Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing the main changes in Rivertown between 1990 and 2020, and includes an overview. However, there are several inaccuracies and omissions in the description of the maps (e.g., the houses are described as a single building, the park location is unclear, and the farmland is not correctly identified as replaced by a residential area). The language contains spelling and grammatical errors that affect clarity. To improve, focus on accurately selecting and reporting key features, using precise vocabulary, and ensuring correct grammar and spelling. Comparisons between the two time periods should be clearer and more specific. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report attempts to describe the changes but lacks a clear and logical structure. The overview is present but could be more precise. The use of cohesive devices is limited and sometimes awkward (e.g., 'Starting with', 'Moving on to', 'Ending with'). Paragraphing is not effectively managed, and the flow of information is somewhat disjointed. To improve, organize the report into clear paragraphs: one for the overview, one for the 1990 map, and one for the 2020 map, using a range of linking words and phrases to connect ideas smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and repetitive, with several spelling errors (e.g., 'diffrence', 'disapeard', 'sqaurd', 'circeled', 'atached', 'neibourhood'). There is limited range and flexibility in word choice. To improve, expand your vocabulary by learning synonyms for common words (e.g., 'change' to 'transformation', 'big' to 'significant') and practice spelling key terms accurately. Use more precise and varied language to describe locations and features. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains frequent grammatical errors, including subject-verb agreement issues (e.g., 'pictures illustrates', 'there are an factory'), incorrect articles (e.g., 'an large Farmland'), and awkward sentence structures. Punctuation is also inconsistent. To improve, focus on basic grammar rules such as subject-verb agreement, correct use of articles, and sentence structure. Practice writing simple, clear sentences and gradually incorporate more complex structures. Proofreading for errors is essential.
