Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing both office layouts, but it contains some inaccuracies and omissions. For example, it mentions '8 chairs' in the American office, which is not supported by the visual description (which indicates 7 chairs in cubicles). Additionally, the description of the Japanese office is somewhat vague and does not clearly convey the arrangement of desks and chairs. The report lacks a clear comparison between the two offices, which is a key requirement of the task. To improve, focus on accurately describing the key features and making explicit comparisons, while ensuring all details are relevant and correct.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction and separate paragraphs for each office, but the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear referencing. For example, 'Starting from typical Japanese office' and 'Turning to the typical American office' are acceptable transitions, but the description of the American office lacks a logical order, jumping between locations without clear signposting. The use of 'easter side' and 'western side' is imprecise, and the final sentence about doors is abrupt. To improve, use clearer spatial language (e.g., 'on the left/right', 'in the north-east corner') and ensure each paragraph has a clear topic sentence and logical progression.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is basic and repetitive, with limited range. Words like 'located', 'side', and 'building' are overused. There is some attempt at variety (e.g., 'divided', 'just above'), but the report lacks precise and sophisticated vocabulary expected for a high band score. For instance, instead of 'easter side' and 'western side', use 'east side' and 'west side' or 'left-hand side' and 'right-hand side'. Also, 'printer copier' should be 'printer/copier room', and 'conference room' should be 'conference rooms'. To improve, learn and use a wider range of location and layout vocabulary, such as 'adjacent to', 'opposite', 'in the centre', 'along the wall', and 'partitioned cubicles'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect clarity. For example, 'The given graph illustrates the difference between typical Japanese and American office' should be '...between a typical Japanese and a typical American office'. 'There are two conference room' should be 'There are two conference rooms'. 'There are two section manager and department manager' should be 'There are two section managers and a department manager'. Also, 'printer copier' should be 'printer/copier'. The sentence 'Starting from typical Japanese office' is missing an article. The report uses simple sentence structures with limited variety. To improve, practice using a mix of simple, compound, and complex sentences, and proofread for subject-verb agreement and article usage.
