TASK 1:
Question: The diagram below shows the plan of a medical centre in 2008 and 2010.
ANSWER:
The maps illustrate how the layout of a medical center changed between 2008 and 2010.
Overall, the center was expanded in size, with more rooms for doctors and additional function rooms.
In 2008, the entrance to the center was at the middle of the lower wall, opening to a reception while to the right was a laboratory. To the left lay a waiting area that served drinks, and this led upward to a corridor through a door. From this, visitors could find three doctor’s offices in the top right area, opposite a staff office, whereas a treatment room was located on the far left.
In 2010, a pharmacy was opened above the laboratory. Furthermore, a section was built for an education room and a mother and child room, all of which could be accessed from a new door on the middle left wall of the waiting room. At the right end of the original corridor, another doctor’s room and a store room were constructed, and an exit was also opened at this end. (173 words)
