The image contains two separate plans labeled "GRANGE PARK (1920)" and "GRANGE PARK (today)," both placed side by side for comparison. The first plan presents a symmetrical layout with a rose garden at the top and bottom, surrounded by seats with an entrance between them on the left side. In the middle, there is a stage for musicians directly above and seats directly below, with a fountain centered between them. On the right side, there is a glasshouse above, a pond for water plants in the middle, and another entrance between seats at the bottom. The second plan shows an asymmetrical layout with a stage for concerts at the top left and an amphitheater-shaped rose garden directly below it. In the middle, there are seats above and below the café. On the right side, there is a revamped entrance with curved access above, a water feature directly in the middle, and a children's play area at the bottom.

The given schemes depict the Grange park on the Eldon and Arnold streets in 1920 and how it looks today after more than 100 years.

Overall, what stands out from the layout is that the area has been modernised significantly, becoming more attractive for visitors. The rose garden has remained in the same place.

In detail, the eastern part of the park has been upgraded noticeably. The pond for water plants has become the children’s playground and the cafe has been introduced adjacent to it. The glasshouse has turned into the water feature in the south-east corner. The entrances have remained in the same position (in the south and north parts, but the underground entrance has been added near the water feature.

Furthermore, in the middle of this area used to be the fountain; however, now it has been converted into a rose garden surrounded by benches. Also, the rose garden in the south-west of the park site disappeared and the stage for musicians has been redeveloped into the huge amphitheater for conducting concerts.

Task Response

The report provides a clear and well-structured overview of the main changes between 1920 and today, with a logical organization of information. It successfully highlights key transformations such as the conversion of the pond to a children's play area, the introduction of a café, and the relocation of the rose garden. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions: the report mentions an 'underground entrance' which is not described in the visual, and it incorrectly states that the rose garden remained in the same place while also saying it disappeared. Additionally, the report omits the amphitheater-shaped rose garden and the curved access at the revamped entrance. To improve, ensure all key features are accurately described and avoid introducing details not present in the visual. Overall, the response covers the task requirements well, but with minor lapses in accuracy and completeness.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear overall structure: an introduction, an overview, and detailed paragraphs. The use of cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'In detail', 'Furthermore', and 'Also' helps guide the reader. However, there are some minor lapses in coherence, particularly in the second paragraph where the description of the eastern part becomes slightly confusing (e.g., 'the underground entrance has been added near the water feature' seems out of place). The paragraphing is logical, but the flow could be improved by ensuring each paragraph focuses on a clear geographical area or theme.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a good range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, such as 'modernised', 'upgraded', 'converted', 'redeveloped', and 'amphitheater'. There is evidence of flexibility in word choice. However, there are some inaccuracies and awkward phrasings, such as 'the schemes depict' (should be 'the maps show'), 'the cafe has been introduced adjacent to it' (could be more natural), and 'the underground entrance' (likely a typo for 'another entrance'). The lexical resource is adequate but lacks the sophistication and precision expected for a higher band score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, with some accurate use of passive voice and comparative language. However, there are several grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect clarity. For example, 'the Grange park' should be 'Grange Park', 'has become the children's playground' should be 'has become a children's playground', and there is a missing closing parenthesis in 'in the south and north parts, but the underground entrance...'. Additionally, the sentence 'in the middle of this area used to be the fountain' is awkwardly phrased. These errors, while not frequent, are noticeable and reduce the overall accuracy.
