Task Response

The report addresses the main requirements of the task by identifying several changes, such as the addition of housing, a playground, and a medical center. However, the description of the spatial layout is often confusing due to imprecise prepositional use (e.g., 'redeveloped with north western side') and unclear directions. While the overview correctly identifies the transformation toward a more commercial/residential area, the body paragraphs lack clarity in how the new features relate to the existing infrastructure. To improve, focus on using more accurate directional language (e.g., 'to the north of', 'adjacent to') and ensure that the relationship between new developments and the existing road/river system is described logically.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, the progression of ideas is sometimes hindered by awkward phrasing and poor use of cohesive devices. Some sentences feel disconnected, and the transitions between describing current and future states could be smoother. To improve, use a wider variety of linking words (e.g., 'In contrast,' 'Furthermore,' 'Regarding the...') and ensure that each sentence flows naturally into the next to guide the reader through the spatial changes.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is functional but quite limited and repetitive. There are several instances of imprecise word choices (e.g., 'the area will replace' instead of 'will be replaced', or 'the new three housing'). To reach a higher band, aim to use more sophisticated synonyms for 'change' (such as 'remodelled', 'transformed', 'converted', or 'modernised') and more precise spatial language (such as 'situated to the north of', 'adjacent to', or 'in the vicinity of').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and occasionally impede the clarity of the description. There are issues with subject-verb agreement ('The maps illustrates'), article usage ('at the present', 'bottom of the map'), and tense consistency. Additionally, there are errors in passive voice construction ('it will connected'). Focus on mastering the passive voice, as it is essential for describing changes in maps (e.g., 'The factory will be replaced by...'), and ensure that singular/plural nouns and their corresponding verbs are correctly matched.
