Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing the main changes between the two maps, but it contains several inaccuracies and omissions. For example, it mentions 'two hills' which are not in the visual description, and it incorrectly states the time period as '10 year from 1980 to 1990' instead of 1890 to 1990. The report also omits key features such as the mountain range, the exact number of ancient houses (nine in 1990), and the location of the ancient stadium. To improve, ensure all main features are accurately reported and avoid introducing irrelevant details. Focus on clear comparisons and precise data.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs, but the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear references. The overview is somewhat vague and contains inaccuracies (e.g., time period mentioned as 1980 to 1990 instead of 1890 to 1990). Paragraphing is present but could be more logically organized, with clearer separation of details for each time period. Use cohesive devices more effectively to link ideas and avoid repetition.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, with some appropriate terms like 'archaeological site', 'ancient temple', and 'ancient palace'. However, there is limited range and some repetition (e.g., 'addition' used multiple times). There are also spelling errors (e.g., 'archaeoological', 'addtion', 'aslo') and imprecise word choices (e.g., 'hills' instead of 'mountain range'). To improve, use a wider variety of descriptive language and ensure correct spelling and word forms. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors that affect clarity, including subject-verb agreement ('maps illustrates'), incorrect verb forms ('was occured'), and misuse of articles ('a tree' vs. 'the tree'). Sentence structures are mostly simple and repetitive, with limited use of complex sentences. Punctuation is often incorrect (e.g., missing commas, incorrect use of commas). To improve, focus on grammar accuracy, vary sentence structures, and proofread for common errors.
