Task Response

The report appropriately addresses the task by describing the main changes between 1995 and 2005, such as the addition of a bridge, resort, tour boat, and extended road network. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions: the report mentions 'eastern beach has been replaced by a resort,' which is not supported by the visual description, and it omits the walking track and the tour boat path. Additionally, the statement about 'northern beach' is unclear. To improve, ensure all key features from the maps are covered and avoid making unsupported claims. Focus on accurately summarizing the main developments and their locations.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs, but the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear referencing. For example, the overview lists multiple changes without clear logical grouping, and the phrase 'Starting with how the people can get from the mainland to the island, building new houses, offering a tour for the island by a boat, constructing a resort to accommodate the visitors' is a long, run-on list that is hard to follow. Additionally, the final paragraph repeats the overview and introduces new information ('eastern beach has been replaced by a resort') that is not clearly connected to the previous discussion. To improve, use clear topic sentences for each paragraph, group related changes logically, and ensure each paragraph has a single main idea. Use cohesive devices such as 'in terms of', 'regarding', or 'as for' to guide the reader.

Lexical Resource

The report uses some appropriate vocabulary related to maps and development (e.g., 'development', 'attract tourists', 'accommodate visitors', 'infrastructure developments'), but there are several issues with word choice and phrasing. For instance, 'the number of roads has increased so people can reach the beach, penguins, resort and the houses easily' is acceptable but could be more precise (e.g., 'the road network has been extended to provide easier access to...'). Also, 'the eastern beach has been replaced by a resort' is a bit vague; it would be better to say 'a resort has been built on the eastern beach area.' The phrase 'without harming the animal's life' is awkward; 'without harming the wildlife' would be more natural. To improve, expand your range of vocabulary to include more precise terms for describing changes (e.g., 'construction', 'expansion', 'addition', 'conversion') and use collocations correctly.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of grammatical structures, but there are several errors that affect clarity. For example, 'tourists can visit the island by a car ferry which it connects the mainland to the island' contains a relative clause error ('which it connects' should be 'which connects'). Also, 'the number of houses rose to 8 in 2005 instead of 3 in 1995' is correct, but the sentence 'Starting with how the people can get from the mainland to the island, building new houses, offering a tour for the island by a boat, constructing a resort to accommodate the visitors' is a fragment and lacks a main verb. Additionally, 'there are not any changes with seal's and penguins' life' is awkward; 'there were no changes to the seals' and penguins' habitats' would be better. To improve, focus on sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, and using a variety of complex sentences with accurate punctuation.
