Band 5+: The maps below show a housing estate as it is now and a plan for developing it in the future.Provide an overview of the information by identifying and describing the key details, and include comparisons where appropriate.

The report addresses the task by describing the main changes between the current and future housing estate. It provides an overview and includes some key details, such as the reduction in woodland, the addition of new houses, tennis courts, a lake, and parkland. However, there are several inaccuracies and unclear expressions that detract from the overall clarity. For example, the statement about woodland being cut down to approximately 250 trees is ambiguous and likely inaccurate; the visual description indicates the plan shows 250 trees, not that 250 trees will remain. Additionally, the phrase 'the amount of green space was reduced' is awkward, and there are grammatical errors (e.g., 'will undergoing', 'which is estimating', 'will be cutting down') that affect readability. To improve, ensure that data is presented accurately and clearly, and use more precise language to describe changes. Also, consider structuring the report with clearer paragraphing and more explicit comparisons between the two maps. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs, but the flow is disrupted by grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. The use of cohesive devices is limited and sometimes inaccurate (e.g., 'throughout of the period', 'which will only grow'). Paragraphing is present but could be more effectively managed to separate key features and comparisons. To improve, focus on creating smoother transitions between ideas and ensuring each paragraph has a clear central topic.

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, with some appropriate terms such as 'demolished', 'surrounded by', and 'situated'. However, there is limited range and flexibility, and some word choices are imprecise or incorrect (e.g., 'house estate' instead of 'housing estate', 'will add' instead of 'will be added', 'will plant' instead of 'will be planted'). To achieve a higher score, use a wider variety of precise vocabulary and ensure correct collocations (e.g., 'undergo changes', 'reduce green space').

The report contains numerous grammatical errors that affect clarity and accuracy. There are issues with subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'trees which is estimating'), incorrect verb forms (e.g., 'will undergoing', 'will be cutting down'), and missing or incorrect prepositions (e.g., 'throughout of the period'). Punctuation is also problematic, such as the misuse of commas and capitalization. To improve, practice using a wider range of sentence structures with accurate grammar, and proofread to eliminate basic errors.
