Answer to Exercise
The map represents the town of Charmington as it was
in 1995 and how it is predicted to look in 2025.
The town used to be much less built-up, and by 2025,
new developments will significantly change the landscape.
The most significant changes are that Charmington will have
ample accommodation for residents, as well as a brand-new
shopping mall, and there will be numerous tourist-friendly
amenities. 
In 1995 most of Charmington was undeveloped, and
there were with just a few holiday cottages and a hotel on the
western side, as well as a small tearoom near the dunes in the
south, and a bank on the riverfront.
However, the map for 2025 shows that some radical
changes are planned for the town. To the northwest of
Charmington, the forest will be turned into a nature reserve.
Additionally, the nearby marsh area will be developed into
become residential housing units, and the holiday cottages
will be demolished and rebuilt facing moved near the lake
next to the East Bank.
A new town center will be built to include several new
facilities such as a boat club on the riverfront, a retirement
village, and a shopping mall, built where the dunes used to be.

Meanwhile, the small tearoom next to the dunes will be
upgraded to a restaurant. The only features of the map to
remain the same are the hotel in the southeast of the town and
the East Bank. The hotel in the southeast and the East Bank
will remain untouched.

to maps and directions. You must familiarize yourself with these types of
words and their usage.
Here are some words and phrases that are useful for a map
