower side.
- Kitchen, canteen and storeroom occupy the upper side, with WCs near the right and grass strips on both sides.
Future Office Building
- There are still four office rooms: two upper offices and two larger lower offices.
- Kitchen and Canteen labels disappear; the storeroom remains.
- The grass areas become outdoor seating on the left and meeting space on the right; WCs move and a coffee machine is shown.
What your overview should cover
An answer reaches the higher Task Achievement bands only with a clear overview of the main features, not every number. For this plan, that means:
- The office count remains four, but offices move into the former kitchen and canteen and the lower office arrangement changes from four rooms to two.
- The storeroom remains in the upper-right interior.
- Both grass strips are replaced by seating/meeting functions; WCs relocate to the upper-right corner and a coffee machine appears.
- The main bottom entrance moves from the lower right-middle to the lower middle, while a left-side entrance remains.
