Band 5+: The maps below show the current layout of a village and the proposed changes for its future development. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.

The report addresses the task by describing the main changes in the village layout, and it makes some comparisons between the current and future plans. However, there are several inaccuracies and omissions that detract from the overall clarity. For instance, the report incorrectly states that the exhibition building moves to the right corner with the shopping centre, whereas the visual description indicates the exhibition is near Smith Street and the shopping centre is also near Smith Street, but the exact relocation is not clearly specified. Additionally, the report omits the fact that the library becomes underground and that the town hall gains an underground car park, which are key features. The language is often unclear and contains grammatical errors (e.g., 'the picture illustrate the the differentiatiate', 'there are a few building were setting into a differrent position'), which affect readability. To improve, focus on accurately reporting all main changes, use clearer and more precise language, and ensure that comparisons are explicit. Organize the information logically, perhaps by area, and proofread for grammatical accuracy.

The report has a logical structure with clear paragraphs for the upper and lower areas, but the flow is disrupted by frequent grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. The use of cohesive devices is limited and sometimes inaccurate (e.g., 'furthermore', 'on the other hand', 'nevertheless' are used inappropriately). The message can be followed with effort, but lapses in clarity and sentence structure detract from overall coherence. To improve, focus on using a range of linking words accurately and ensure each paragraph has a clear central idea with smooth transitions.

The report attempts to use a range of vocabulary (e.g., 'variative commercial using', 'additional facility', 'underground library'), but there are several inaccuracies and awkward collocations (e.g., 'differentiatiate', 'variative commercial using', 'setting into a differrent position'). The vocabulary is not always precise, and some terms are misused. To improve, use more precise and natural vocabulary, such as 'diverse commercial use', 'relocated', and 'additional facilities'. Avoid repetition and ensure word choices are appropriate for the context.

The report contains numerous grammatical errors and punctuation issues that significantly affect clarity. There are subject-verb agreement errors (e.g., 'the picture illustrate'), incorrect verb forms (e.g., 'will be changed into a cafe'), and missing articles (e.g., 'the the lower area'). Sentence structures are often incomplete or run-on, and punctuation is frequently incorrect. To improve, focus on using a wider range of sentence structures with accurate grammar, and proofread to correct basic errors. Practicing complex sentences and ensuring subject-verb agreement will enhance accuracy.
