The two given maps illustrate the transformations that have taken place in a college named Riverage between 30 years ago and the present time.

What is most striking when looking at the maps is that the college has witnessed substantial modifications, with the most notable being the appearance of recreational, academic amenities and green space, as well as the disappearance of the parking lot.

Getting into details, a sports hall which was situated at the left side has remained intact after 30 years. Additionally, a former flower area adjacent to the sports hall has been completely removed to make room for steps, making it more accessible and convenient for students. Furthermore, the site occupied by the refectory has undergone significant changes, giving rise to an office. It is noticeable that a common room which was opposite the library has been demolished to give way to the construction of a new cafe. Moreover, the library has remained in the same location which was sandwiched between office and cafe.

Another point to note is that a new art-class room has been constructed in a place that used to be four former offices. Besides, a new music room has been built on the other side, and the reception has remained unchanged. Lastly, the car park has been knock-down to make room for green space.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by describing the main changes in the college layout. It provides a clear overview and organizes the information logically. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions: the report mentions the removal of the flower area to make room for steps, but the visual description indicates the flower area was between the terrace and library, and the steps are part of the terrace. Also, the report states the reception remained unchanged, but the visual description shows the reception moved to a new location between the art-class room and music room. Additionally, the report omits the new office adjacent to the library and the tree beyond the property line. To improve, ensure all key changes are accurately described and avoid minor factual errors.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized and easy to follow, with a clear overall structure and logical paragraphing. The use of cohesive devices is generally effective, though a few transitions could be smoother. For example, the phrase 'Getting into details' is slightly informal and could be replaced with 'Looking at the details' or 'In more detail.' Additionally, the final sentence could be better linked to the preceding content to enhance flow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is varied and appropriate for the task, with good use of terms like 'transformations,' 'substantial modifications,' 'demolished,' and 'sandwiched between.' There is a minor issue with word choice: 'knock-down' should be 'knocked down' or 'demolished.' Also, 'recreational, academic amenities and green space' could be more precise, e.g., 'recreational and academic facilities, as well as green space.' Overall, the lexical range is strong and natural.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and appropriate use of passive voice. There are a few minor errors, such as 'has been knock-down' (should be 'has been knocked down') and 'a former flower area' (could be 'the former flower area'). Punctuation is generally accurate. These minor issues do not impede understanding, but correcting them would improve accuracy.
