Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing the main changes in the village between 1910 and 2010, and it makes some comparisons. However, there are several inaccuracies and omissions that detract from the overall clarity. For instance, the report incorrectly states that the school and post office remained unchanged, while the visual description indicates that the post office was replaced by houses and the school was retained. Additionally, the report mentions 'Shelton road' instead of 'Shalton village,' and the description of the number of houses on High Street is inconsistent with the provided data. The organization is somewhat clear, but the language contains grammatical errors and awkward phrasing that affect readability. To improve, ensure that all key features are accurately reported, avoid unsupported statements, 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 phrasing and abrupt transitions. For example, the sentence 'School and post office except for the map' is confusing and breaks the coherence. The overview is somewhat vague and does not clearly present the main changes. To improve, ensure each paragraph has a clear central idea and use cohesive devices (e.g., 'in contrast', 'similarly') to link sentences and paragraphs smoothly. Also, avoid incomplete sentences and ensure that the progression of ideas is easy to follow.

Lexical Resource

The report uses some appropriate vocabulary (e.g., 'undergone substantial redevelopment', 'relocated', 'replaced'), but there are several inaccuracies and limited range. For instance, 'Shelton road' should be 'Shalton village', and 'the forest' is not mentioned in the task; it should be 'trees'. Also, 'in the central of the map' should be 'in the center of the map', and 'in addition beside high street' is awkward. To improve, use a wider range of precise vocabulary (e.g., 'demolished', 'constructed', 'converted') and ensure correct word choice and collocations. Avoid repetition and use synonyms to show lexical flexibility. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains a number of grammatical errors and awkward phrasing that affect clarity. For example, 'School and post office except for the map' is a fragment, and 'the tree in central of the map replaced by' is missing an auxiliary verb ('was replaced'). Also, 'The linear houses built next to the post office' should be 'were built'. There are issues with subject-verb agreement and prepositions (e.g., 'in the left and right bottom' should be 'at the bottom left and right'). To improve, use a wider range of sentence structures, ensure subject-verb agreement, and proofread for missing words or incorrect verb forms. Practice using passive voice correctly and vary sentence lengths to enhance grammatical range.
