Task Response

The report covers the main changes between the current and proposed layouts and provides a clear overview of the redevelopment. Key features such as the expansion of office space and the replacement of the grass area are identified. To improve, ensure more precise descriptions of spatial relationships and avoid repetitive phrasing. Some minor grammatical inaccuracies regarding tense and word choice (e.g., 'the grass is projected to build services') slightly affect the clarity, but the overall comparison is sufficient to meet the task requirements.

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. The use of cohesive devices is somewhat repetitive or used incorrectly (e.g., 'In addition' in the overview is not quite appropriate for the context). To improve, focus on using a wider variety of linking words and ensure that each sentence flows naturally into the next to guide the reader through the spatial changes more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is sufficient to convey the basic changes, but there is a lack of precision and variety. Phrases like 'will look like after a redevelopment' or 'the grass is projected to build services' are unnatural. There is also some repetition of words like 'range' and 'projected'. Aim to use more specific architectural and spatial vocabulary, such as 'reconfigured', 'relocated', 'converted', or 'repurposed', to describe the changes in the floor plan.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex structures, but there are frequent errors in grammar and sentence construction. For example, 'how an office building will look like' is a common error (it should be 'what it will look like' or 'how it will look'). There are also issues with prepositional use and verb tense consistency when describing future plans. Work on mastering the use of passive voice (e.g., 'the grass area is expected to be replaced') and ensuring that subject-verb agreement and article usage are consistent throughout the text.
