Task Response

The report generally addresses the requirements of the task, but there are some inaccuracies and omissions. The description of the hotels in 1950 is not entirely accurate, and the report incorrectly states that docks were removed by 2000. To improve, ensure that all key features are accurately represented and that comparisons are clear and precise. Also, pay attention to grammar and sentence structure for better clarity.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report generally presents a clear overview of the changes. However, the organization could be improved for better flow. Consider grouping changes thematically (e.g., accommodation, infrastructure) within each time period. The use of cohesive devices is adequate but could be more varied to enhance the connection between sentences and paragraphs. For example, using 'By 1975' or 'Subsequently' could improve the flow. The final paragraph lacks a clear connection to the previous ones and contains an inaccurate detail about the docks.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is generally appropriate but lacks sophistication. While words like 'plethora' are used, the overall range could be wider. Try to incorporate more specific vocabulary related to urban development and infrastructure. For instance, instead of 'enlarged road system,' you could use 'expanded road network' or 'upgraded road infrastructure.' Also, avoid using the same words repeatedly; find synonyms to add variety. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. There are issues with verb tense consistency ('has developed' vs. 'included'), subject-verb agreement ('hotels has increased'), and article usage ('the resort town'). Sentence structure is also somewhat basic, limiting the complexity of the ideas conveyed. To improve, focus on mastering basic grammar rules and practice constructing more complex sentences using a variety of clauses. Proofread carefully to catch errors before submission.
