The map shows the plan for a new town. It shows where the houses, factories and parks will be, and how the roads connect them.

Overall, the town is built around a centre with shops, and a ring road goes all the way around it. Houses, factories and parks are placed around this centre, and roads connect all these areas together.

In the middle of the town is the town centre, which has shops, two parking areas and two bus stations. This makes it easy for people to reach the centre from anywhere in the town. Around the centre is a ring road, and several roads lead out from it to other parts of the town.

Most of the town is covered by housing, which is found in the west, south-west and south. This means most people will live close to the town centre. Factories, on the other hand, are found in the east and south-east, away from most of the houses. This is probably to keep noise and pollution away from homes. Parks are located in the north and in the east, near the factories, giving people green spaces away from the busy centre.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by describing the layout and key features of the proposed town. It provides a clear overall summary and organizes information logically. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions: the report mentions two bus stations, but the visual description indicates only one; it states housing is in the west, south-west, and south, but the plan shows four housing areas in all quadrants; it places factories in the east and south-east, but the industry zone is in the south; and parks are described as near factories, but they are located on all four sides outside the ring road. To improve, ensure details align more closely with the visual information and avoid making assumptions not supported by the diagram.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized and easy to follow. The overall structure is clear, with a brief introduction, an overview paragraph, and then more detailed paragraphs. The use of cohesive devices like 'Overall', 'In the middle', 'This means', and 'On the other hand' helps the reader navigate the description. However, the paragraphing could be slightly more refined; for instance, the second paragraph could be more clearly separated into an overview and a more detailed description. The flow is generally smooth, but a few transitions could be more sophisticated.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and generally accurate. Words like 'encircled', 'quadrantly', 'strategically placed' from the visual description are not used, but the student uses simpler terms like 'ring road', 'housing areas', 'recreational sections' which are clear. There is some good variety, such as 'covered by housing', 'keep noise and pollution away', and 'green spaces'. However, the range could be wider, and the phrasing could be more precise and sophisticated. For example, instead of 'a ring road goes all the way around it', a more concise phrase like 'encircled by a ring road' could be used. Overall, the lexical resource is adequate but not highly sophisticated. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is largely accurate and the sentences are well-constructed. The student uses a mix of simple and complex structures, such as 'which is found in the west, south-west and south' and 'This is probably to keep noise and pollution away from homes'. Punctuation is used correctly. There are no major grammatical errors. The report demonstrates good control of grammar, though there is room for a wider range of structures, such as more varied subordinate clauses or passive constructions. The overall accuracy is high.
