The map demonstrates the current and future layout of the college. Overall, the will be modernised with major changes and become student-friendly by adding more facilities to study. In addition, one more building with laboratories will be added but it comes at the cost of the green areas.

At present, there is an Administrative office in the top left corner of the map and is a Car park in front of it. Spots field is located in bottom left corner, to the south-east of which is a Staff room. Turning to the inside of building, a long corridor is located in the middle of the college building and teaching areas in its left and right sides, with an entrance to the north. An area for trees is situated in the left side of the map.

In upcoming years, while administrative office remains intact, a car park will be replaced by a Cafe and a library. By shrinking the Sports field, Sports hall will be introduced to the east of it. Staff room will be extended and the number of teaching zones will be increased to six, which is five now. Three laboratories and a computer room will be added but at the expense of trees. As a result, the number of corridors and entrances will be doubled.

Task Response

The report covers the main requirements of the task and provides a clear overview of the planned changes. It effectively highlights the transition from a basic layout to a more facility-rich environment. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data reporting - specifically regarding the number of teaching areas and the doubling of entrances - which slightly detract from the precision of the task achievement. To improve, ensure that numerical comparisons (such as the count of specific rooms or areas) are double-checked against the visual information to maintain high accuracy.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure, moving from an overview to a description of the present and then the future. However, there are some issues with cohesive devices and sentence flow. For instance, the transition between describing the current layout and the future changes could be smoother. Some sentences feel slightly disconnected, and the use of 'In addition' or 'As a result' is sometimes a bit mechanical. To improve, try to use more varied linking words and ensure that each sentence flows naturally into the next to create a more seamless narrative.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for describing the maps, using terms like 'intact', 'replaced', and 'at the expense of'. However, there are several errors in word choice and formation (e.g., 'Spots field' instead of 'Sports field', 'the will be modernised' instead of 'the college will be modernised'). There is also some repetition. To reach a higher band, aim for more precise academic vocabulary and ensure that noun phrases are used accurately (e.g., 'an administrative office' instead of 'Administrative office'). Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are present and occasionally impede the clarity of the message. There are issues with article usage (e.g., 'is a Car park', 'in bottom left corner'), subject-verb agreement, and sentence construction (e.g., 'the will be modernised'). There is an attempt to use complex structures, such as 'to the south-east of which', which is good, but the frequency of errors in simpler structures brings the score down. Focus on mastering articles (a, an, the) and ensuring that every sentence has a clear subject and verb.
