The two maps illustrate how a town called Darwin changed from 2009 to 2014.

Overall, the town underwent significant changes, with the most noticeable ones being the replacement of an industrial area by new facilities and the addition of a harbour.

In 2009, there was a sea running along the east side with two swimming pools nearby. In the center of the town, there were two industrial areas separated by footpaths. A small group of houses was located in the north of a large industrial area, while a lake and a few trees lied to the south of a smaller one. Behind the smaller industrial area were a school and a convention center. A fishing area was positioned to the northwest of the town.

By 2024, a harbour had been added to the southeast of the town and we could access it via a new footpath. The large industrial area had been removed to make way for a wooded area, a university building, and many houses. The other industrial area had been converted into a swimming pool. Apart from these changes, the fishing area, the lake, the school and the convention area remained.

Task Response

The report provides a clear and well-structured overview of the changes, with a logical organization and appropriate use of vocabulary. It accurately identifies the main transformations, such as the removal of the industrial area and the addition of a harbour. However, there are a few inaccuracies and omissions: the report mentions 'two swimming pools' in 2009, but the visual description indicates only one; it states 'by 2024' instead of 'by 2014'; and it omits the expansion of trees and the specific location of the university relative to the lake. To improve, ensure all dates and details are accurate and consider mentioning all key changes, such as the spread of trees and the university's position.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear overall statement followed by detailed paragraphs for each time period. The use of cohesive devices is natural and unobtrusive, and paragraphing is well managed. The progression of ideas is easy to follow, and the description flows smoothly from one point to the next.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is appropriate and varied, with good use of terms like 'underwent significant changes', 'replacement', 'converted', and 'make way for'. There is a good range of expressions, but some phrases could be more sophisticated, such as using 'located' instead of 'positioned' and 'to the southeast' instead of 'to the southeast of the town'. Overall, the lexical resource is strong and conveys the information clearly.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a wide range of grammatical structures used accurately and flexibly. Sentences are well-constructed, and there are no punctuation or grammar errors.
