Task Response

The report attempts to address the task by describing the present and future plans for Bunborough, but it contains several inaccuracies and irrelevant details. For example, it mentions a train station and railway, which are not present in the visual description, and incorrectly states there are two hotels. The report also includes subjective interpretations (e.g., 'the government is aware') and informal language. To improve, focus on accurately selecting and reporting the main features from the maps, such as the new road loop, additional houses, hotel, car park, restaurant, yacht marina, and footpath. Avoid adding information not shown in the visual and maintain a neutral, objective tone. Ensure comparisons between the present and future are clear and supported by the data.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a basic structure with an introduction and separate paragraphs for the present and future, but the flow is disrupted by several issues. The overall message is understandable but not effortless to follow. Cohesive devices are used inconsistently (e.g., 'Regarding', 'As far as...is concerned'), and some sentences are poorly connected. Paragraphing is present but could be more skillfully managed to improve logical progression. To improve, focus on using a wider range of linking words and phrases to connect ideas smoothly, and ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate for the task but lacks range and sophistication. There are several spelling errors (e.g., 'plane' for 'plan', 'obseved' for 'observed', 'nescessity' for 'necessity', 'incresing' for 'increasing', 'connecteing' for 'connecting', 'northean' for 'northern') and some awkward or inaccurate word choices (e.g., 'aware with' instead of 'aware of', 'boost the tourism' instead of 'boost tourism', 'commercial hub' which is not mentioned in the visual). To improve, expand your vocabulary for describing changes and locations, and proofread carefully to eliminate spelling mistakes. Use more precise and natural terms.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report attempts a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are frequent grammatical errors that affect clarity. Examples include subject-verb agreement ('maps illustrates'), incorrect prepositions ('aware with'), missing articles, and run-on sentences. Punctuation is also inconsistent (e.g., missing commas, incorrect use of commas). To improve, practice using a wider range of grammatical structures accurately, such as relative clauses and conditionals, and pay close attention to basic grammar rules like subject-verb agreement and article usage. Proofreading for punctuation errors is also essential.
