The diagram below shows the site of a farm called “Beechwood” in 1950 and the same site today.

Overall, it is clear that the farm has expanded with many additional facilities including parking, solar panels, holiday cottages, barn and a farm shop.

In 1950, half of the area was used by sheep. The area across the river is empty, only the one side of the river is used by beechwood farm. The left portion at the junction of the track consist of fruit trees, soft fruits and vegetables, whereas the right side consist of a large barn, farmhouse and chickens.

In today’s diagram, The tracks are converted into road. The field for sheep is separated for two different purpose including one for camping and another side for solar panels both the fields have separate parking. Barn is replaced by a holiday cottage and moved to the end of the road’s junction. A new farm shop is constructed inside the area of the fruit trees. While the other side of the river remained same as it was in 1950.

To conclude, the diagram shows the drastic expansion of beechwood farm as compared to 1950 except the chickens, vegetables, farmhouse and soft fruits

Task Response

The report generally addresses the requirements of the task, but there are some inaccuracies and omissions. The description of the 1950 map is somewhat vague, and the report doesn't fully capture the spatial relationships between the different features. The report also includes some minor inaccuracies, such as stating that the barn is replaced by a holiday cottage and moved to the end of the road's junction. To improve, focus on providing more specific details and ensuring accuracy in your descriptions. Also, try to organize the information more logically and use a wider range of vocabulary to describe the changes.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report demonstrates some organization, but the progression of ideas could be clearer. The 'Overall' paragraph provides a general overview, but the subsequent paragraphs lack clear topic sentences to guide the reader. Transitions between sentences and ideas are sometimes abrupt, hindering the flow of information. For instance, the shift from describing the 1950 layout to the present-day layout could be smoother with better connecting phrases. Paragraphing is present but could be more effectively used to group related information and improve coherence.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a range of vocabulary relevant to the task, such as 'expanded,' 'facilities,' 'solar panels,' and 'holiday cottages.' However, there's room for improvement in using more precise and varied language to describe the changes. For example, instead of repeatedly using 'area,' consider alternatives like 'section,' 'plot,' or 'tract.' While the vocabulary is generally appropriate, enhancing the range and precision would elevate the report. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report exhibits a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but grammatical errors and phrasing issues impact clarity. There are instances of incorrect verb tense ('Barn is replaced' should be 'Barn was replaced' or 'The barn has been replaced'), subject-verb agreement issues, and awkward phrasing ('separated for two different purpose'). Correcting these errors and refining sentence structures would significantly improve the report's grammatical accuracy and overall readability.
