Sample Answer
The diagrams illustrate some changes to a small island which
has been developed for
tourism.
It is clear that the island has changed considerably with the introduction of tourism,
and six new features can be seen in the second diagram. The main developments are
that the island is accessible and visitors have somewhere to stay.
Looking at the maps in more detail, we can see that small
huts have been built to
accommodate visitors to the island. The other physical structures that have been
added are a reception building, in the middle of the island,
and a restaurant to the
north of the reception. Before these developments, the island was completely bare
apart from a few trees.
As well as the buildings mentioned above, the new facilities
on the island include a
pier, where boats can dock. There is also a short road linking the pier with the
reception and restaurant, and footpaths connect the huts. Finally, there is a
designated swimming area for tourists off a beach on the western tip of the island.

The percentage of people using various mobile phone features
The table compares the percentages of people using different functions of their
mobile phones between 2006 and 2010.
Throughout the period shown, the main reason why people used their mobile phones
was to make calls. However, there was a marked increase
in the popularity of other
mobile phone features, particularly the Internet search feature.
In 2006, 100% of mobile phone owners used their phones to make calls, while the
next most popular functions were text messaging (73%) and taking photos (66%). By
contrast, less than 20% of owners played games
or music on their phones, and there
were no figures for users doing Internet searches or recording video.
Over the following 4 years, there was relatively little change in the figures for the top
three mobile phone features. However, the percentage of people using their phones
to access the Internet jumped to 41% in 2008 and then to 73% in 2010. There was
also a significant rise in the use of mobiles to
play games and to record video, with
figures reaching 41% and 35% respectively in 2010.
