The maps contain information about potential changes to the village between now and in the future.

Overall, although the town has undergone significant changes, it’s clear that some properties located in the northern and eastern parts of the town will remain largely unaffected by the development.

The plan is to substitute two parking lots with one underground car park below the town hall, combine exhibition and shopping centre moving council office to exhibition’s old space, build a hotel and a restaurant, add a cafe in the beginning of North Avenue, and move underground library on the top surface.

On the other hand, Victory Avenue will become slightly busier than before, which will benefit the businesses on the street. A hotel and restaurant, as well as a shopping center and exhibition hall, will be located on Smith Street. Moreover, the library will be transformed into an underground library, and it will be erected in the old place of the council offices.

Task Response

The report adequately covers the main features of the maps and makes relevant comparisons. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions: the location of the cafe is described as 'in the beginning of North Avenue' but should be 'near High Street'; the library is said to be 'moved underground' and 'erected in the old place of the council offices', which is somewhat confusing and not entirely accurate; the report also mentions 'Victory Avenue' instead of 'Victoria Avenue'. To improve, ensure all place names are correct and clarify the relocation of the library. Additionally, the overview could be more precise about which areas remain unchanged. Overall, the response is relevant and sufficiently detailed, but minor lapses in accuracy and clarity prevent a higher score.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, the flow of ideas is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear referencing (e.g., 'combine exhibition and shopping centre moving council office to exhibition's old space'). The paragraphing is acceptable, but the second body paragraph introduces new information (e.g., 'Victory Avenue will become slightly busier') that is not clearly linked to the previous paragraph. To improve, use clearer topic sentences and ensure each paragraph focuses on a distinct set of changes, with logical connectors to guide the reader.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a range of vocabulary related to urban development (e.g., 'substitute', 'underground car park', 'erected'), but there are some inaccuracies and unnatural collocations (e.g., 'move underground library on the top surface' should be 'move the library underground' or 'relocate the library to an underground level'). The phrase 'combine exhibition and shopping centre' is unclear and could be expressed more precisely. To improve, use more precise and natural vocabulary, and avoid literal translations. Also, ensure that terms like 'council offices' and 'town hall' are used consistently.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. For example, 'The maps contain information about potential changes to the village between now and in the future' is redundant; 'between now and in the future' should be 'between the present and the future' or 'from now into the future'. The sentence 'The plan is to substitute two parking lots with one underground car park below the town hall, combine exhibition and shopping centre moving council office to exhibition's old space' is a run-on and lacks proper punctuation. Additionally, 'it will be erected in the old place of the council offices' is awkward; 'erected' is typically used for buildings, not libraries, and 'old place' should be 'former location'. To improve, proofread for subject-verb agreement, use articles correctly, and break long sentences into shorter, clearer ones.
