Image for topic: The illustrations below show an island, before and after the construction of some tourist facilities.

Our system will evaluate the answer based on this AI-generated description.

The image contains two maps of an island, one showing the island before the construction of tourist facilities and the other after. The maps are labeled "Before" and "After," respectively, and both have a scale indicating 100 meters. In the "Before" map, the island has a beach on its southwest side and is dotted with palm trees throughout. The "After" map shows significant development, including accommodations in the form of huts arranged in two rows on the northeast side of the island, a reception building, and a restaurant near the center. A vehicle track is depicted connecting the huts, reception, and restaurant, and encircling these facilities is a footpath that also leads to the beach. The beach appears unchanged. There are no numerical data points, percentages, trends, or any other quantifiable indicators provided in the image.

Given the complexity of the image, the above description may not be entirely accurate.

Following construction, an reception building is build up in central area and a restaurant is stand up above it.

Task Response

The report attempts to address the task by describing the changes between the two maps. However, there are several issues with accuracy and clarity. The description of the locations (left-hand, right-hand, central) is somewhat confusing and does not always align clearly with the visual layout. There are also significant grammatical errors and awkward phrasing (e.g., 'is stand up above it', 'is build up') that occasionally obscure the meaning. To improve, focus on using more precise directional language (North, South, East, West) and ensure that the relationship between new features, such as the vehicle track and the facilities, is described logically and accurately.

Coherence & Cohesion

The organization of ideas is somewhat logical, but the progression is hindered by frequent errors in phrasing and sentence structure. While you attempt to use cohesive devices (e.g., 'Overall', 'Following construction', 'However'), they are often used in ways that do not smoothly connect the ideas. To improve, focus on using transition words more naturally and ensure that each paragraph has a clear, singular purpose. Work on grouping information more effectively - for example, describing all new facilities in one paragraph and the changes to the natural environment in another.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is quite limited and often inaccurate, which occasionally makes the meaning difficult to grasp (e.g., 'is stand up above it', 'is build up', 'is remained its natural condition'). There are also spelling errors such as 'plam' instead of 'palm' and 'pler' which is unclear. To improve, aim to learn more precise verbs for describing changes in maps, such as 'constructed', 'introduced', 'transformed', or 'retained'. Avoid using informal or awkward phrasing like 'other thing' and instead use more academic transitions like 'In addition' or 'Furthermore'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and significantly impact the readability of the report. There are consistent issues with verb tenses (e.g., using 'is build up' instead of 'was built'), subject-verb agreement, and the use of passive voice. There is also a lack of control over sentence structures, often resulting in fragmented or awkward sentences. To improve, focus on mastering the passive voice, which is essential for describing processes and changes in Task 1, and practice using a variety of complex sentence structures correctly.
