Task Response

The report addresses the main requirements of the task by identifying the key changes between the current hospital layout and the future plans. You have successfully noted the replacement of the offices and the accident and emergency department, as well as the expansion of the car park and roads. However, the response would benefit from a more organized structure and more precise language. Some phrasing is slightly repetitive, particularly in the conclusion, which largely restates the body paragraphs. To improve, try to avoid repeating the same information in the conclusion and focus on using more varied cohesive devices to link your observations more smoothly.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a basic structure with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. However, the progression of ideas is somewhat repetitive, particularly because the conclusion essentially restates the body paragraphs almost verbatim. To improve, try to use the conclusion to summarize the overall trend rather than listing every specific change again. Additionally, the use of cohesive devices like 'Firstly', 'Secondly', and 'Furthermore' is mechanical. Aim for more natural transitions that link the ideas logically rather than just listing them.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is functional but limited and repetitive. There are several instances of awkward phrasing, such as 'the disappearance of emergency and accident will be welcomed a new cafe added' and 'the hospital is going to be changed tremendously with some places will be removed'. To reach a higher band, work on using more precise academic verbs (e.g., 'remodelled', 'transformed', 'relocated', 'expanded') and avoid repetitive structures like 'is going to be'. Ensure that word choices are used in the correct grammatical context.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and occasionally impede the clarity of the message. There are issues with subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, and sentence structure (e.g., 'the main hospital building is going to be remained' should be 'will remain'). There are also errors in comparative structures, such as 'a large size than before' instead of 'larger than before'. Focus on mastering basic sentence structures, particularly the use of the passive voice for describing changes in maps, and ensure that complex sentences are constructed accurately.
