Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing changes between the two maps, but it contains several inaccuracies and omissions. The time frame is incorrectly stated as '2000 and today' instead of 1995 and 2010. Some details are misplaced or inaccurate, such as the location of the pub and the description of the station. The report also includes some irrelevant or unclear information, like 'industrial entertainment facilities.' To improve, ensure accurate reference to the given time periods, verify the locations of features, and focus on selecting and reporting the main changes clearly and logically.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a logical structure with an introduction, an overview, and paragraphs describing changes. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by unclear referencing and awkward phrasing, such as 'with is the city center that has been pedestrianized' and 'the area in the south-west used to have green spaces was cut down'. The use of cohesive devices is present but not always smooth, and paragraphing could be more clearly managed to separate different areas of the town. To improve, focus on using clear topic sentences and ensuring each paragraph covers a distinct set of changes, with smoother transitions between ideas.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate for the task, with some good attempts at paraphrasing (e.g., 'knocked down', 'erected', 'pedestrianized', 'transformed into'). However, there are some inaccuracies and less natural choices, such as 'shift industrial entertainment facilities toward new residential' and 'industrialize the transport system'. The range of vocabulary is limited, and some terms are used imprecisely. To improve, aim for more precise and natural collocations (e.g., 'shift from industrial to residential and recreational facilities') and expand your lexical range to describe changes more effectively.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors and awkward structures that affect clarity. Examples include 'with is the city center' (incorrect relative clause), 'the area...used to have green spaces was cut down' (missing relative pronoun), and 'an interesting development that an airport has been constructed' (missing verb). Punctuation is also inconsistent. While there is some variety in sentence structures, errors are frequent enough to impede understanding. To improve, focus on mastering relative clauses, subject-verb agreement, and correct use of articles and prepositions. Proofreading for common errors would also help.
