Our system will evaluate the answer based on this AI-generated description.

The image presents two maps detailing a road system. The first map, "Road system as it is now," shows a central intersection where City Road, Low Lane, and Forest Road meet. A school is located northwest on City Road, and a supermarket is northeast, connected to Forest Road. There are a total of 7 houses along Low Lane: 4 on the west side and 3 on the east. Three specific locations are marked as frequent accident spots: one on City Road near the school access, one on Forest Road south of the central intersection, and one on the road to the supermarket. The second map, "Proposed road system in the future," shows this central intersection replaced by a roundabout. The 3 frequent accident sites have been removed, and 4 sets of traffic lights have been installed at the entrances to the roundabout: one on the western City Road approach, one on Low Lane, one on the southern Forest Road, and one on the eastern road which feeds both City Road and the road to the supermarket. The locations of the school, supermarket, and the 7 houses remain the same.

Given the complexity of the image, the above description may not be entirely accurate.

Task Response

The report attempts to address the task by describing both maps, but it contains significant inaccuracies and omissions. Key features such as the location of the school, the number of houses, and the specific accident spots are not accurately described. The report incorrectly states that Low Lane will be removed, whereas the visual description indicates it remains, and it fails to mention the installation of traffic lights at the roundabout entrances. The overall structure is present, but the lack of precise data and the inclusion of incorrect information detract from the task achievement. To improve, focus on accurately summarizing the main changes, including the replacement of the intersection with a roundabout, the addition of traffic lights, and the unchanged locations of the school, supermarket, and houses. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a basic structure with an introduction and an overall statement, but the body paragraphs lack clear organization and logical progression. The description of the current road system is confusing and not presented in a coherent order. The proposed changes are not clearly linked to the current system, and the use of cohesive devices is limited and sometimes inaccurate. To improve, organize the information into clear paragraphs (e.g., one for the current system, one for the proposed changes), use a logical order (e.g., from the center outward), and employ a range of linking words and referencing to connect ideas smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is limited and repetitive, with some imprecise word choices (e.g., 'right-hand side above corner', 'in heart of the map'). There is little use of less common or sophisticated vocabulary, and some phrases are awkward or unclear. To improve, use a wider range of precise geographical and directional terms (e.g., 'northwest', 'adjacent to', 'approach'), and vary the language used to describe changes (e.g., 'be replaced by', 'be installed', 'remain unchanged').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors and punctuation issues that significantly affect clarity. There are sentence structure problems (e.g., 'Road system at the present, it showed...'), incorrect verb forms (e.g., 'will be planned undergo'), and missing articles. The range of grammatical structures is limited, with mostly simple sentences. To improve, focus on writing clear, accurate sentences, use a variety of complex structures (e.g., relative clauses, passive voice), and proofread to correct errors in subject-verb agreement, articles, and prepositions.
