The maps illustrate how the Spanish city of Castellon changed from 2000 to 2025.

Overall, the beach has witnessed noticeable transformations over a 25-year period. Except for the university which has remained unchanged, almost everything has been replaced and added.

In 2000, on the western side, there was an old market that has been redeveloped into a new shop today. While the train station has been demolished to make room for police station, the hall of residence has been built on the blank space that was in the northwestern corner. Additionally, there has been an appearance of bike rental scheme in the city center and a new train station that has been constructed between the city center and the university, whereas the university has still existed over the period. Moreover, a tramline running through from the university to the city center also has been added.

In the northeastern corner, the wood has been cut down.

Task Response

The report addresses the main changes, but there are some inaccuracies in the interpretation of the data. For instance, the overview mentions the 'beach' witnessing transformations, which is not the primary focus of the map, and the claim that 'almost everything has been replaced' is an exaggeration. While the report identifies several key additions like the police station and the bike rental scheme, it misses some significant features mentioned in the description, such as the airport, cinema, and bars/clubs. To improve, ensure the overview accurately reflects the scope of the map and try to group all major developments more comprehensively to provide a complete summary.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure, but the progression of ideas could be smoother. While you use cohesive devices like 'Overall', 'Additionally', and 'Moreover', some transitions feel a bit mechanical. To improve, try to group features more logically (e.g., by area or by type of change) rather than just listing them. Ensure that the relationship between sentences is clear to help the reader follow the spatial changes more effortlessly.

Lexical Resource

You have used some appropriate vocabulary for describing change, such as 'redeveloped', 'demolished', and 'witnessed noticeable transformations'. However, there is some repetition and a lack of variety in word choice. For instance, instead of saying 'has been added' or 'has been built' repeatedly, you could use terms like 'emerged', 'was established', 'was introduced', or 'was erected'. Aim for more sophisticated synonyms to demonstrate a wider range of lexical control.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several issues with verb tense consistency and article usage. For example, 'the university has still existed over the period' is awkward; 'has remained' or 'has persisted' would be more natural. There are also missing articles, such as 'appearance of bike rental scheme' (should be 'the appearance of a bike rental scheme'). Additionally, ensure that your use of the present perfect and past simple is precise when describing changes between two specific points in time. Working on subject-verb agreement and the correct use of definite/indefinite articles will significantly improve your score.
