Task Response

The report adequately addresses the task by describing both proposed sites and making some comparisons. It covers the main features, such as location, connectivity, and proximity to housing/industrial areas. However, there are a few omissions and minor inaccuracies (e.g., misspelling of town names, slight confusion about the road distances, and the statement about S2 being surrounded by industry could be clarified). The overall structure is clear, and the word count is sufficient. To improve, ensure all key details are accurately reported and avoid minor spelling errors.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and separate paragraphs for each site. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and punctuation errors (e.g., missing commas, run-on sentences). The use of cohesive devices is basic, and some transitions are abrupt. To improve, ensure each paragraph has a clear topic sentence and use a wider range of linking words and phrases to connect ideas smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, with some appropriate terms like 'outskirts', 'heart of the city', 'well linked', and 'adjacent'. However, there are several spelling errors (e.g., 'super markets', 'infrastucture', 'accessiblity') and some awkward word choices (e.g., 'will be erected', 'routed to'). To achieve a higher score, use more precise and varied vocabulary, and ensure correct spelling and collocations.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains a mix of simple and complex sentences, but there are numerous grammatical errors that affect clarity. Issues include incorrect prepositions ('in outskirts' should be 'on the outskirts'), missing articles ('the town' vs 'town'), subject-verb agreement ('is also adjacent' should be 'it is also adjacent'), and punctuation errors (missing commas, run-on sentences). To improve, focus on sentence structure, article usage, and proofreading for punctuation.
