The pictures depict how a historic site changed over the time frame of ten years, from 2004 to 2014, as intensive excavation was carried out and more ancient constructions were discovered

Overall, only a few structures have been found before 2004, with all of them concentrating on the coastline, below a mountain range. As archaeological activities continue until 2014, the left side of the map, which was left uncovered in 2004, revealed many more structures.

As the site underwent excavation until 2014, many more amenities were uncovered, especially ones lying below the forest on the left of the map. Below the mountain range, there were a group of 7 ancient houses adjacent to each other, while in the space next to them, there was an ancient toilet overlooking an ancient stadium just above the wooded areas. On the south side, next to the ancient temple, an ancient palace was constructed.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by describing the main changes between 2004 and 2014, with a clear overview and appropriate organization. It covers the key developments, such as the discovery of new structures on the left side and the addition of the palace. There are minor inaccuracies (e.g., the number of houses and the exact location of the stadium) and some omissions (e.g., the grouping of houses in 2014), but these do not detract significantly from the overall response. To improve, ensure that all key features are accurately described and that the report remains concise and focused on the most important changes.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized with a clear overall structure, including an introduction, an overview, and a detailed comparison. The use of cohesive devices is generally effective, and the progression of ideas is logical. However, there are minor lapses in cohesion, such as the phrase 'Below the mountain range' which could be more clearly linked to the previous sentence, and the final sentence could be better connected to the preceding content. Overall, the message is easy to follow, and paragraphing is managed well.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary with appropriate use of terms like 'excavation', 'uncovered', 'amenities', and 'overlooking'. The language is generally natural and precise. There are a few minor issues, such as 'concentrating on the coastline' which could be more naturally phrased as 'concentrated along the coastline', and 'a group of 7 ancient houses' could be more sophisticated as 'a cluster of seven ancient houses'. Overall, the lexical resource is strong and shows flexibility.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a variety of sentence structures, including complex sentences, and demonstrates good grammatical control. There are a few minor errors and phrasing issues, such as 'over the time frame of ten years' (which is slightly redundant) and 'all of them concentrating on the coastline' (which should be 'all of them concentrated along the coastline'). Additionally, the phrase 'there were a group' should be 'there was a group'. These are minor and do not impede understanding, but they prevent a perfect score. Overall, the grammar is accurate and appropriate.
