Task Response

The report covers the main changes to the island and provides a reasonable overview. However, there is room for improvement in terms of organization and detail. For example, you could group the changes more logically (e.g., focusing on the pier and its connections, then the accommodation and recreational facilities). Also, be more specific with locations (e.g., 'north-east' instead of just 'north'). The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report presents the information in a generally logical order, but the connections between sentences and ideas could be strengthened. The use of cohesive devices is present but not always effective, leading to some choppiness. Consider using a wider range of linking words and phrases to improve the flow and clarity of your writing. For example, in the final paragraph, the connection between the location of the restaurant, reception, and pier could be made more explicit.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is generally adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement in terms of precision and variety. Some phrases are a bit generic (e.g., "significant changes," "were done"). Try to use more specific and descriptive language to paint a clearer picture of the changes. For instance, instead of "more greenery," you could specify the type of vegetation or the extent of the green area.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. There are issues with verb tense consistency, subject-verb agreement, and article usage. For example, "the island has been untouched before the construction" is awkward and could be rephrased. Similarly, "In the west and in the north accommodations were constructed" has an issue with preposition usage and word order. Proofreading carefully and focusing on basic grammar rules will help improve accuracy.
