The state of the coastal town of Pentlad in 1950 and 2007 is shown on the illustrations. Overall, only the road and the sea remained the same, while other objects were replaced.

Starting from the southwest side of the town, the grassland was turned into cinema, shops and multi story car park. Moving to north, the swimming pool and park replaced the industrial area. In the central part of the top the sea was kept, but the yacht marina was added next to that.

Now moving from northeast to southwest, car park was replaced by apartments. In the right bottom of the maps, we can see that shops and houses replaced the grassland.

Task Response

The report covers the main changes between the two maps of Pentland in 1950 and 2007. However, there is room for improvement in terms of organization and detail. To improve, consider structuring the report more clearly, perhaps by grouping changes geographically or thematically. Also, try to include more specific details about the changes, such as the exact locations and sizes of the new developments. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report provides a general overview and attempts to group changes logically. However, the transitions between descriptions could be smoother. Consider using more varied cohesive devices to improve the flow and clarity of the report. For example, instead of repeatedly stating 'replaced', try using synonyms or rephrasing to indicate transformation or development.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for describing the changes, but there's room for improvement. Using more precise and varied vocabulary could enhance the description. For instance, instead of just saying 'replaced,' you could use words like 'transformed,' 'developed into,' or 'converted to' to add more nuance. Also, consider using more specific terms related to urban development. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains grammatical errors and phrasing issues that affect clarity. While the overall meaning is understandable, correcting these errors would significantly improve the report's quality. Focus on sentence structure, correct tense usage, and accurate preposition usage. For example, 'the grassland was turned into cinema, shops and multi story car park' could be improved for grammatical accuracy and clarity.
