Writing task 2 (an essay)
While educating young people is essential, some believe that governments should invest more in educating disadvantaged adults.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
These diagrams illustrate a museum with its changes in 1957 and 2007.
Overall, the main area is not changed but the building is improved by adding more structures and the garden has been changed by removing trees from the back, side, and near the building and close to the read. By removing trees near to the building, museum shop is created.
In 1957, there was an entry road to the museum which is not more available in 2007 and it replaced by car park. Because of that, the location of entrance changed from the center of the building to the left corner.
In 2007, we clearly can see that there are some new rooms such as reception, café, museum shop, special exhibitions, and education center which are not been exist in 1957, but in 1957, the building had museum storeroom and now it does not. Some of the rooms still do exist, but their location are changed, for instance, local history room.
