Band 5+: The maps below show the current and future plans for a town centre. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant

The response addresses the task by describing the main changes between the current and future town centre plans. It covers key features such as the replacement of car parks with a cafe and hotel/restaurant, the introduction of an underground library and car park, and the relocation of the exhibition. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions: for example, the report states that the council office will be replaced by an underground library, but according to the visual, the council offices remain in the future plan, and the underground library appears to be a new addition. Additionally, the report mentions that the exhibition will be placed below the shopping centre, which is correct, but it does not note that the exhibition moves from its current location. The overview is somewhat vague and could be more precise. To improve, ensure all key changes are accurately reported and avoid misinterpretations of the visual information. The language is understandable but contains some grammatical errors and awkward phrasing that could affect clarity.

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and two body paragraphs. However, the progression of ideas is sometimes difficult to follow due to inconsistent use of cohesive devices and unclear referencing. For example, the phrase 'it is supposed to be contrast upside of town hall underground car park' is confusing. To improve, ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic and that linking words are used accurately to show relationships between ideas. Also, avoid abrupt shifts between locations and time frames.

There is an attempt to use a range of vocabulary, but some words are used inappropriately or with incorrect form (e.g., 'shrinked', 'unchange', 'Exibition'). Spelling errors also reduce clarity. To achieve a higher score, focus on using precise and accurate vocabulary related to maps and changes, and proofread to eliminate spelling mistakes. Try to incorporate more varied and sophisticated lexical items, such as 'demolished', 'constructed', 'relocated', 'converted', etc.

The report contains frequent grammatical errors that sometimes impede understanding. These include incorrect verb forms (e.g., 'will be remained', 'is expected to be not change'), missing articles, and incorrect prepositions. There is also limited range of sentence structures. To improve, review basic grammar rules, particularly subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, and the use of passive voice. Practise constructing complex sentences with appropriate conjunctions and relative clauses. Careful proofreading would help eliminate many of these errors.
