Sample Essay

The two maps display how road access to a city hospital had changed by 2010 compared with 2007.

Overall, there had not been many changes made, except two new roundabouts, a new car park, and the replacement of the bus stops by a bus station.

Surrounding the hospital was Ring Road, which was connected to City Road by Hospital Road.​ By 2010, two roundabouts had been added, at the junctions of Hospital Road with Ring Road and with City Road respectively.

There was a car park for staff and the public on the southeast side of Ring Road in 2007. However, by 2010, it had become a staff-only car park, and a new public one had been built on the east side of this road.

The bus stops at two sides of Hospital Road were replaced by a large bus station, which had direct access to the two roundabouts.
