The second map shows changes: the school remains, but the playing field has been replaced by more housing (multiple separate buildings of various shapes); the original housing and farmland are replaced by an industrial unit; and the area east of the river is now a forest to the north of the road and a football pitch with one small building to the south.

The maps illustrate the current layout of the school called ”Iftikhor” and the future alterations, which will take place in the near future.

Overall, the area of the school is planned to be greener and urbanized during the given period, particularly in terms of facilities and housing. It is also worth mentioning that, the river and school are proposed to see no changes over the period and the addition of a football pitch is expected.

At present, the north-western part of the layout is contained a school, just above a playing field to the south of the school, while there is a river, dividing the area into two parts. A farmland is situated to the south-western part of the area, with a housing to the north of it.

In the future, the layout of school is planned to see several alterations. Firstly, the north-eastern section of the area is proposed to turn into a forest in its location. Just below the forest, a football pitch is expected to appear. The river is proposed to stay unchanged, adjusting the region into two main parts. The school, situated in the north-west edge of the area is likely to see no alterations over the time. The housing is planned to extend, by doubling its original size. Finally, the farmland, which was located in the south0west corner of the area is likely to develop into an industrial unit in the near future.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by comparing the current layout with the proposed changes. It provides a clear overview and organizes the information logically, moving from the current state to the future developments. Key features such as the transformation of farmland into an industrial unit and the addition of the forest and football pitch are well-noted. To improve, ensure more precise descriptions of spatial relationships and avoid minor grammatical slips, such as 'is contained a school' instead of 'contains a school'. Overall, the response is comprehensive and covers all major aspects of the maps.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. The progression of ideas is easy to follow. However, some cohesive devices and transitions could be more seamless. For instance, the use of 'It is also worth mentioning that, the river...' contains an unnecessary comma that disrupts the flow. To improve, try to vary your linking words and ensure that the transition between describing the current state and the future changes is more fluid.

Lexical Resource

You have used a good range of vocabulary to describe changes, such as 'alterations', 'situated', and 'develop into'. There is an attempt to use more sophisticated phrasing like 'urbanized' and 'proposed to see no changes'. To reach a higher band, aim for more precision in word choice. For example, 'the layout of school is planned to see several alterations' is slightly awkward; 'the school layout is expected to undergo several changes' would be more natural. Also, be careful with the use of 'a housing', as 'housing' is typically uncountable.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures. However, there are several grammatical inaccuracies that prevent a higher score. Examples include 'the north-western part of the layout is contained a school' (should be 'contains' or 'is composed of') and 'the layout of school' (missing the article 'the'). There are also minor punctuation errors and typos like 'south0west'. Focus on subject-verb agreement and the correct use of articles (a/an/the) to improve accuracy.
