The two graphs compares the layout of a school between 1985 and the present.

Overall, the school undergone significant changes with the disappearance and downsizing of particular parts and the addition of some functional areas.

Looking first at the bottom part of the maps, the playing fields was narrowed to accomodate a pool, a fitness centre and two additional classroom areas divided into two opposite sides.

Moving to the center of the maps, the small carpark, the old classrooms and the path that connected the other parking site and the old playing fields were removed. The library was turned into a learning resources centre with a computer room inside. Additionally, the classroom block was udgraded with a new storey being added.

Finally, the top side of the layouts saw fewer changes. The old large carpark was rectangle shape while the new version was arched and surrounded by a rounded road. The office, the entrance and the exit still maitain their original position.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by identifying and describing the key changes between the two maps. The overview is clear, and the body paragraphs are logically organized to highlight specific transformations such as the expansion of the classroom block and the repurposing of the library. To improve, ensure better grammatical accuracy (e.g., subject-verb agreement like 'the playing fields was' should be 'were') and refine word choices to ensure smoother transitions between descriptions.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized, using clear transitional phrases such as 'Looking first at', 'Moving to the center', and 'Finally' to guide the reader through the different sections of the map. The paragraphing is appropriate. To improve, ensure that the progression of ideas is even smoother; some transitions feel a bit mechanical. Additionally, ensure that the overview clearly summarizes the main trend without getting bogged down in minor details.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is generally appropriate for a map task, with good attempts at describing change (e.g., 'downsizing', 'accommodate', 'upgraded'). However, there are several spelling errors ('accomodate', 'udgraded', 'maitain') and some slightly awkward phrasing ('the old large carpark was rectangle shape'). Aim for more precision in your word choices and double-check the spelling of common academic words to reach a higher band.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are frequent grammatical inaccuracies that affect the flow. Specifically, there are issues with subject-verb agreement ('The two graphs compares', 'the playing fields was') and tense usage ('the school undergone' instead of 'has undergone'). Pay close attention to singular/plural agreement and the correct formation of the present perfect tense to ensure accuracy throughout the report.
