The scheme illustrates the possible establishment areas for the new supermarket in the Garlson town.

Overall, it is true that Garlson town’s population is sixty-five thousand, for whom there are two planned sites of the supermarket. While site one is planned to be built in countryside, the other one is planned to be placed in the town center.

The site one is planned to be located at north-west from the town centre in a rural area, between the railway and the main road, where the closest town is Hindon with a population of ten thousand citizens, twelve kilometres away from the future supermarket.

Conversly, it is offered that the site two should be based in the centre of the Garlson town where no traffic is occured. It is clear that the town centre is circled with the industrial area with the houseings which are located on the north and the south. The railway passes through the town centre, while the main road is only visible on the countryside which has two ways. They either lead to Branston on the west, sixteen kilomentres away from the centre, or to Cransdon which is twenty-five kilomentres away.

Task Response

The report covers the main requirements of the task by identifying the two potential sites and describing their locations in relation to the town's geography. The overview effectively highlights the primary difference between the two sites (rural vs. town center). To improve, ensure that comparisons between the two sites are more explicit, focusing on the implications of their locations (e.g., accessibility or proximity to residential areas). Additionally, be careful with minor grammatical errors and word choices, such as 'no traffic is occured' and 'houseings', to ensure a smoother academic tone.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure, moving from an introduction to an overview and then to specific site descriptions. However, the progression is somewhat hindered by mechanical transitions and some awkward phrasing. To improve, focus on using a wider variety of cohesive devices and ensure that the relationship between sentences is more fluid. For example, instead of starting every sentence with the subject, try using subordinating conjunctions to link ideas (e.g., 'While Site 1 is located in the rural outskirts, Site 2 is situated...').

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there is a lack of sophistication and precision. There are several spelling errors (e.g., 'kilomentres', 'houseings', 'Cransdon') and some repetitive phrasing (e.g., 'is planned to be'). To reach a higher band, aim to use more varied synonyms for 'located' or 'placed' (such as 'situated', 'positioned', or 'nestled') and ensure that all technical terms and place names are spelled correctly throughout the report.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex structures, but grammatical errors are frequent and occasionally impede clarity. Issues include incorrect preposition usage ('at north-west from'), subject-verb agreement/tense errors ('no traffic is occured'), and article errors ('the site one'). Work on mastering the use of prepositions of place and ensuring that passive voice constructions are used accurately, as these are essential for describing maps and planned developments.
