Overall, the area will become considerably more developed. However, some features will remain unchanged. Of particular note, a meeting area, a coffee area, an outdoor seating area and a few office rooms will be introduced to the area.

At present, there are two empty areas, surrounded by grass, located on the western and eastern sides. The main entrance is located on the southeast side, and inside the office there are a few offices on the left-hand side of the entrance. Opposite these offices are the kitchen, the canteen and the storage room, which run from the northwest to northeast. On the corner of the office there is WCs on the north-east side, which are located close to the stock room.

In the future, the empty areas will be significantly developed and transformed. On the west side, there will be some new branches introduced to allow workers to take breaks from the work routine. On the east side, the empty area will be turned into a meeting room, by adding some sofas.The WCs will be moved to the eastern side of the meeting area, and a coffee area will be added to the left of the WCs. The main entrance will be moved to the centre on the south side by removing two offices. On the left side of the entrance, there are two offices that will be merged into one large office. The kitchen and the canteen will be converted into offices. However, the stock room will be remained in the same location.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by describing both the present and future layouts, and it includes an overall summary. The organization is clear, with separate paragraphs for the current and future states. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions: the report refers to 'schools' instead of 'offices', misidentifies the entrance location (southeast vs. central), and inaccurately describes the future layout (e.g., the meeting area is not on the east side, and the kitchen/canteen are removed, not converted into offices). Additionally, the report omits the outdoor seating area on the west side and the central reception area. To improve, ensure the terminology matches the task, verify the spatial relationships, and include all key changes. Overall, the response is relevant and generally well-structured, but these lapses prevent it from achieving a higher score.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized and easy to follow, with a clear overall structure and logical progression from the present to the future layout. The use of cohesive devices is generally effective, and paragraphing is managed well. However, there are a few minor lapses in cohesion, such as the abrupt transition in the future paragraph when describing the entrance move and the merging of offices. To improve, ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic and that transitions between ideas are smoother.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary with some precise and appropriate terms (e.g., 'layout', 'transformed', 'converted', 'merged'). There is evidence of flexibility and control, but some phrasing is slightly awkward or informal (e.g., 'a few office rooms', 'new branches introduced', 'take breaks from the work routine'). To reach a higher band, use more sophisticated and precise vocabulary, and avoid repetitive or vague expressions. For example, use 'relocated' instead of 'moved', and 'designated area' instead of 'empty areas'. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a variety of sentence structures with good control, and most sentences are grammatically correct. There are a few minor errors and awkward phrasings, such as 'the stock room will be remained' (should be 'will remain') and 'On the corner of the office there is WCs' (should be 'there are WCs'). Also, some sentences are a bit long and could be broken down for clarity. Overall, the grammar is accurate enough to convey the message clearly, but eliminating these minor errors would improve the score.
