Task Response

The report addresses the main changes shown in the maps and provides a general overview of the development. However, the task achievement is limited by some inaccuracies in describing the locations and the nature of the changes. For instance, the report mentions shops replacing fields, whereas the visual description suggests a supermarket. Additionally, some descriptions of direction (e.g., 'rightened side') are imprecise. To improve, ensure that all key features are accurately categorized and that comparisons between the two time periods are more detailed and logically organized. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a basic structure, but the progression of ideas is somewhat disjointed. The use of cohesive devices is limited, and some transitions between sentences feel abrupt. To improve, try to use a wider variety of linking words (e.g., 'In contrast,' 'Furthermore,' 'Regarding the southern area') to guide the reader through the comparisons. Additionally, ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic to improve the logical flow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is functional but quite basic and repetitive. There are several errors in word choice and formation, such as 'rightened side' instead of 'right-hand side' or 'eastern side.' To reach a higher band, aim to use more precise academic vocabulary for describing changes, such as 'transformed into,' 'converted,' 'modernized,' or 'expanded.' Avoid using informal or incorrect phrasing.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and occasionally impede the clarity of the message. There are issues with article usage (e.g., 'Northern side' should be 'the northern side'), subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'fields... was demolished' should be 'fields... were demolished'), and punctuation (e.g., unnecessary commas after 'clear that'). Work on mastering complex sentence structures and ensuring that tense consistency is maintained throughout the report.
