Task Response

The report provides a clear and well-structured overview of the main changes, with a logical organization and appropriate use of comparison. It successfully identifies key features such as the addition of accommodation, restaurant, reception, and pier. However, there are a few minor inaccuracies and omissions: the beach is described as being in the 'northwestern corner' whereas the visual description indicates it is on the southwest end; the report mentions 'a swimming facility' which is not clearly specified in the visual description; and it does not mention the footpaths and vehicle tracks, which are notable features. To improve, ensure that all main features are covered and that descriptions align accurately with the visual information.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear overall statement and a comparison of before and after. However, the flow could be improved by using more cohesive devices to link ideas and avoid repetition. For example, the phrase 'the most notable' is used twice, and the final paragraph could be more smoothly connected to the previous one. Consider using a wider range of linking words and phrases to enhance the overall coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and generally accurate, with some good choices such as 'substantially', 'notable', and 'facilities'. However, there is some repetition (e.g., 'construction' and 'facilities') and a few imprecise terms (e.g., 'swimming facilities' instead of 'swimming pool' or 'swimming area'). To improve, try to use a wider range of synonyms and more precise vocabulary to describe the features and changes.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, with a good mix of sentence structures. However, there are a few minor errors, such as 'A swimming facilities has also been built' (subject-verb agreement) and 'the construction of pier facility' (missing article). Additionally, some sentences are a bit repetitive in structure. To improve, pay attention to subject-verb agreement and article usage, and try to vary sentence structures more.
