Task Response

The report covers the main changes and makes relevant comparisons between the two layouts. The overview successfully identifies the key transformation regarding outdoor seating. To improve, ensure more precise use of prepositions and articles (e.g., 'the kitchen', 'the college café'). Additionally, while the description of the changes is clear, some phrasing is slightly awkward (e.g., 'did not replace' instead of 'remained unchanged'). Aim for more consistent use of formal academic vocabulary to describe spatial changes.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure, but the progression of ideas is sometimes hindered by awkward phrasing. While you attempt to group information by location (upper room, perimeter, etc.), the transitions between sentences could be smoother. To improve, use more sophisticated cohesive devices (e.g., 'In terms of the seating arrangements,' or 'Regarding the service area,') to guide the reader through the comparisons more naturally.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is functional but lacks the precision and variety required for higher bands. There are several instances of imprecise word choices, such as 'deploying changes,' 'stuffs' dining,' and 'right dawn corner.' Instead of using 'deploy' or 'open' repeatedly, try more specific architectural or design verbs like 'relocated,' 'repurposed,' 'expanded,' or 'introduced.' Ensure that nouns are used correctly (e.g., 'staff' instead of 'stuffs'). Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are frequent grammatical errors that occasionally impede clarity. Issues include missing articles (e.g., 'in college café' should be 'in the college café'), incorrect verb forms (e.g., 'did not replace' instead of 'were not replaced'), and awkward sentence constructions. To improve, focus on mastering the passive voice, which is essential for describing changes in floor plans (e.g., 'The kitchen was kept in its original position' rather than 'kitchen remained untouched').
