Report:
The plans illustrate the layout of a museum and the surrounding area in 1990 and 2010.
Overall, there were more exhibition rooms in 1990, and by 2010 a cafe had replaced a cottage next to the main road.
The garden shown at the top of the diagrams remained unchanged. At the foot of the plans, the main road was also unchanged, and on both plans a path in the centre connected the gardens and the main road.
An area to the right of this path was divided between a garden and a car parking space in 1990. However, in 2010 the car park was extended to occupy all this area. By contrast, there were several changes to the area left of the path. A cafe in 2010 replaced a cottage and, just below the entrance, the shop was enlarged, taking the place of one of the two exhibition rooms in 1990. The store room near the entrance was unchanged, but the two exhibition rooms near the entrance in 1990 were combined into one large exhibition space in 2010.

Essay:
In some parts of the world, people must sometimes leave their countries, families and friends in order to seek work. While they obviously have a good reason to make such a hard decision, I believe that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.
On the one hand, the great advantage is to be able to earn a living in another country. If they are unable to find work in their own country, many men join the global migration of labour. Leaving their families, they become economic migrants, sending money home if they are able to find work. In France, for example, many migrant workers from North Africa work in the construction or service industries, in order to support a family in their native country. If they had not moved to another country and found work, their family would have remained poverty-stricken and without hope for the future.
On the other hand, there are too many disadvantages if this situation is allowed to continue. Firstly, local populations are sometimes prejudiced against migrants and their families, and so they find it difficult to integrate into society. Secondly, they may have to accept work in the host country that is low-paid and labour-intensive, and a working environment that is dangerous and unhealthy. Finally, this movement of labour has consequences for developing countries. It results in the disappearance of traditional ways of life, the destruction of ties of kinship and close-knit families, while economic activity is left in the hands of an aging population. The loss of the youngest and most active members of the community is incompatible with a sustainable future for that county.
In conclusion, although workers and their families may be forced to move abroad in order to improve their lives, the drawbacks outweigh the benefits.
