The given maps depict how a village of Kelsbey was transformed after some improvements from 1780 to 2000.

Overall, the area witnessed urbanization and mordenization, with the most noticeable alterations being the addition of several new facilities and the development in transport links, and the clearance of green space. Additionally, the population in this village significantly increased over the period.

Looking in the maps in more detail, from 1780 to 1860 there was the construction of a bridge across the western river and roads built in the northern, providing more access for residents. In the center, two farms were demolished and the large area of woods was shanked down. Moreover, there was a doubling in the number of homes.

Another striking changes is that in the second phase, between 1860 and 2000, some shops were erected beside the river, with a newly-constructed wetland for birds nearby. In the middle of the area, more roads were built, connecting the residential area with the south. What is more, several sports fields and schools were placed in the original site of the remaining woods, which were flattened to make way for new facilities. Furthermore, the figure of homes remarkably increased from 200 to 500.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by highlighting the key transformations in the village over the specified period. The overview is clear and identifies the main trends of urbanization and infrastructure development. The body paragraphs are well-organized, logically grouping the changes by time periods. To improve, ensure that all data points are consistent with the visual information (for example, the final number of homes mentioned in the report differs from the visual description) and check for minor spelling errors such as 'mordenization' and 'shanked down' (which should be 'shrunk' or 'cleared'). Overall, the response is highly effective and covers all requirements.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized, following a logical progression from the overview to specific chronological details. The use of cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'Looking in the maps in more detail', 'Moreover', and 'What is more' helps guide the reader through the timeline effectively. To reach a higher band, ensure that transitions between sentences feel even more seamless and less formulaic. The paragraphing is appropriate and supports the structure of the comparison.

Lexical Resource

The candidate uses a good range of vocabulary to describe changes, such as 'transformed', 'witnessed urbanization', 'demolished', and 'erected'. However, there are some issues with word choice and spelling. For example, 'mordenization' is a misspelling of 'modernization', and 'shanked down' is an incorrect usage (perhaps 'shrunk' or 'cleared' was intended). Using more precise academic collocations would enhance the sophistication of the report.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a variety of complex structures, including passive voice and subordinate clauses, which are essential for describing processes and changes. However, there are several grammatical slips: 'Another striking changes is' (subject-verb agreement error), 'the figure of homes' (awkward phrasing; 'the number of homes' is more natural), and 'Looking in the maps' (preposition error; 'Looking at the maps' is correct). Improving accuracy in subject-verb agreement and preposition usage will help elevate the score.
