The maps below compare a layout of a village in the west of Ireland between 2000 and nowadays

By comparing 2000 and the present time, certain developments are noticeable. Overall, it is evident that the residential area was expanded owing to constructed carpark and restaurants, and it was totally converted into a tourist place since 2000.

One of the most striking features is that the farmland was replaced by a new park in the northwestern corner of the map, which enhances ecological environment. Moreover, the dock was removed, and the market area underwent a removing due to construction of a restaurant zone.

Turning to the residential zone, the most essential change is that the number of houses has increased significantly from four to thirteen. Furthermore, a new residential area was added near by the hotel in the eastern part of the map. In addition, the car park experienced an extension next to the hotel. This change has affected the use of transport on the village’s main road.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by describing the main changes between the two maps and making comparisons. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, an overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions: the shop is not mentioned, the location of the new car park is described as 'next to the hotel' but the visual description indicates it is near the housing area, and the statement about the village being 'totally converted into a tourist place' is an overgeneralization. To improve, ensure all key features are covered and descriptions align more closely with the visual information. Additionally, avoid subjective interpretations and focus on factual reporting.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically structured and the message is generally clear. However, the opening sentence could be more precise (e.g., 'between 2000 and the present day' instead of 'between 2000 and nowadays'). The use of cohesive devices like 'One of the most striking features' and 'Turning to' helps guide the reader, but some transitions feel slightly abrupt. Paragraphing is adequate but could be more skillfully managed to separate different types of changes more clearly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is appropriate and shows some range (e.g., 'enhances ecological environment', 'underwent a removing'). However, there are a few awkward or imprecise phrases, such as 'constructed carpark' (should be 'a car park was built') and 'totally converted into a tourist place' (could be more natural, e.g., 'transformed into a tourist destination'). Overall, the lexical choices are adequate but lack the sophistication and naturalness of a band 9.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a mix of simple and complex structures, but there are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. For example, 'owing to constructed carpark and restaurants' is grammatically incorrect; 'the market area underwent a removing' is ungrammatical (should be 'was removed'); 'near by the hotel' should be 'near the hotel'. Punctuation is mostly correct, but the errors in grammar and phrasing prevent the report from achieving a higher score.
