The two maps illustrate the main changes which have taken place in the town of Denham from 1986 to the present. Overall, the town has most notably shown an increase in housing development, which indicates a higher population and a move away from agriculture and farming. One change that stands out is that there has been a significant redevelopment over the whole period of what was once farmland. Housing now dominates the area to the east of the river stoke. In 1986 there were shops and just a handful of residential properties. Now there are no shops nor farmland left, although the post office is still there. The bridge over the river stoke still stands as it did in 1986. Another noticeable change is that there have been more roads built around the housing complex. Additionally, the gardens, that were a feature in 1986, have been removed and the large houses were expanded and converted into a retirement home. The primary school still stands and has been extended in the decades since. The fence toward the river that was running north of the gardens in 1986 is no longer there. (189 words) Aim for around 170 to 190 words in this task. You will not have time to go into a long report and you need to be selective in writing task 1. 2

Ravjot Kaur Kalra PLEASE CHECK MY WRITING ON THE SAME MAP AND GIVE ME THE SCORES The given map illustrates the changes, additions or developments occurred in the town of Denham in England from the year 1986 till date. Overall, the town has been developed with the new houses, while farmlands along with the farming animals were demolished completely in present. One thing which outstands in the map is the number of houses, which have been constructed majorly after knocking down not only the massive agricultural land, but also the shops in the mid of the location given, while post office remained unchanged in the center of the map. Opposite to the post office, primary school has been expanded by removing the road, while the bridge still stands the same. Other noticeable change is that, ‘Gardens with the large house’ which was next to the school in the south redeveloped into a ‘retirement home’. Furthermore, river stoke which was flowing from southern to northern part has kept the same. Like 8 Reply 8 4w
