Perhaps, the airport is already being redeveloped. That's why I don't know how to insert 'next year' in my rewrite. Please suggest a way.

Original: The plans below show the site of an airport now and how it will look after redevelopment next year.
My paraphrase: The plans display how the Southwest airport/Airport? looks now and how it is planned to redevelop it for next year.air.jpg

Thanks, but you just copied the original. I need to paraphrase it.
 
I didn't. Read my version more carefully.
 
The plans below show [name of airport] now and next year, after redevelopment.

Thanks, how should I write the name of the airport?

Southwest airport
the Southwest airport

Southwest Airport
the Southwest Airport

In general, the word "airport" forms part of the name of airports so capitalise it. No article is required with most proper nouns.
 
These plans show how the airport will look after (the) redevelopment.
 
How about:

The plans below show the redevelopment of [name of airport], before and after
 
The original uses "the plans show".
I changed 'show' to 'display'. But you guys all use 'show'. Can I use 'display'? If I can't, what can I use except 'show'?
 
The plans show something - the new layout of the airport. They are probably displayed at the departure lounge.

But 'display' is not wrong?
 
I would say that it was.
 
Why are you paraphrasing it?

I was told that for an IELTS writing task 1 question, the introduction paragraph should be the rewrite of the original.
