Question

The pictures below show three different kinds of bridges.Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.The pictures compare the design of three types of bridge, namely arch, concrete girder and suspension bridge. It is clear that each model is designed based on the nature of a particular location, with the arch bridge clearly having the simplest structure of all.In terms of length, while the arch bridge can only span less than 200m, the design of the concrete girder bridge allows for unlimited extension, depending on how many piers it has. Meanwhile, it seems that the suspension bridge has no limits with regard to how far it can stretch. Additionally, this bridge model can be built over the sea where large ships usually set sail. On the other hand, arch and concrete girder bridges are only suitable for narrower water bodies such as lakes and rivers.Regarding height, arch and concrete girder bridges can only be respectively raised up to 100m and 300m above water level, whereas the suspension bridge structure can be built on deep-sea levels. Finally, the concrete girder model has more piers than the other two, with each one being less than 200m apart.

~~It is clear that~~ each ~~model~~ is designed based on the nature of a particular location, with the arch bridge clearly having the simplest structure of all. (You need one or two additional points for paragraph #2).

In terms of length, while the arch bridge can only span less than 200m, the design of the concrete girder bridge allows for unlimited extension, depending on how many piers it has. Meanwhile, it seems that the suspension bridge has no limits (That is not true, the length is up to 2 km between the two masts.) with regard to how far it can stretch. Additionally, this bridge ~~model~~ can be built over ~~the sea~~ a deep ship channel where large ships usually set sail. On the other hand, arch and concrete girder bridges are only suitable for narrower water bodies such as lakes and rivers.

Regarding height, arch and concrete girder bridges can only be respectively raised up to 100m and 300m above water level, (Incorrect. Over the bottom of the body of water.) whereas the suspension bridge structure can be built on deep~~-sea levels~~. channels. Finally, the concrete girder model has more piers than the other two, with each one being less than 200m apart.

Sample essay: (~200 words)

The three diagrams illustrate the differences in three different bridge designs: arch, girder and suspension.

Overall the three designs cover all the possible location configurations, each deign being suited for a particular situation: first, a short span over a shallow river, second, a very long span over a large shallow body of water such as a lake, swamp or lagoon and third, a span across a deep but narrow gorge such as over a ship channel or canyon.

In detail, an arch has its supports on the shore, with the roadway built on top of the arch, which is an extremely robust structure. But it has limitations on being no higher than 100 m from the river bottom to the peak of the arch, and a span of less than 200 m. The concrete girder bridge supports are concrete masts, spaced no more than 200 m apart. However, its total length is unlimited. The suspension bridge is supported by two masts, which are located near the shore, in shallow water. The roadway is held up by steel cables suspended from the masts. It is suitable for deep channels for large ships up to 2 km wide, as measured between the masts.
