The image contains two maps labeled "Norbiton industrial area now" and "Planned future development." The first map shows an industrial area with a factory located to the northeast, a town to the southwest, and farmland to the northwest. A main road runs horizontally in the center of the map with three connecting roads leading to the factory, town, and farmland. The second map illustrates planned future developments which include the addition of housing in the area currently occupied by the farmland and a playground adjacent to the housing on the northwest side. The main road and connecting roads remain unchanged, while the factory and town retain their original positions.

Given the complexity of the image, the above description may not be entirely accurate.

The two maps exhibit an industrial district in Norbiton town, and prepared future development of the area.

Overall, currently the town has many factories, which are arranged around the city. In addition, the area has one roundabout, and a farmland, which is established on a river bank. In the future, the industrial area will undergo significant changes, and many other buildings are already planned to be built instead of the factories.

To commence, there are approximately 8 factories, which are situated in the eastern and western parts of the town. There is a roundabout in the center of Norbiton and a farmland, which is located in the northern part, near the river coast.

Nevertheless, in the future all the factories will be demolished and about 7 housing buildings will be constructed. These facilities are planned to be built in the eastern, northern, and western parts. For this reason, the farmland will be relocated to the right side. Moreover, a bridge will be built in the north of Norbiton. In addition, a playground, a school, some shops, and a medical center will be established as well. Another roundabout will be constructed near the medical center.

Task Response

The report generally addresses the task by describing the current and planned future development of the Norbiton industrial area. However, there are several inaccuracies and irrelevant details. For example, the report mentions 'many factories' and 'approximately 8 factories,' while the visual description indicates only one factory. It also incorrectly states that the farmland is on a river bank and that all factories will be demolished, which is not supported by the visual description. The report includes some relevant information about new housing, a playground, a school, shops, and a medical center, but the inclusion of inaccurate material detracts from the overall task achievement. To improve, focus on accurately describing the key features shown in the maps and avoid adding unsupported details.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear overall structure, including an introduction, an overview, and a detailed comparison. However, the flow could be improved by using more varied cohesive devices and ensuring that the logical progression between sentences is smoother. For instance, the transition from the current state to future plans could be more seamless. Consider using linking phrases like 'In terms of future changes' or 'Turning to the planned development' to enhance coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and demonstrates a good range, with terms like 'demolished', 'relocated', and 'constructed'. However, there is some repetition (e.g., 'factories', 'built') and a few imprecise choices (e.g., 'arranged around the city' could be more specific). To achieve a higher score, aim for more sophisticated and varied lexical items, such as 'undergo redevelopment', 'residential units', or 'infrastructure additions'. Also, ensure that terms like 'river coast' are replaced with more accurate expressions like 'riverbank'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences with relative clauses and passive voice. Punctuation and grammar are largely accurate, with only minor issues (e.g., 'a farmland' should be 'farmland' as it is uncountable). The use of tenses is consistent and appropriate. To reach a band 9, aim for even greater variety in sentence structures and ensure flawless accuracy throughout.
