Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by describing the changes between 1970 and 2000. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, an overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions. For example, the report states that the school remained unchanged, but according to the visual description, the school was replaced by a sport center. Additionally, the report mentions that the car park was moved to the east, but the visual description indicates it maintained its location. The report also introduces details not present in the visual description, such as trees being cut down and a barrier being constructed. To improve, ensure all details align with the visual information and avoid adding unsupported information. Focus on accurately summarizing the key changes without introducing extraneous details.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear overall structure, including an introduction, an overview, and detailed paragraphs for different parts of the map. The use of cohesive devices like 'Regarding the western part' and 'Regarding the eastern' helps guide the reader. However, the flow could be improved by ensuring smoother transitions between ideas and avoiding abrupt shifts. For example, the sentence 'Some trees were cut down to build houses' seems slightly disconnected from the main description of changes. Overall, the message is clear and easy to follow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate for the task, with words like 'urbanization', 'amenities', 'residential', 'industrial', and 'recreational' demonstrating a good range. There is also effective use of phrases such as 'was converted into' and 'was constructed'. However, there are some instances of less precise or slightly awkward phrasing, such as 'the urbanization process was clearly taken place' and 'an erection of houses'. To achieve a higher score, aim for more natural and sophisticated lexical choices, and ensure that all terms are used accurately.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report attempts to use a variety of sentence structures, including complex sentences. However, there are several grammatical errors that affect clarity and accuracy. For example, 'the area was undergone significant changes' should be 'the area underwent significant changes', and 'the urbanization process was clearly taken place' should be 'the urbanization process clearly took place'. Additionally, 'several factories was built' should be 'several factories were built'. Punctuation is generally correct, but these errors indicate a need for more careful proofreading and control over grammar. To improve, focus on subject-verb agreement and correct use of passive and active voice.
