The two maps compare the current layout of housing estate with a proposed plan for its future development.

Overall, the housing estate will undergo considerable changes, particularly in the decreased amount of woodland and the construction of one, two, three-bedroom houses. Furthermore, while the main road will remain in the same position while more amenities will be built.

In the current layout, the housing estate has about 6000 trees. There is a road which runs along the northwest to the northeast and connects to a private road at two different points. In the center, several houses are situated near the private road and are surrounded by woodland.

Under the development, there will be only 250 trees left in the area. Meanwhile, the main road will still remain unchanged and a new private road will be constructed with a loop around a flower garden in the center. Moreover, four-bedroom houses will be demolished and one, two, three-bedroom houses will be built near the garden with parkland scatter around. To the west of the road, a lake will be situated.

Task Response

The report provides a clear and relevant overview, correctly identifying the main changes: the reduction in woodland, the replacement of four-bedroom houses with smaller ones, and the addition of new amenities. The structure is logical, with an introduction, overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, there are a few minor inaccuracies and omissions: the description of the road's direction is slightly unclear, the location of the tennis courts is not precisely described, and the report does not mention the parkland in the overview. To improve, ensure all key features from the visual are covered and avoid minor imprecisions in spatial descriptions.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. The use of cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'Furthermore', 'Meanwhile', and 'Moreover' helps the reader follow the description. However, there are minor lapses in cohesion, such as the phrase 'In additional' which disrupts flow, and the sentence 'while the main road will remain in the same position while more amenities will be built' contains a repetitive use of 'while' that slightly affects clarity. To improve, ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic and use a variety of linking words accurately.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, including terms like 'layout', 'proposed plan', 'considerable changes', 'demolished', and 'scatter around'. There is evidence of flexibility in word choice. However, some phrasing is not entirely natural or precise, such as 'parkland scatter around' (should be 'scattered around') and 'In additional' (should be 'In addition'). To achieve a higher score, aim for more sophisticated and precise lexical choices, and ensure collocations are used correctly.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, with some accurate use of future forms and passive voice. However, there are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that detract from overall accuracy. Examples include 'In additional' (incorrect phrase), 'parkland scatter around' (missing verb form), and the sentence 'while the main road will remain in the same position while more amenities will be built' which is grammatically awkward. To improve, proofread for common errors, ensure subject-verb agreement, and vary sentence structures while maintaining accuracy.
