The two maps show the changes to an area of farmland between 2019 and 2023.

Overall, the area changed a lot over the four-year period. It was changed from a farming and industrial area into a place for tourism and leisure, with many new facilities being built.

In the north of the area, the old farm buildings were replaced by holiday cottages in 2023. The open farmland was also changed into roads and land for the new cottages. In addition, the polluted river became clean, and many trees were planted along both sides of the river.

In the south, the old factory was removed and replaced by a swimming pool. At the same time, most of the trees were cut down to make space for a golf course. New roads were also built around the swimming pool, making it easier for visitors to travel around the area.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by describing the key changes between the two maps. It provides a clear overview and organizes the information logically by location (north and south). The language is appropriate and the report is well-structured. However, there are a few minor omissions: the report mentions 'many trees were planted along both sides of the river' and 'new roads were built around the swimming pool,' which are not explicitly stated in the visual description. Additionally, the report does not mention the new building with a compass rose north of the cottages. Despite these, the overall response is strong and covers the main transformations well. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is exceptionally well-organized and easy to follow. The overview clearly summarizes the main trend, and the body paragraphs logically describe changes in the north and south separately. Cohesive devices are used naturally and effectively, and paragraphing is skillfully managed.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is precise and varied, with natural and sophisticated control. Words like 'replaced by', 'converted into', 'removed', and 'planted' are used accurately. The report demonstrates full flexibility in lexical choice without any awkwardness. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

A wide range of grammatical structures is used with full flexibility and control. Sentences are varied in structure, including passive voice ('were replaced', 'was removed'), and complex clauses. Punctuation and grammar are correct throughout, with no errors.
