The given maps illustrate the discoveries at an ancient site in the years 1890 and 1990.

Overall, the site had developed significantly by increasing ancient houses. An ancient stadium and toilets had been added to attract or facilitate visitors.

In 1890, there were trees on the west side of the site. An ancient temple was located in the South-East corner. There were two mountains on the North side of the ancient site. Moreover, there was a sea running from the south-east corner to the north. An ancient temple existed to the West of the sea. There were two ancient houses, one to the east of the mountains and the other in the North-East corner.

In 1990, the town had grown substantially by increasing the number of houses from two to nine. Toilets had been constructed to the West of the houses. Furthermore, a new ancient stadium had been built in the North-East by cutting down trees. Additionally, an ancient palace had been erected to the East of the remaining trees. However, a sea and an ancient temple remained unchanged.

Task Response

The report provides a clear overview and describes the main changes between the two time periods. The structure is logical, with an introduction, overview, and paragraphs for each year. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions in the details. For instance, the number of trees is not accurately reported (1890 had three trees, not two; 1990 had two trees, not one), and the position of the temple in 1890 is contradictory. Additionally, the report fails to mention the mountain range in the 1990 diagram and does not explicitly compare the changes in the sea or other elements. To improve, ensure all key features are accurately described and make more explicit comparisons between the two maps. Focus on precision and clarity in describing locations and changes.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear overall statement and separate paragraphs for each time period. However, the flow could be improved by using more varied cohesive devices and ensuring that comparisons between the two maps are more explicitly integrated. For instance, the final paragraph could better link back to the 1890 layout to highlight changes more clearly. Overall, the message is easy to follow, but there is room for more sophisticated paragraphing and linking.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and generally accurate, with some good choices such as 'illustrate', 'significantly', 'constructed', and 'erected'. However, there is some repetition (e.g., 'ancient' is used frequently) and a few imprecise terms (e.g., 'town' instead of 'site'). To achieve a higher score, aim for a wider range of synonyms and more precise, less repetitive language. The report demonstrates a good lexical range but lacks the flexibility and sophistication of a top-band response. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a mix of simple and complex structures, with generally good control. There are a few minor errors and awkward phrasings, such as 'by increasing ancient houses' (should be 'by an increase in the number of ancient houses') and 'to attract or facilitate visitors' (which is slightly unclear). Additionally, the phrase 'there was a sea running from the south-east corner to the north' is a bit awkward. Overall, grammar and punctuation are mostly accurate, but there are some lapses that prevent it from being fully flexible and precise.
