Surrounding the building are a "Path / walkway" along the west and leading south from the main entrance, and "Grass / green area" populated with trees. In "College Café – When It First Opened", the southwest outdoor section is labeled "Grass area (with benches)" containing 1 "Bench".

The two maps illustrate how the layout of a college cafe transformed between its original design and the present day.

Turning to the southern section of the site, some significant changes can be observed. The grass area with benches, which is not present in the new design, has been converted into an outdoor seating area. Similarly, the space that was previously covered by grass in the southeast direction, has been replaced by a barbecue area. Despite, a few redevelopment in the southern section, the main entrance retained its original position.

In the northern section of the site, interestingly, neither the kitchen nor the toilets have not experienced any changes in both maps. Likewise, the indoor seating area, where tables and chairs are arranged, remained unchanged. The counter area is located in the same direction and has not experienced any changes.

Overall, although a college cafe underwent some significant changes, most of its areas; including the kitchen, toilet, counter, indoor seating area and main entrance remained unchanged over the period in the new cafe design.

Task Response

The report appropriately addresses the task by describing the main changes and noting the unchanged features. The structure is clear, with separate paragraphs for the southern and northern sections, and an overall summary. However, there are a few minor lapses: the phrase 'neither the kitchen nor the toilets have not experienced any changes' contains a double negative, and the report omits the outdoor seating area's specific details (e.g., number of tables) and the barbecue area's equipment. Additionally, the side entrance and path/walkway are not mentioned. To improve, ensure grammatical accuracy and consider including all key features from the maps for a more complete response.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized and generally easy to follow. The use of paragraphs for the southern and northern sections is appropriate, and the overall summary is clear. However, the transition between the two body paragraphs could be smoother, and the phrase 'Turning to the southern section' is a bit abrupt as an opening. Additionally, the final sentence of the first body paragraph ('Despite, a few redevelopment...') is awkwardly phrased and disrupts the flow. Consider using more cohesive devices to link ideas within and between paragraphs, such as 'In contrast' or 'Furthermore', and ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a good range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, such as 'transformed', 'converted', 'replaced', and 'retained'. There is some repetition of phrases like 'has not experienced any changes' and 'remained unchanged', which could be varied for better lexical flexibility. Also, the phrase 'a few redevelopment' is ungrammatical and should be 'a few redevelopments' or 'some redevelopment'. Overall, the vocabulary is adequate but could be more sophisticated and precise, especially in describing changes and locations.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and relative clauses. However, there are a few noticeable errors: 'Despite, a few redevelopment' should be 'Despite a few redevelopments' (missing article and incorrect noun form), and 'neither the kitchen nor the toilets have not experienced' contains a double negative; it should be 'have experienced no changes' or 'have not experienced any changes'. Additionally, the use of semicolons in the final sentence is incorrect; a colon or comma would be more appropriate. These errors, while not frequent, prevent the report from achieving a higher band score.
