The maps illustrate the alterations that took place between 1995 and the present.

Overall, the area underwent several dramatic changes. Among them, the most important developments are the introduction of recreational facilities and the addition of accommodation facilities to improve accessibility within the area.

The northwest of the area saw a number of changes, with more houses being added alongside the existing road, while a new path was also constructed to connect new residential areas with the main road. Moving to the northeastern section, the former farmland was expanded and repurposed into a golf playground, whereas the forest park was cleared to make way for new tennis courts, becoming a recreational space for residents.

In the southwest corner of the area, a row of shops was converted into restaurants, and the fish market was removed to allow room for a row of apartments, with the removal of the fishing port in the south, making it become a residential area. Meanwhile, in the southeast, a new park was constructed adjacent to the hotel, whereas the cafe remained unchanged over time.

Task Response

The report provides a clear overview and covers the main changes between 1995 and the present. It is well-organized and makes relevant comparisons. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions: for example, the report states that the cafe remained unchanged, but according to the visual, it was relocated southeast. Also, the report mentions the addition of houses and a new path, which are not clearly indicated in the visual description. The fish market removal and apartment addition are correctly noted, but the fishing port removal is mentioned, which is not in the visual. The golf course and tennis courts are correctly identified, but the forest park removal is not explicitly stated. Overall, the response addresses the task well, but could be more precise in reporting the changes.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized and logically structured, with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs that group related changes. The use of cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'Meanwhile', and 'whereas' helps the reader follow the description. However, there are minor lapses in cohesion, such as the phrase 'becoming a recreational space for residents' which could be more clearly linked to the preceding clause. Additionally, the final sentence about the cafe could be better integrated with the surrounding information. Overall, the message is easy to follow and paragraphing is effective.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary with appropriate use of terms like 'alterations', 'repurposed', 'cleared to make way', and 'converted into'. The language is generally precise and natural. However, there are a few inaccuracies, such as 'golf playground' which is not a standard term (should be 'golf course'), and 'a row of shops' may not be accurate if the visual shows a single shop. The phrase 'making it become' is slightly awkward. To achieve a higher score, aim for more sophisticated and precise lexical choices, and ensure that all terms are used accurately.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a variety of sentence structures, including complex sentences with subordinate clauses, and demonstrates good control of grammar and punctuation. There are very few errors, and those present are minor, such as 'making it become' which is slightly ungrammatical (should be 'making it a residential area' or 'turning it into a residential area'). The overall grammatical accuracy is high, and the report is easy to read. To reach a band 9, ensure that all structures are used with complete flexibility and that there are no awkward phrasings.
