The images illustrate the layout of university campus at present and after renovation planned for the future.

Overall, a comparison of the two maps reveals that the university campus is expected to witness significant transformation, with addition of new amenities – student centre and new parking areas, and the modification and relocation of existing facilities, such as a library, academic buildings, and the research centre.

Today, university campus has limited range of facilities. On the northern part of the campus, library is situated and next to it there are three academic buildings. Child care center can be found on the southern side of the campus. Research center is located almost at the center of the campus and bus stop is opposite to childcare center. On the south-east part of the campus parking is situated and above of it there are three academic buildings adjacent to trees. Notably, at present university campus include 25,000 students.

After 5 years, the university campus is predicted to have a wide range of facilities, addition of new parking area is planning to construct at the top of the campus. On the north part of the campus, a new student center is expected to build which is occupying by the library. Another notable change will be a new train station on the eastern side of the campus. There are central avenue with trees predicted to reduce the number of trees and also new parking area is expected to locate on the north side of the map. In addition, students’ number is expecting to increase to 36,000, and bus stop, a child care, west gate, and main gate predicted to stay steady.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by comparing the current layout with the planned future expansion. It identifies key changes, such as the addition of the student centre, the train station, and the increase in student capacity. The overview is clear and provides a good summary of the main trends. To improve, ensure more precise descriptions of spatial relationships and avoid minor grammatical errors regarding verb tenses (e.g., 'is planning to construct' should be 'is planned to be constructed'). Additionally, while the report mentions the relocation of the library, more clarity on the specific movement of other buildings would strengthen the response.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure, moving from an introduction and overview to specific details about the present and future states. However, the progression within paragraphs could be smoother. Some cohesive devices are used, but there is a reliance on simple sentence structures and repetitive transitions (e.g., 'On the north part', 'On the south-east part'). To improve, try using more varied linking words and complex sentence structures to connect ideas more fluidly, such as using relative clauses (e.g., 'The library, which is currently located in the north, will be replaced by...') instead of starting every sentence with a prepositional phrase of location.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for describing the maps, and you have correctly identified the main changes. However, there is some repetition and a lack of sophisticated word choices. For example, 'addition of new' is used multiple times. Instead of 'is planning to construct' or 'is expected to build', consider using more formal passive constructions like 'is slated for construction' or 'is projected to be established'. Additionally, ensure that word forms are used correctly (e.g., 'students' number' should be 'the number of students').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical accuracy is the main area for improvement. There are frequent errors in article usage (e.g., 'the university campus', 'a student centre'), subject-verb agreement, and passive voice construction (e.g., 'is planning to construct' instead of 'is planned to be constructed', and 'is occupying by' instead of 'will occupy the space previously held by'). There are also issues with prepositional usage and sentence fragments. To improve, focus on mastering the passive voice, as it is essential for describing planned changes in Task 1, and pay close attention to the use of definite and indefinite articles.
