Task Response

The report addresses the task and describes the main changes, but it contains some inaccuracies and omissions. For instance, the location of the new covered market is incorrectly stated as the eastern side, whereas it is actually northwest. Additionally, the report omits the new shop west of the city centre and the pedestrian area near the port. The structure is clear, with an overview and body paragraphs, but the language is sometimes informal and contains grammatical errors (e.g., 'the city witness modernizations', 'the trees are cut nowadays'). To improve, ensure accurate data selection and use more formal, precise language.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a logical structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs, but the flow is disrupted by unclear referencing and abrupt transitions. For example, the overview is a single sentence that lacks clarity, and the body paragraphs jump between locations without clear linking. To improve, use cohesive devices such as 'in contrast', 'similarly', and 'while' to connect ideas, and ensure each paragraph focuses on a clear set of changes. Also, avoid run-on sentences and ensure that pronouns and demonstratives (e.g., 'it', 'this') clearly refer to the intended nouns.

Lexical Resource

The report uses some appropriate vocabulary (e.g., 'transformations', 'modernizations', 'replaced', 'introduced'), but there are several inaccuracies and limited range. For instance, 'witness' should be 'witnessed', 'rebuild' should be 'rebuilding' or 'construction', and 'trainline' is not standard (use 'railway line'). Additionally, phrases like 'bike hiring scheme' could be more natural as 'bike rental scheme'. To improve, expand your vocabulary for describing changes (e.g., 'demolished', 'constructed', 'converted', 'expanded') and use precise terms for urban features. Avoid repetition and ensure word forms are correct.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains a mix of simple and complex sentences, but there are numerous grammatical errors that affect clarity. Examples include subject-verb agreement ('the city witness' should be 'the city witnessed'), tense inconsistency (e.g., 'there was' vs. 'are cut'), and missing articles ('a green area', 'the new shopping centre'). There are also sentence fragments, such as 'Highlighting new shopping center, restaurants, and bars and clubs.' To improve, practice using past tense consistently for describing past changes, ensure subject-verb agreement, and use full sentences with proper punctuation. Vary sentence structures to include more complex forms, but prioritize accuracy.
