Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing the current and planned housing estate, and includes an overview. However, the overview is somewhat vague and the description lacks specific comparisons between the two maps. Some key details are mentioned, but the report could be more precise and organized. There are minor inaccuracies (e.g., '60000 trees' instead of 6000) and some language issues that affect clarity. To improve, focus on clearly contrasting the changes, using accurate data from the maps, and structuring the response with a clear introduction, overview, and detailed paragraphs. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a basic structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs, but the progression of ideas is sometimes unclear due to grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. Cohesive devices are limited and occasionally misused. To improve, focus on clear paragraphing and use a wider range of linking words to guide the reader smoothly through the comparison.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate for the task but lacks sophistication and precision. There are some inappropriate word choices and collocations (e.g., 'greenery will be axed', 'set up more houses'). A more varied and accurate range of vocabulary would enhance the description. Try to use more specific terms related to urban development and map features. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are frequent grammatical errors in sentence structure, verb tense, subject-verb agreement, and article usage, which often hinder understanding. For example, 'woodland have' should be 'woodland has', and 'will be redesign' should be 'will be redesigned'. A wider range of complex structures with greater accuracy is needed. Proofreading and practice with basic grammar will help improve clarity.
