The produced illustrations demonstrate the variations to be occurred at an airport in an upcoming year.

Overall, it can be explicitly seen that the place will undergo dramatic changes, but the most noticeable changes would be sky trains, shape of concourse and car hire.

Delving deeper into the given data, it is crystal clear that the most significant variation after refurbishment will be the shape of concourse, from square to y-shaped, adding more gates from 8 to 18 in the forward year. Subsequently, the walkway is proposed to be modified into a sky train. Next, the security passport control and passport control custom area will remain identical. The departure as well as arrival gates suggested to be doubled.

Looking at further details, the cafe would shift to the arrival block as well as at the left corner of departure gate, replaced by check-in block. On present place of check-in, bag drop is planned to be constructed. Moreover, along with an ATM, the are is going to be enlarged for a car hire in future.

Task Response

The report adequately covers the main features of the airport redevelopment plans and makes relevant comparisons. However, there are some areas for improvement. The organization is generally clear, but could benefit from more precise language and a stronger focus on the most significant changes. Some of the language used is a bit unnatural (e.g., "variations to be occurred", "crystal clear"). Also, while the report mentions several changes, it could benefit from a more concise summary of the overall impact of the redevelopment. To improve, focus on using more natural and precise language, and ensure that the most important changes are highlighted effectively.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report generally presents a clear overview of the changes to the airport. However, the organization could be improved for better flow. Consider grouping similar changes together and using more explicit transition words to guide the reader. For instance, you could dedicate a paragraph to the changes within the concourse and another to the additions outside of it. The phrase "Delving deeper into the given data" is a bit verbose; simpler transitions would be more effective.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary related to airport layouts and renovations. Terms like "refurbishment," "concourse," and "sky train" are used appropriately. However, some phrases are slightly unnatural (e.g., "variations to be occurred," "crystal clear"). Aim for more concise and natural phrasing. For example, instead of "variations to be occurred," you could say "changes that will occur."

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report exhibits a mix of simple and complex sentence structures. However, there are noticeable grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, "the cafe would shift to the arrival block as well as at the left corner of departure gate, replaced by check-in block" is awkward and unclear. Pay closer attention to sentence structure, verb tense consistency, and correct use of prepositions. Proofreading carefully can help identify and correct these errors.
