Task Response

The report appropriately addresses the task by describing the main changes between 1950 and 2007, with a clear overall summary and organized paragraphs. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions: the industrial area is said to be replaced by a park and playground, but the report mentions a swimming pool instead; the new road and yacht marina are not mentioned; the transformation of grasslands into a multi-use area is not clearly described; and the location of the apartments is slightly inaccurate. To improve, ensure all key features from the visual are accurately represented and avoid introducing details not shown in the diagram.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear references (e.g., 'the coastline town was developed comprehensively, the significant transformation was the rural area which was dominated by grassland bustling coastal resort town'). The paragraphing is generally logical, but the second body paragraph mixes residential and entertainment details, which could be better organized. To improve, ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic and use cohesive devices more effectively to guide the reader.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a range of vocabulary appropriate for the task (e.g., 'illustrate', 'transformation', 'recreational facilities', 'multi-storey car park'). However, there are some inaccuracies and awkward collocations (e.g., 'bustling coastal resort town' is used incorrectly, 'the improvement of retail facilities was added by a row of shops' is unnatural). To achieve a higher score, aim for more precise and natural word choices, and avoid overcomplicating expressions. Use synonyms effectively but ensure they fit the context.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of sentence structures, including complex sentences. However, there are several grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect clarity (e.g., 'the significant transformation was the rural area which was dominated by grassland bustling coastal resort town' is a fragment, 'An original surface car park was in the east, it was later replaced' is a comma splice). To improve, focus on sentence boundaries, subject-verb agreement, and using articles correctly. Proofreading for these issues will enhance accuracy.
