The maps show a housing estate now and a plan for developing it in the future.

Overall, the housing estate will undergo a substantial transformation, mainly because of the introduction of a new flower garden, a new private road, tennis courts, and a new lake. These developments will make the estate more modern, with most areas being newly built, often at the expense of the original woodland.

Regarding the area above the main road, some important changes are planned. The woodland in the northwest will become much smaller, from 6,000 trees to only 250 trees. This frees up land for new buildings. A new flower garden will be built in the middle of the northern area, where some of the woodland used to be.

Turning to the area below the main road, more changes are expected. A new lake will be built in the south. In the southwest, a new private road will be constructed, and two tennis courts will be added next to it. In contrast to these changes, the old private road in the southeast will stay exactly the same.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by providing a clear overview and describing key changes between the current and future plans. It includes relevant comparisons, such as the reduction in woodland and the addition of new features like the lake and tennis courts. The structure is logical, with separate paragraphs for different areas. Minor omissions, such as not explicitly mentioning the change in the number of houses (from 20 four-bedroom to 25 mixed-type houses), are acceptable and do not detract from the overall quality. To improve, ensure all key details from the visual are covered, such as the shift in housing types, and maintain precise language when describing changes.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is exceptionally well-organized and easy to follow. The overview clearly summarizes the main changes, and the body paragraphs are logically divided into areas above and below the main road. Cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'Regarding', 'Turning to', and 'In contrast' are used effectively and naturally, without drawing attention. Paragraphing is skilfully managed, and the progression of ideas is seamless.

Lexical features are handled with full flexibility and accuracy. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.
