Task Response

The report attempts to address the task by describing some changes between the two maps, but it contains several inaccuracies and irrelevant details (e.g., mentioning a river and a dam that are not in the visual description). The overall structure is present, but key features are misrepresented or omitted, and comparisons are limited. To improve, focus on accurately selecting and reporting the main changes from the visual information, avoid adding unsupported details, and ensure comparisons are clear and relevant.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report attempts to describe the changes but lacks a clear and logical structure. The information is presented in a somewhat disjointed manner, and the progression from the 1983 map to the present is not always smooth. The use of cohesive devices is limited, and some sentences are not well connected, making it difficult to follow the description effortlessly. To improve, consider organizing the report into clear paragraphs: one for the overview, one for the 1983 layout, and one for the present changes. Use a range of linking words and phrases (e.g., 'in contrast', 'similarly', 'while', 'whereas') to show relationships between features and time periods.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is quite basic and repetitive, with some inappropriate word choices (e.g., 'useles trees', 'city corner', 'big place'). There is limited range and flexibility, and the language does not demonstrate natural or sophisticated control. To improve, expand your vocabulary with more precise and varied terms related to maps and urban development (e.g., 'residential area', 'commercial zone', 'replaced by', 'converted into', 'demolished', 'constructed'). Avoid informal or vague expressions and aim for more formal, academic language. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors and awkward phrasing that affect clarity. Issues include subject-verb agreement errors (e.g., 'the school, police station and post office is not touched'), incorrect verb tenses, missing articles, and incomplete sentences. Punctuation is also inconsistent. To improve, focus on using a wider range of sentence structures (e.g., complex sentences with relative clauses) and ensure grammatical accuracy. Practice proofreading to catch errors like 'One o the biggest change' and 'A large dam is established'.
