The plans showed a museum from 1998 and 2008. The museum experienced significant changes in the layout of amenities.

Overall, the most noticeable alternatives were the relocation and addition of amenities and reduction of permanent exhibition rooms.

In 1998, the museum had a big garden in the middle surrounded by four stable exhibition spaces, providing the connection pathways to visit every exhibition room. There was a cafe in the north of the big garden, which was used to keep refreshments. In addition, connecting with the garden to the south, a tickets entrance and exit stood for controlling visitors. Next to the entrance, there was a shop on the right side of it with places for visitors’ needs such as a WC and bags and coats. Finally, on the left of the entrance, a temporary exhibition room was located in the southwest of the room for holding events.

In 2008, the garden had been resized on a corner of it and placed two fountains for entertainment but remained in the same location with the three permanent exhibition rooms on the same side of the museum on the right. To the north of the garden, the WC had been relocated next to the cafe on the left with the seatings on the eliminated part of the garden.

Task Response

The report addresses the main requirements of the task and provides a comparison between the two years. However, there are some inaccuracies in the spatial descriptions and the interpretation of the layout. For instance, the description of the 'temporary exhibition room' being in the 'southwest' and the placement of the 'permanent exhibition rooms' is somewhat confusing and does not clearly align with the visual information provided. To improve, focus on using more precise directional language (e.g., north, south, east, west) and ensure that the relationship between different rooms is described accurately to provide a clearer mental map for the reader.

Coherence & Cohesion

The organization of information is somewhat logical, but the progression of ideas is often interrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear spatial descriptions. While you attempt to use cohesive devices (e.g., 'In addition', 'Finally'), they do not always guide the reader smoothly through the changes. To improve, focus on using more precise transitional phrases that highlight comparison and contrast (e.g., 'In contrast to the 1998 layout', 'By 2008, the area had been transformed into...') rather than just listing locations. Ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is somewhat limited and occasionally inaccurate in context. For example, using 'alternatives' instead of 'alterations' or 'changes' changes the meaning significantly. Phrases like 'stood for controlling visitors' or 'used to keep refreshments' are unnatural in an academic report. Aim to use more precise, formal verbs for describing changes, such as 'reconfigured', 'repositioned', 'expanded', or 'converted'. Work on collocations related to maps and plans (e.g., 'situated adjacent to', 'located in the vicinity of').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are frequent grammatical errors that occasionally impede clarity. Issues with prepositional use (e.g., 'on a corner of it', 'on the left of the entrance') and sentence structure (e.g., 'the garden... placed two fountains') make the description difficult to follow. There is an attempt at complex structures, such as the past perfect, but they are not always applied correctly. Focus on mastering subject-verb agreement and the correct use of passive voice, which is essential for describing changes in a layout (e.g., 'The garden was resized' instead of 'the garden had been resized on a corner of it').
