The survey boundary
An original fictional information text for reading practice.
The survey concerns the small triangle of land behind the village shop. It does not include the adjacent yard, which belongs to the delivery company. A low wall separates the two areas, although the broken section at its corner can make them appear to form a single space.
Please mark observations on the supplied plan. The numbers on the plan identify positions; they are not measurements of the plants found there. A photograph should include the numbered marker so that another volunteer can locate the same patch.
The organisers would welcome records made at different times of day. They would prefer a clear description of one visit to a list copied from somebody else’s notes.
Explain what the word “adjacent” means as it is used in this text.
