The maps illustrate the changes implemented at a zoo in Australia from 1960 to the present day.

Overall, the zoo underwent a major redevelopment where two new entrances, one ferry, and one 2-way cafe car has been introduced. Subsequently, few spots swaped their position with each other, while harbour, picnic area, and walkways remained unchanged still today.

In 1960, the place for Africian animals and Australian animals used to be on the west side from main walkway. On the opposite side, there were two walkways, one directed towards to the place for birds and seal show, while another directed to chimpanzees. The harbour was situated in north side throughout the whole zoo. Gift shop was in the south close to the main walkway while picnic area was on the east side of the zoo.

Today, after major development, the zoo introduced 2 new entrances, where one at the starting of main walkway and another leads visitors towards a newly added ferry on harbour at the north. A place for wild animals is introduced replacing African animals position. Chimpanzees place is being removed and now replaced with African animals and seal show. Previous seal show walkway path now leads to the one end of the cafe car, while another end is situated in the east side of gift shop. The gift shop now upgraded into 2 floors, while the whole picnic area along with benches and tress remained same.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by providing an overview and describing key changes. It covers the main features such as new entrances, the ferry, the cable car, and the relocation of animal exhibits. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions, such as the description of the gift shop as '2 floors' (not mentioned in the visual) and the claim that the picnic area remained unchanged (the visual suggests it may have been relocated). Additionally, some phrasing is unclear (e.g., '2-way cafe car' instead of 'cable car') and there are minor grammatical errors. To improve, ensure all details are accurate and clearly expressed, and avoid introducing information not present in the visual.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and two body paragraphs. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear references (e.g., 'one 2-way cafe car', 'the one end of the cafe car'). The overview is present but could be more concise and better integrated. Paragraphing is logical, but the use of cohesive devices is sometimes inaccurate or repetitive. To improve, ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic and that transitions between ideas are smooth and natural.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, such as 'redevelopment', 'introduced', 'replacing', and 'upgraded'. However, there are several spelling errors (e.g., 'Africian', 'swaped', 'tress') and some awkward word choices (e.g., '2-way cafe car', 'cafe car' instead of 'cable car'). The range of vocabulary is adequate but not fully flexible or sophisticated. To improve, focus on accurate spelling and use more precise and varied terms to describe changes and locations.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report attempts to use a variety of sentence structures, but there are numerous grammatical errors that affect clarity. Examples include subject-verb agreement ('one 2-way cafe car has been introduced' should be 'has been introduced' but the subject is singular, so it's correct, but 'few spots swaped' should be 'few spots swapped'), incorrect verb forms ('is being removed' is used but the tense is inconsistent), and missing articles ('the place for Africian animals' should be 'the place for African animals'). Punctuation is mostly correct, but the overall accuracy is limited. To improve, review grammar rules for tense consistency, subject-verb agreement, and article usage, and proofread carefully.
