Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing the main changes between 1980 and the present day, and it includes an overview. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions. For instance, the report states that the empty grassland and main road remained unchanged, but the main road is not shown to have changed, and the open land in the east below the main road is not mentioned as having paths added. Additionally, the report incorrectly implies that the housing area was expanded in the northeast, which is accurate, but it omits the increase in the number of houses. The language is sometimes unclear (e.g., 'the sea form of the southern part') and contains grammatical errors. To improve, ensure all key changes are accurately described, use clearer and more precise language, and proofread for grammatical accuracy.

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 phrase 'the seaborne showed massive developments from quiet rural area where farm and woodland completely demolished' is awkward and lacks clear connection to the following details. The use of cohesive devices is limited and sometimes inaccurate (e.g., 'In addition, to the north east area...' is confusing). To improve, use clearer paragraphing and ensure each paragraph focuses on a distinct time period or area, with smooth transitions between ideas.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but limited in range and precision. There are some attempts at descriptive language (e.g., 'massive developments', 'quiet rural area'), but many word choices are imprecise or repetitive (e.g., 'available' used incorrectly, 'empty grass land' repeated). The report would benefit from a wider variety of location-specific vocabulary (e.g., 'northwestern', 'southeastern') and more precise terms for changes (e.g., 'replaced', 'expanded', 'constructed'). Avoid informal or vague expressions like 'big hotel' and 'small road'. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors that affect clarity, including subject-verb agreement ('The maps provides'), incorrect prepositions ('in the in the'), and incomplete sentences ('where farm and woodland completely demolished'). There are also issues with word order and article usage (e.g., 'the seaborne' should be 'Seaborne'). The range of sentence structures is limited, with many simple and sometimes fragmented sentences. To improve, focus on writing complete sentences with correct verb forms and ensure subject-verb agreement. Practice using a mix of simple and complex structures to enhance accuracy and range.
