Task Response

The report appropriately addresses the task by describing the main changes between the two maps. It provides a clear overview and organizes the information logically. However, there are a few inaccuracies and omissions: the dock is stated to be removed/demolished, but the visual description indicates it remains unchanged; the description of the housing expansion could be more precise; and the location of the car park is mentioned as 'in the east' but the visual description says it was added, without specifying exact placement. These minor lapses prevent a higher score, but overall the response is relevant and sufficient.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized with a clear overall statement and logical progression. Paragraphing is appropriate, and cohesive devices are used effectively. Minor lapses: 'the number of housing is increased' could be more natural, and the final sentence could be better linked to the previous one. Overall, the message is easy to follow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is varied and appropriate for the task (e.g., 'converted', 'redeveloped', 'demolished', 'constructed'). There is good use of synonyms and precise terms. Minor issues: 'the number of housing' should be 'the number of houses' or 'housing has increased', and 'redesigned into' could be 'converted into'. Overall, lexical control is strong. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including passive voice and complex sentences. There are minor errors: 'the number of housing is increased' should be 'the number of houses has increased' or 'housing has increased', and 'redesigned into' is slightly awkward. Punctuation is generally correct. Overall, grammar is accurate with only minor slips.
