The diagram compares a current ground floor plan of an art gallery with the one from the year 2015.

Overall, the most prominent changes occured to the left from the main entrance alonside with several added facilities for disabled people and children such as a lift, a wheelchair ramp, and a children’s room.

The most notable change is the interactive children’s area right by the main entrance jointly followed by a temporary exibition. Both rooms were not present in 2015 and basically replaced exibition room 4.

Moving further from the entrance, gallery office was dismantled to give way for vending machines, which allowed to repurpose the room previously occupied by cafe and shop into a gallery shop of a more modest size. Thanks to the added capacity, now there is an elevator by the stairs that was not featured before.

Lastly, a ramp for wheelchairs was erected by the entrance on the left from the stairs, and corridors were made wider by shrinking marginally the receptionist office in the middle of the floor.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by describing the main changes between the two floor plans, with a clear overall summary and logical organization. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions: the location of the children's area is described as 'right by the main entrance' but the visual description places it top left; the temporary exhibition is also top left, not adjacent to the entrance. Additionally, the report omits the new entrance at the bottom center and the relocation of the receptionist. The language is generally clear, but there are minor spelling errors ('occured', 'alonside', 'exibition', 'dismantled') and some awkward phrasing. To improve, ensure all key changes are mentioned and verify the spatial relationships described.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized and follows a logical structure, with a clear introduction and overview. The use of cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'The most notable change', 'Moving further', and 'Lastly' helps guide the reader. However, there are some minor lapses in coherence, particularly in the second paragraph where the description of the children's area and temporary exhibition could be clearer. Additionally, the phrase 'jointly followed by' is slightly awkward and may distract the reader. Overall, the message is mostly easy to follow, but there is room for improvement in the flow of some sentences.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary, with appropriate use of terms such as 'dismantled', 'repurpose', 'erected', and 'shrinking marginally'. There is evidence of flexibility in lexical choice, and the language is generally accurate. However, there are a few instances of less precise or slightly informal phrasing, such as 'right by the main entrance' and 'gave way for', which could be replaced with more formal or precise alternatives. Additionally, the word 'exibition' is misspelled (should be 'exhibition'), which affects the overall lexical accuracy. Overall, the vocabulary is adequate but not consistently sophisticated.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a variety of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and passive constructions, which demonstrates a good range. However, there are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that affect accuracy. For example, 'occured' should be 'occurred', 'alonside' should be 'alongside', and 'exibition' should be 'exhibition'. Additionally, the phrase 'which allowed to repurpose' is missing an object (should be 'which allowed the room to be repurposed' or 'which allowed them to repurpose'). The sentence 'Thanks to the added capacity, now there is an elevator by the stairs that was not featured before' is slightly awkward; it could be rephrased for clarity. Overall, while the range is good, the errors and awkward phrasings are noticeable and may distract the reader.
