Task Response

The report addresses the main changes between the two maps and provides an overview of the transformations. However, there are several inaccuracies in the spatial descriptions and data reporting that affect the clarity of the response. For instance, the report claims the 'WC was removed to make way for permanent exhibition rooms,' whereas the visual description suggests the permanent exhibition rooms were already present in the upper-right sector. Additionally, some descriptions of where specific facilities were relocated (such as the shop and bags/coats) are somewhat confusing. To improve, focus on more precise directional language (e.g., north, south, east, west) and ensure that the relationship between the old and new features is described accurately according to the layout.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, the progression of ideas is sometimes interrupted by awkward phrasing and repetitive sentence structures. To improve, use a wider variety of cohesive devices (e.g., 'In contrast,' 'Furthermore,' 'Regarding the...') to link ideas more smoothly. Ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic to help the reader follow the comparison between the two years more effortlessly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is functional but limited and occasionally repetitive (e.g., 'constructed,' 'remained unchanged'). There are also instances of imprecise word choices, such as 'helps beautify of museum' or 'serves the dinning needs.' To reach a higher band, aim for more sophisticated synonyms for change (e.g., 'reconfigured,' 'repurposed,' 'relocated,' 'modernized') and ensure that collocations are used naturally.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and occasionally impede the clarity of the message. Issues include article usage (e.g., 'in museum' instead of 'in the museum'), subject-verb agreement, and awkward sentence constructions (e.g., 'the fountains were designed which helps beautify of museum'). There is an attempt to use complex sentences, but they often lack accuracy. Focus on mastering basic sentence structures, correct preposition use, and the use of relative clauses to improve overall accuracy.
