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

The image presents two maps titled "AIRPORT IN 1990" and "AIRPORT IN 2020", each displaying a north arrow in the upper-left corner. In 1990, the layout features a horizontal "Runway" across the upper section, a "Control Tower" located to the northeast, and a central "Terminal Building" situated south of the runway. Adjacent to the south of the terminal is a "Car Park" with parking stall markings, which connects via a driveway to a horizontal roadway at the bottom; surrounding areas are grassy with scattered trees. In 2020, the "Runway" and northeast "Control Tower" remain, while three airplanes are positioned along the north side of an expanded "Terminal Building". Adjoining the terminal are an added "Shopping Area" directly to its west and an added "Multi-storey Car Park" marked with a blue "P" symbol to its east, alongside the original south-facing "Car Park" connecting to the bottom roadway, amidst surrounding grass and trees.

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

The maps illustrate some changes which were took place in an airport between 1990 and 2020.

Overall, the airport was experienced a considerable development over a 30-year period. The main notable changes were construction of a shopping area, a multi-storey car park and extension of the terminal building. However, control tower and space for car park remained unchanged throughout the period.

Looking at the northern part of the maps, there were a runway and a control tower along with some natural area, which were retained to their original positions. Almost all the significant changes were made in the middle section of the airport, including a shopping area for introducing commercial facilities, while terminal building was enlarged with some renovations and added some planes in front of it. The western natural places were demolished to make way for building multi-storey car park.

Turning to the southern area, the car park section was remained intact over the period and the road connected with the car park also unchanged during the mentioned years.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by providing an overview and highlighting key changes, such as the addition of a shopping area, multi-storey car park, and terminal expansion. It also makes relevant comparisons between the two periods. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions: the multi-storey car park is described as being built in the western area, but it is actually located to the east of the terminal; the original car park is mentioned as unchanged, but the description indicates it remains, which is correct; the report does not mention the runway and control tower remaining unchanged, which is a key feature. Additionally, there are minor grammatical errors (e.g., 'were took place', 'was experienced', 'were retained') that slightly affect clarity. To improve, ensure accurate placement of features and refine grammar for smoother expression.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, an overview, and paragraphs describing different areas. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear referencing (e.g., 'the western natural places were demolished to make way for building multi-storey car park' could be clearer). The paragraphing is logical, but the use of cohesive devices is limited and sometimes inaccurate (e.g., 'However' is used incorrectly). To improve, use a wider range of linking words and ensure each paragraph has a clear central idea with smooth transitions.

Lexical Resource

The report uses some appropriate vocabulary related to maps and changes (e.g., 'construction', 'extension', 'retained', 'demolished'). However, there are instances of imprecise word choice and repetition (e.g., 'natural area' and 'natural places' are vague; 'space for car park' is awkward). The range of vocabulary is adequate but not wide, and some phrases are not natural (e.g., 'for introducing commercial facilities'). To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary, and avoid repetition by using synonyms and more specific terms.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity, such as 'which were took place' (should be 'which took place'), 'the airport was experienced' (should be 'the airport experienced'), 'there were a runway' (should be 'there was a runway'), 'were retained to their original positions' (should be 'were retained in their original positions'), 'was remained intact' (should be 'remained intact'), and 'the road connected with the car park also unchanged' (missing verb). The range of sentence structures is limited, with frequent use of simple sentences. To improve, focus on correcting basic grammar errors and using a variety of complex structures, such as relative clauses and passive constructions, with accuracy.
