The diagram illustrates the changes in the floor plan of a public library between 20 years ago and now.

Overall, the floor plan is vastly modernised over the given period. The tables and chairs are replaced by Sofas, and there is an addition of self-service machines. There is also an addition of a Cafe inside the library.

20 years ago, the library had 3 rooms inside the premises. There was one reading room for reading newspapers and magazines, near the entrance of the library. The two rooms at the back end of the library displayed the collections of children’s books and CDs, videos, computer games respectively. The enquiry desk was present next to the entrance, and the free space in the hall had tables and chairs to sit, along with collection of Adult fiction and non-fiction books. The Central Library today has 4 rooms – Cafe, a Lecture room, a Computer Room and a room for hosting functions like storytelling events. The hall stores the collection of all reference books, adult fiction books, an information desk and self-service machines.

While the Library had a separate room reading room 20 years ago, it is replaced by a dedicated room to use computers. The Enquiry desk which took a large space next to the entrance, is removed to make way for a Cafe, and a small information desk alsong with self-service machines. Overall, the hall in the library is more spacious compared to 20 years ago.

Task Response

The report addresses the task and provides an overall description of the changes, but it contains several inaccuracies and omissions. For instance, it mentions a 'Lecture room' in the current layout, which is not present in the visual description, and it omits key areas such as the 'Lounge room' and the relocated 'Library desk issues.' Additionally, the report incorrectly states that the enquiry desk was removed, whereas it was relocated. The structure is logical, but the data inaccuracies in key areas detract from the task achievement. To improve, ensure all main features from the visual are accurately described and avoid introducing details not shown in the diagram.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction and an overall summary, and it attempts to organize the information by time periods. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by unclear referencing and abrupt transitions. For example, the phrase 'The two rooms at the back end of the library' is vague, and the shift from describing the past layout to the present layout could be smoother. The final paragraph introduces new details (e.g., the removal of the enquiry desk) that could have been integrated earlier to improve logical progression. To improve, use clearer cohesive devices (e.g., 'in contrast', 'similarly') and ensure each paragraph has a clear central idea.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a reasonable range of vocabulary related to library facilities (e.g., 'premises', 'collections', 'enquiry desk', 'self-service machines'), and some attempts at paraphrasing are evident. However, there are instances of imprecise word choice and repetition (e.g., 'rooms' is used repeatedly, and 'alsong' is a typo for 'along'). The phrase 'vastly modernised' is slightly informal, and 'free space in the hall' could be expressed more precisely. To improve, aim for more varied and precise vocabulary (e.g., 'layout', 'designated areas', 'relocated') and avoid informal or vague terms.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. For example, 'the tables and chairs are replaced by Sofas' should be 'the tables and chairs have been replaced by sofas' (capitalization and tense issues). 'The Central Library today has 4 rooms - Cafe, a Lecture room, a Computer Room and a room for hosting functions like storytelling events' has inconsistent article use and punctuation. 'alsong' is a typo for 'along'. The sentence 'While the Library had a separate room reading room 20 years ago' is grammatically incorrect (should be 'a separate reading room'). To improve, proofread carefully, ensure subject-verb agreement, and use a wider range of complex structures with accuracy.
