The "Before" map shows an undeveloped island featuring a beach on the western side and some palm trees. The "After" map details the addition of tourist facilities: a pier on the southern coast with sailboats; a central reception building linked by a vehicle track to the pier and a nearby restaurant; two clusters of accommodation huts, one with 6 huts to the west and another with 4 huts to the east; a network of footpaths connecting the huts and reception; and a designated swimming area in the sea off the western beach.

The given diagrams depict an island before and after the refurbishment of a few tourist infrastructure.

Overall, the majority of the modernizations were constructed in western two thirds of the island with some tourism amenities, while the eastern part remains in its natural state.

Prior to the development, the island was inhabited with several natural features. There was a beach on the western side of the island, and some vegetation which was denser on the eastern region. Through the upgrade, these features are retained with some buildings surrounding it.

Following the construction, a cluster of houses had been built around the eastern trees and another was on the central region of the island. Right in the middle of two hut-styled accommodation groups is a reception building surrounded by a vehicle track connected to a restaurant in the north and a pier containing 2 ships in the south side of the island. However, these tracks were restricted in only main infrastructure but tourists can reach the beach and other facilities by footpaths.

Task Response

The report provides a clear overview and covers the main features of the maps, including the location of new facilities and the retention of natural features. It makes some comparisons between the before and after states. However, there are a few inaccuracies and omissions: the accommodation clusters are described as being around the eastern trees and central region, but the visual description indicates one cluster to the west and another to the east. Additionally, the report omits the swimming area and the exact number of huts. The language is generally appropriate, but some phrasing could be more precise (e.g., 'inhabited with' should be 'had' or 'featured'). To improve, ensure all key features are mentioned and descriptions align accurately with the visual information.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear overall structure, including an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. The progression from the before state to the after state is logical. However, some cohesive devices could be more varied, and the final sentence is a bit awkwardly phrased, which slightly affects the flow. To improve, ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic and that transitions between ideas are smooth.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and shows a good range, with terms like 'refurbishment,' 'modernizations,' 'retained,' and 'designated' (though 'designated' is not used). There is some repetition (e.g., 'island' and 'trees'), and a few word choices are slightly imprecise (e.g., 'inhabited with' instead of 'covered with' or 'had'). To achieve a higher score, aim for more precise and varied vocabulary, and avoid minor inaccuracies in word usage.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and appropriate use of tenses. However, there are a few errors and awkward phrasings, such as 'inhabited with' (should be 'covered with' or 'had'), 'had been built' (unnecessary past perfect), and 'Right in the middle of two hut-styled accommodation groups' (word order). The final sentence is also unclear. To improve, focus on accuracy and clarity, ensuring that verb tenses are used consistently and that sentences are grammatically correct.
