The maps compare the appearance of Ashford area in 2010 and at present. Overall, the area has significantly changed, including the bridge, a yacht marina and new accommodation.

In 2010 the view of Ashford looked much older and rural. There were a few buildings located in the north-east side. A river called Tam flowed from north to south. The area was divided into two parts, and people had to use ferry to travel between them. In addition, there were some trees in the north-west wings.

By now, the Ashford area has changed a lot and look more modern. In the lower part of the river has added a yacht marine,which allows people to travel. The most significant change has happened with the building of the bridge, which makes easier to individuals to cross the river. In addition, there has planted more trees in the west-south area.

Task Response

The report covers the requirements of the task, identifying key changes in Ashford between 2010 and the present. The description of the main features is generally clear and accurate. To improve, consider providing more specific details and quantities to enhance the comparison. For example, instead of saying 'a few buildings,' specify the number of houses. Also, ensure that all significant changes are mentioned, and the report is well-organized with clear topic sentences for each paragraph. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report generally presents a clear overview and identifies key changes. However, the organization could be improved for better flow. Consider grouping information more thematically, such as discussing changes to transportation infrastructure (ferry to bridge) in one paragraph and residential developments in another. Transitions between paragraphs could also be smoother to enhance coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for describing the main features, but there's room for improvement in using more precise and varied language. For example, instead of repeatedly using 'changed,' try synonyms like 'transformed,' 'developed,' or 'evolved.' Also, consider using more specific vocabulary related to urban planning and development. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains grammatical errors that affect clarity. Focus on improving sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, and correct use of articles and prepositions. Pay close attention to verb tense consistency when describing past and present states. Proofreading carefully for these errors will significantly improve the accuracy of your writing.
