Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing some main changes, but it contains several inaccuracies and omissions. For instance, it mentions a school on the right side of the river, whereas the description indicates the school is at the top left, and it fails to mention the new shopping centre, which is a key change. The use of comparative and superlative adjectives is limited, and some statements are vague or unclear (e.g., 'the eldest buildings escalated'). To improve, ensure all main changes are covered accurately, use more precise comparative and superlative forms, and avoid irrelevant or inaccurate details.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and paragraphs for each time period. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by unclear referencing (e.g., 'the city' vs. 'the town') and a lack of clear linking between ideas. The overview could be more concise and better highlight the main changes. Paragraphing is adequate but could be improved by more logical grouping of information (e.g., grouping all changes in the north, center, and south).

Lexical Resource

The report uses a range of vocabulary related to urban development (e.g., 'redevelopment', 'transformation', 'expansion', 'facilities'). However, there are some inaccuracies and awkward choices (e.g., 'become enormously bigger', 'necessary buildings', 'eldest buildings escalated'). The use of comparative and superlative adjectives is limited and not always natural. To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary (e.g., 'significant expansion', 'modernized', 'replaced by') and ensure adjectives are used correctly.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of sentence structures, but there are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. Examples include 'the buildings become enormously bigger' (tense inconsistency), 'transforming of housing area' (incorrect gerund usage), 'the eldest buildings escalated' (incorrect word choice), and 'recent school' (should be 'new school'). Punctuation is mostly correct, but there are minor issues (e.g., 'Additionaly' misspelled). To improve, focus on using correct tenses, articles, and prepositions, and ensure subject-verb agreement.
