You are helping your parents in buying a new apartment. What would you suggest they refer to — a map or a plan of the apartment? Discuss with your classmates and give reasons for your answer.

I would suggest my parents to refer to a plan of the apartment, and not a map.

This is because a plan would show the exact layout of the apartment including room sizes, arrangement, and entrances. It helps in making practical decisions like furniture placement, room utility, and space planning. A map would only be useful to see the location of the building, and not provide the specific details of the apartment inside.
