Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing both proposed sites and making some comparisons. However, there are several inaccuracies and omissions that detract from the overall clarity. For instance, the description of the town layout is somewhat confusing (e.g., 'city centre is surrounded by industrial area' may not be accurate), and the distances and populations for the neighboring towns are not fully or correctly presented. Additionally, the report lacks a clear comparison of the advantages or disadvantages of each site, which is a key requirement of the task. To improve, focus on accurately summarizing the main features, clearly comparing the two sites in terms of accessibility, location, and potential impact, and ensure all key data (distances, populations, and connections) are correctly included. Also, proofread for spelling and grammatical errors (e.g., 'outskrits', 'cites', 'brandson').

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs, but the flow is disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear references. The overview is somewhat vague and could be more precise. The body paragraphs lack clear topic sentences and the progression of ideas is not always logical. Use cohesive devices more effectively to link ideas within and between sentences, and ensure each paragraph has a clear central focus.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there are several inaccuracies and limited range. Words like 'outskrits' (outskirts), 'cites' (sites), and 'touches its border' are misused or awkward. There is some attempt at paraphrasing, but the report relies on repetitive phrasing. To improve, use a wider range of precise vocabulary related to maps and locations (e.g., 'situated', 'adjacent to', 'intersects', 'accessible via'), and ensure correct word choice and spelling.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors and punctuation issues that impede clarity. There are missing articles, incorrect verb forms, and sentence fragments. For example, 'For the first glance at map' is incorrect, and 'the town has two main infrastructure features' is awkward. The report also lacks variety in sentence structures. To improve, focus on using a mix of simple and complex sentences, ensure subject-verb agreement, and proofread for punctuation and article usage.
