Three maps show how the same area was changing over three specific years (in 1962, 1985 and for now).

Overall, the Meadowside village experienced a huge expansion of territory, however, it turned into suburban area by now. Fonton expanded its territory even bigger and a bunch of new buildings appeared there by now.

In 1962 the Meadowside village was tiny and had no buildings were in the village, whereas in 1985 the territory got larger, and new places like Housing estate, Super stone and Leisure complex were built in the village. In 1985 first roads appeared. Now, there are no villages and only new Meadowside suburbs. The buildings that were built in 1985 were still there and a hotel, station and a Business Park were created there.

In 1962 and 1985 the village and fonton were two separate areas, but by now, they merged into one territory and became a large suburban area.

Task Response

The report addresses the main trends and provides a comparison between the three time periods. The overview successfully identifies the expansion of the areas and the shift from village to suburb. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data reporting (such as mentioning 'Super stone' and 'Leisure complex' which were not in the visual description) and some grammatical inconsistencies that affect the clarity of the description. To improve, ensure that all mentioned features are strictly supported by the provided visual information and focus on refining sentence structures to improve the flow of the comparison.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical progression, but the cohesion is weakened by repetitive sentence structures and some awkward transitions. While the overview provides a general trend, the body paragraphs could be better organized to group developments logically (e.g., by time period or by type of development). To improve, use a wider variety of cohesive devices and linking words to connect ideas more smoothly rather than relying on simple chronological sequencing.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is functional but quite basic and repetitive (e.g., frequent use of 'territory', 'village', and 'built'). There is also some imprecise phrasing, such as 'a bunch of new buildings' and 'no buildings were in the village', which is too informal for an academic report. Aim to use more sophisticated synonyms for expansion (e.g., 'enlarged', 'developed', 'transformed') and more precise verbs for construction (e.g., 'erected', 'established', 'constructed').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical inaccuracies that hinder the flow of the report. Issues include tense inconsistency (mixing past and present inappropriately), awkward phrasing ('no buildings were in the village'), and errors in sentence structure. For example, 'the Meadowside village experienced a huge expansion... however, it turned into suburban area' needs better punctuation and article usage. Focus on mastering complex sentence structures and ensuring that verb tenses are used correctly to reflect the specific time periods being described.
