The two maps display the transformation of a small village in the west of Ireland from 2000 to the present year.

Overall, the village has undergone a significant change with the construction of a larger number of housing units and restaurants. Another noticeable feature is that the dock from the river has been removed.

In 2000, there was farmland located in the northwest of the village. Four houses and shops were placed to the west of the main road. Furthermore, a single hotel was situated in the vicinity of the highway. The market in close proximity to the road was transformed into restaurants. Moreover, the dock in the sea has been removed at the present time.

The farmland has been turned into a park this year. The number of houses has significantly increased from 4 to 10. However, the shops have not expanded and remain the same in number. The housing and car park have been made to the northwest of the highway. The hotel adjacent to the road has not changed over the period. The road has been extended in the west and northeast sides of the main road at the present time.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by describing the changes between the two maps, with a clear overall summary and specific details. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions, such as stating the dock has been removed (when it remains unchanged) and not mentioning the additional shop. The structure is logical, but minor lapses in data accuracy and completeness prevent a higher score. To improve, ensure all key features from the visual are accurately reported and avoid contradictory statements.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized and easy to follow. The overview paragraph effectively summarizes the main changes. The body paragraphs logically describe the changes in different areas. However, the transition between the description of the 2000 layout and the present-day changes could be smoother in the third paragraph. Consider using clearer signposting to separate the two time periods within the same sentence or paragraph.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and varied, with good use of terms like 'transformation', 'undergone', 'significant change', 'in close proximity', and 'vicinity'. The report demonstrates a good range of lexical items. To reach a higher band, consider using more sophisticated synonyms for common words (e.g., 'replaced by' instead of 'turned into') and more precise geographical language (e.g., 'northwestern section' instead of 'northwest of the village'). Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a variety of grammatical structures accurately, including passive voice ('has been turned into', 'have been made') and complex sentences. Punctuation is generally correct. There are no significant errors. To achieve a band 9, aim for even greater structural variety, such as using more complex conditional or relative clauses, and ensure flawless control of tense usage throughout.
