QUESTION:
The plans below show the site of an airport now and how it will look after redevelopment next year. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The development plans for Southwest airport for the next year show significant changes from the current layout to the future layout. Overall, these changes will improve the airport’s facilities and increase its capacity. A bag-drop facility, more shops after Security Passport Control, an ATM, a café and a Car Hire will be added. The number of gates will be increased to 18 from 8 with a Sky Train replacing the existing Walkway.
In the Departures area, an additional entry door will be installed, and the existing Café and Check-in counters will be re-arranged to accommodate a Bag drop counter. After the Security Passport Control, there is an empty room at present and this will be transformed into a shopping area for the waiting passengers.
Similarly, the Arrivals area will see improvements, with an additional entrance door, an ATM, a café, and a Car Hire added. Some extension is planned to allow more space for the Car Hire. However, there are no changes or additions to the room after Passport Control Customs.
Furthermore, the number of gates will be increased from 8 to 18, and the area at the Gates will be expanded to accommodate the increased capacity. Finally, a Sky Train will replace the existing Walkway, providing more efficient transport for passengers.
