The map demonstrates the structural change of a library between 1975 and the current time. Overall, the design of the library is now larger, modern and inclusive compared to its former version.

In 1975, the library comprised a section for magazines to the left of the entrace with an area for new books to the right of the library’s opening. In front of the magazine section were four bookshelves and the librarians’ resources to its right. To the south of this area was a small study area. The room ended with a bookshelf to the left corner, toilet at the center, and childrens’ books to the right corner.

At present, the library is more spacious compared to before. The library now has a bigger study area with additional sitting and study spaces. Modern addition include computers, door for disabled individuals, option for self check-in, and other amenities such as coffee machine.

Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing the main changes in the library layout, but it contains some inaccuracies and omissions. For instance, it mentions the library is 'larger' and 'more spacious,' which is not supported by the visual description, and it omits key changes such as the relocation of the new books section, the addition of sofas, and the repositioning of the entrance features. The report also includes minor spelling errors ('entrace', 'childrens') and informal phrasing ('Modern addition include'). To improve, ensure all main changes are covered accurately and use more precise academic language.

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 a lack of cohesive devices. For example, the transition from the 1975 description to the present is abrupt, and the final paragraph lists changes without clear connections. To improve, use a wider range of linking words and phrases (e.g., 'in contrast', 'furthermore', 'while') and ensure each paragraph has a clear topic sentence that guides the reader.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is generally appropriate for the task, with some good use of terms like 'comprised', 'spacious', and 'amenities'. However, there are some inaccuracies and repetitions (e.g., 'bookshelves' used twice, 'library' repeated). The range of vocabulary is limited, and some phrases are not precise (e.g., 'structural change' could be 'reconfiguration'). To improve, use more varied and precise vocabulary, such as 'layout', 'relocated', 'expanded', and 'facilities', and avoid repetition by using synonyms.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a mix of simple and complex sentences, but there are several grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect clarity. For example, 'entrace' should be 'entrance', 'childrens' should be 'children's', and 'Modern addition include' should be 'Modern additions include'. Additionally, some sentences are incomplete or awkwardly structured. To improve, proofread carefully for spelling and subject-verb agreement, and vary sentence structures to demonstrate greater grammatical range.
