Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing both maps and providing an overview. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions. The overview mentions the change in house types but does not clearly state the increase in the number of houses or the addition of new facilities. The description of the current estate is somewhat vague (e.g., 'houses are scattered') and lacks specific details like the circular path. The future plan description includes some key features (lake, tennis courts, flower garden, parkland, woodland) but omits the number of houses (25) and the reduction in trees. Some language errors (e.g., 'consist on', 'will be one flower garden') affect clarity. To improve, ensure all key details are covered and use more precise 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 unclear referencing (e.g., 'It will also connect with all houses' lacks a clear subject). The overview is brief and could better summarize the key changes. Paragraphing is acceptable, but the connection between ideas within paragraphs could be smoother. To improve, use a range of cohesive devices (e.g., 'in contrast', 'furthermore') and ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task but limited in range and precision. There are some errors in word choice and collocation (e.g., 'consist on' instead of 'consists of', 'organise way' instead of 'organized way'). The report uses some appropriate terms like 'housing estate', 'private road', and 'woodland', but could benefit from more varied and precise language (e.g., 'residential area', 'cul-de-sac', 'recreational facilities'). To improve, expand your vocabulary for describing maps and plans, and practice using correct collocations. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a mix of simple and complex sentences, but there are numerous grammatical errors that affect clarity. These include subject-verb agreement ('houses construct' should be 'houses are constructed'), incorrect prepositions ('consist on' should be 'consist of'), and missing articles ('a main road', 'a private road'). Punctuation is mostly correct, but some sentences are run-ons. To improve, review grammar rules for passive voice, prepositions, and articles, and proofread your work to eliminate these errors.
