The given maps demonstrate the strategy of a small school between 1980 and 2010.

Overall, the school accommodated more facilities for students in 2010. Additionally, it is evident that the building complex in the northwest was widened, while the trees were supplanted by learning facilities and a car park for pupils.

Regarding the illustrations, the area in 1980 in the northwest, including seminar rooms and a long corridor, initially consisted of three primary seminar rooms in tandem with a library and an office, divided by a long corridor in the middle and one main entrance. In 2010, the area experienced a significant change with two new seminar rooms above the three original rooms. In addition, the hallway was extended, alongside the transformation of the library to another position and a new car park adjacent to the entrance.

As for the area in the northeast, given that there are five trees, and a horizontal and vertical road connected together in 1980, 2010 saw a remarkable alteration in the region, constructed an IT center, a relocated library, and a corridor between the two buildings. Notably, two main roads remained unchanged in 2010.

Task Response

The report covers the main features of the maps and provides a clear overview of the changes. The comparison between the two time periods is effective. To improve, ensure that the spatial descriptions are more precise; for example, the report mentions the northwest being widened, but the visual description suggests changes occurring in the west and east. Additionally, some phrasing is slightly awkward (e.g., 'the strategy of a small school' instead of 'the layout'), and more careful attention to the exact location of new additions would enhance the accuracy of the report.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is organized into logical paragraphs, with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. The use of cohesive devices (e.g., 'Overall', 'Regarding the illustrations', 'As for the area') helps guide the reader. However, some transitions between sentences could be smoother to ensure the message is followed effortlessly. For instance, the connection between the description of the 1980 layout and the 2010 changes could be more fluidly integrated to avoid a slightly repetitive structure.

Lexical Resource

The candidate uses a good range of vocabulary to describe changes, such as 'supplanted', 'widened', 'relocated', and 'remarkable alteration'. There is an attempt to use sophisticated phrasing. To reach a higher band, aim for more precise word choices; for example, 'the strategy of a small school' is an unnatural way to describe a 'plan' or 'layout'. Using 'layout' or 'configuration' would be more appropriate in this context.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures. However, there are several grammatical inaccuracies that affect the flow. For example, the phrase 'constructed an IT center' in the final paragraph is a dangling participle/fragment that lacks a clear subject. Additionally, some sentence constructions are slightly awkward, such as 'the area experienced a significant change with two new seminar rooms above the three original rooms'. Focus on ensuring that every clause has a clear subject and that verb tenses are used consistently when describing past vs. present states.
