Task Response

The report addresses the main requirements of the task by identifying the key changes between the present and the future plans. It correctly notes the removal of farmland and the addition of new infrastructure like the supermarket and sports center. However, the response would benefit from better organization and more precise descriptions of spatial relationships. Some descriptions are slightly vague (e.g., 'replaced with a vast land'), and there are minor grammatical inconsistencies that affect the flow. To improve, try to group changes more logically - for example, by categorizing changes into 'transportation,' 'residential,' and 'commercial/leisure' - and ensure that the direction of new developments is described clearly using compass points.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report struggles with logical organization and sentence structure. While there is an attempt to use cohesive devices (e.g., 'Overall', 'In addition', 'Furthermore'), they are often used to connect run-on sentences or fragments, which disrupts the flow. The progression of ideas is somewhat disjointed, making it difficult for the reader to follow the spatial changes described. To improve, focus on using clear paragraphing to separate the overview from specific details, and ensure each sentence contains a single, complete idea. Avoid long, rambling sentences connected by multiple commas; instead, use full stops to create a clearer structure.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is functional but limited and repetitive. There are several instances of awkward phrasing (e.g., 'will be in alongside', 'was said to be used', 'headed to the eastern part') and spelling errors ('infastructure', 'super-market'). The use of 'vast land' is somewhat vague in this context. To improve, aim for more precise academic vocabulary related to urban development, such as 'redeveloped', 'transformed', 'residential area', 'infrastructure', or 'commercial zone'. Work on using more natural collocations to describe changes in maps.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and significantly impact the clarity of the report. There are issues with subject-verb agreement, tense consistency (mixing present and future awkwardly), and sentence construction (many run-on sentences). For example, 'it was planned to be more houses' and 'Sport center will be build' are grammatically incorrect. There is also a lack of control over articles (e.g., 'a super-market', 'a centre part'). To improve, focus on mastering basic sentence structures, particularly the use of the passive voice (e.g., 'will be built', 'will be replaced'), which is essential for describing planned changes in Task 1.
