The two maps demonstrate the changes to a farmland between 2019 and 2023.

In the area to the north of the river, the outdated farm buildings were demolished and has been converted into three holiday cottages by 2023. The greenfield which is to the east of the cottages was developed into a large villi where a road is connected to the three cottages, with bushes planted alongside the road and around the cottages. Furthermore, the polluted river was filtered, with trees planted alongside the river.

In the southern part showed on the map, the old factory was knocked down, replaced by a swimming centre with a lane connecting the front door and the western part of the pool. The forest on the eastern side of the pool has been cleared to make space for the golf course, with plenty of trees planted, surrounding the golf course .

Overall, the area of the farmland shown on the maps was modernised by the replacement of recreational facilities.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by describing the main changes between 2019 and 2023, such as the conversion of farm buildings to holiday cottages, the factory to a swimming pool, and the trees to a golf course. It also notes the improvement of the river from polluted to clean. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions: the report mentions a 'large villi' and a road connecting to the cottages, which are not clearly indicated in the visual description, and it omits the new building with a compass rose. Additionally, the description of the golf course's location and the trees planted around it may be slightly inaccurate. To improve, ensure all key features from the visual are accurately described and avoid introducing details not supported by the visual. Overall, the response is well-structured and covers the main transformations, but minor lapses in accuracy and completeness prevent a higher score.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized and easy to follow, with a clear overall structure. The use of paragraphs for the northern and southern areas is effective. However, the final sentence of the first body paragraph ('Furthermore, the polluted river was filtered...') could be better integrated, and the overall conclusion could be more concise. Minor lapses in cohesion are present, but they do not significantly impede understanding.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a good range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, such as 'demolished', 'converted', 'developed', 'filtered', 'knocked down', and 'cleared'. There is some repetition (e.g., 'trees planted' appears multiple times) and a few imprecise word choices (e.g., 'villi' instead of 'villa', 'lane' instead of 'path' or 'road'). Overall, the lexical resource is adequate and mostly accurate, but lacks the sophistication and flexibility of a higher band score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including passive voice and complex sentences. However, there are some errors in subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'the outdated farm buildings were demolished and has been converted' should be 'have been converted') and awkward phrasing (e.g., 'In the southern part showed on the map' should be 'shown on the map'). Punctuation is generally correct, but the errors and occasional lack of clarity prevent a higher score.
