🏠 People in IELTS maps 🏠

There are students who always want to include people into their IELTS map descriptions. This is not necessarily wrong, but there are limitations.

For example:

1️⃣ If we have a museum, we can safely say "visitors." But "tourists" or "art aficionados" are a no-no.

2️⃣ If we have a college, we can safely say "students." But "attendees" or "graduates" are a no-no.

So only include the type of people that most directly match the purpose of the building.

On top of that, include people rarely as the focus of the task is the facility, not the people. So, it's better to say, "A restaurant will be built," rather than, "Visitors will be able to have a meal in a newly-built restaurant."

Include people into IELTS map descriptions wisely.

Btw, what's wrong with using "tourists" in a museum description or "graduates" in a college description? When might you use "attendees"? "Art aficionados"?
