Task Response

The report adequately covers the main features of the plans, describing the changes from office to apartment to flower shop. It includes an overview and mentions key rooms. However, there are some inaccuracies (e.g., '1968' instead of '1958') and omissions (e.g., not mentioning the kitchen's location in the apartment phase, and the flower sections in the final phase). The report could be improved by ensuring all time periods are correctly referenced and by providing a more balanced description of each phase. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction and a paragraph describing the changes. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear references (e.g., 'the ground' instead of 'the ground floor'). The use of cohesive devices is limited, and the progression of ideas could be smoother. To improve, use a wider range of linking words and ensure each paragraph focuses on a clear time period with logical connections between sentences.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, with some appropriate terms like 'transformation', 'facilities', and 'redeveloped'. However, there is repetition (e.g., 'ground' used multiple times) and some imprecise word choices (e.g., 'become flower shop' instead of 'become a flower shop'). To achieve a higher score, use more varied and precise vocabulary, such as 'converted into', 'comprised', and 'designated for'. Also, avoid informal or incorrect phrases like 'the ground was served as apartment'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors and awkward structures that affect clarity. Examples include missing articles ('was office' instead of 'was an office'), incorrect verb tense ('has transformed' instead of 'was transformed'), and subject-verb agreement issues ('four room' instead of 'four rooms'). Punctuation is mostly correct, but the range of sentence structures is limited. To improve, focus on using a variety of complex sentences accurately, and proofread for common errors such as articles, prepositions, and tense consistency.
