Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing both the present and future layouts, and includes some comparisons. However, there are several inaccuracies and omissions that detract from the overall task achievement. For instance, the overview mentions that grass spaces will be removed, but the visual description indicates that grass remains on the right side. Additionally, the report incorrectly states that the kitchen and canteen are converted into offices, whereas the description says the kitchen remains. The report also omits key details such as the relocation of offices, the outdoor sitting area, and the meeting area placement. To improve, ensure that the overview accurately summarizes the main changes, and include all significant features and comparisons from the visual information.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear referencing. For example, 'its in the future' is confusing, and the overview could be more concise. The paragraphing is adequate but could be improved by more logical grouping of information. Ensure that each paragraph focuses on a clear aspect (e.g., present layout, future changes) and use cohesive devices more effectively to guide the reader.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is generally appropriate for the task, with some good attempts at paraphrasing (e.g., 'proposed layout', 'relocated WC'). However, there are several spelling errors (e.g., 'reseperated', 'acessible', 'are' for 'area') and some imprecise word choices (e.g., 'demolished' for grass area, 'converted into' for kitchen and canteen). To improve, use a wider range of precise vocabulary and ensure correct spelling. Also, avoid repetition of 'office' and 'grass' by using synonyms.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a mix of simple and complex structures, but there are several grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, 'the maps given compare the layout of an office building of the present and its in the future' is grammatically incorrect. Also, 'offering employers opportunities' should be 'offering employees opportunities', and 'the opposite side of them are' should be 'on the opposite side are'. Punctuation is mostly correct, but there are missing capital letters at the beginning of sentences. To improve, proofread carefully and practice using a variety of sentence structures with accurate grammar.
