The maps depict how the village of Stokeford had been developed over an eighty year period and show that the farmland was cleared to make way for more residential areas.

When looking at the greenspaces in 1930, there were two large farmland areas throughout the village as well as the gardens belonging to the large house. By 2010, those farmland areas had been cleared to make way for many new individual residences and new cul-de-sacs were constructed on either side of the main road. A further decline of the green areas was the reduction in size of the garden near the large house. The garden sizewas halved and the large house was repurposed and extended into retirement home by 2010.

In 1930, there were two shops between the houses and post office. By 2010, these shops were demolished and replaced by more housing and cul-de-sac. In contrast, the only features that remained unchanged were the bridge, primary school and post office.

Task Response

The report provides a clear and effective overview of the main changes, specifically highlighting the transition from farmland to residential areas. The comparison between the two time periods is well-handled, and the grouping of information is logical. To improve, ensure that all key features mentioned in the description are addressed with equal weight; for instance, while the repurposing of the large house was noted, a slightly more detailed description of the overall layout change (the expansion of the road network) would strengthen the response. Overall, it is a strong, cohesive piece of writing.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized, moving from a general overview to specific details regarding land use and infrastructure. The use of cohesive devices such as 'By 2010', 'In contrast', and 'A further decline' helps the reader follow the progression of changes over time. To reach a higher band, ensure that the transitions between the description of residential changes and the description of commercial/public amenities are even more seamless.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and varied, with effective terms such as 'repurposed', 'demolished', 'cul-de-sacs', and 'residential areas'. There is a good attempt to use precise verbs to describe change. To improve, aim for even greater sophistication in describing spatial relationships and more varied synonyms for 'cleared' or 'replaced'. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of structures, including complex sentences and the use of the past perfect tense to describe changes. However, there are minor errors that affect the flow, such as 'extended into retirement home' (missing the article 'a') and 'garden sizewas' (a typographical error). Ensuring consistent use of articles and careful proofreading for minor typos will help elevate the grammatical accuracy.
