The maps compare changes in the University of the Woodwards from 1985 till now.

Overall, we can see that the town experienced significant changes. Science laboratories are built instead of physics, biology, and chemistry blocks. Both car parks were demolished and replaced by lecture theatre and shuttle bus terminal. In addition, all the streets in the city have become smaller.

In 1985, the University had two car parks and both parks were located not far from each other. Additionally, first car park occupied the largest place. Shuttle bus terminal and lecture theatre were built instead of both car parks. In contrast, the number of all streets increased and become smaller.

A scientific laboratory building was constructed in the northeast, also physics, chemistry and biology blocks removed. In 1985, admin building was occupied in the southern east but now this building changed its location and footpaths were added to the southern side of the building.

Task Response

The report addresses the main changes between the two maps, such as the replacement of science blocks with laboratories and the removal of car parks. However, there are some inaccuracies in the description of the layout. For instance, the report mentions that 'streets in the city' became smaller, whereas the task is specifically about a university campus, and the visual description refers to footpaths rather than a city street network. Additionally, the claim that the admin building changed its location is not clearly supported by the visual description provided. To improve, ensure that the terminology used remains strictly relevant to the context (university campus vs. city) and focus on accurately describing the spatial relationships and transformations shown in the maps.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure, but the progression of ideas is sometimes interrupted by awkward phrasing. While there is an attempt to use cohesive devices (e.g., 'Overall', 'In addition', 'In contrast'), they are not always used effectively to link ideas smoothly. To improve, focus on using a wider variety of transition signals and ensure that each paragraph has a clear, central topic sentence that guides the reader through the comparison.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is functional but repetitive and occasionally inaccurate. For example, referring to a university layout as a 'town' or 'city' is inappropriate for the context. There is also a limited range of verbs used to describe change (e.g., 'built', 'removed'). To reach a higher band, try to use more precise academic synonyms for transformation, such as 'redeveloped', 'consolidated', 'transformed', or 'modernized', and ensure the terminology matches the subject matter (e.g., 'campus' instead of 'city').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors, particularly regarding article usage (e.g., 'first car park', 'admin building') and tense consistency. There are also issues with sentence structure, such as 'physics, chemistry and biology blocks removed', which lacks a necessary auxiliary verb. Aim to use a more diverse range of complex sentence structures and pay close attention to subject-verb agreement and the correct use of definite and indefinite articles to improve clarity and precision.
