Task Response

The report attempts to address the task but contains significant inaccuracies and irrelevant details. It misidentifies the setting as a 'city' instead of a university department, and incorrectly describes the changes (e.g., flowers replaced with library and IT centre, car park added to the centre). The description of the 1980 layout is vague and partly incorrect, and the overview is not entirely accurate. To improve, focus on accurately describing the key changes between the two maps, use appropriate vocabulary for maps (e.g., 'north-west', 'adjacent to'), and ensure the overview clearly summarizes the main transformations without introducing irrelevant details.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs, but the flow is disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear referencing. For example, 'the flowers were removed and converted with a library and IT Centre' is confusing, and 'the road was located the opposite to flowers' is unclear. The use of cohesive devices is limited and sometimes inaccurate. To improve, use clearer topic sentences, ensure each paragraph has a single main idea, and use a range of linking words and referencing (e.g., 'this area', 'the former location') to guide the reader smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The report uses some appropriate vocabulary for describing maps (e.g., 'expanded', 'replaced', 'added'), but there are several inaccuracies and limited range. For instance, 'flowers' is used instead of 'trees', and 'converted with' is not idiomatic. The phrase 'Fast-forward to the present' is informal and not suitable for an academic report. To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary (e.g., 'transformed', 'relocated', 'constructed'), and ensure word choices are accurate and natural in context. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors that affect clarity, such as subject-verb agreement ('the seminar rooms was expanded'), incorrect prepositions ('converted with', 'located the opposite'), and missing articles ('the layout of city'). There is also a mix of tenses that is not always consistent. To improve, focus on subject-verb agreement, use of articles, and prepositions. Practice using a variety of sentence structures, including complex sentences, and proofread to eliminate basic errors.
