Task Response

The report addresses the main changes between the current hospital layout and the future plans, such as the replacement of the offices with a fitness centre and the change in the emergency department. However, the response lacks a clear, cohesive structure and contains several inaccuracies in how the changes are described. The overview is somewhat repetitive, and the use of cohesive devices (e.g., 'Although', 'Nextly', 'Beside that') is often incorrect or awkward. To improve, focus on grouping changes logically (e.g., changes to buildings vs. changes to infrastructure) and ensure that the descriptions of spatial relationships and transformations are precise and grammatically accurate.

Coherence & Cohesion

The organization of ideas is somewhat disjointed, making it difficult for the reader to follow the progression of changes. The use of cohesive devices is frequent but often inaccurate (e.g., 'Although', 'Then', 'Nextly', 'Beside that'), which disrupts the flow rather than aiding it. To improve, try to group changes logically - for example, one paragraph for changes to infrastructure (roads/parking) and another for changes to buildings. Avoid starting sentences with 'Although' unless you are connecting two contrasting clauses within the same sentence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is quite limited and repetitive. There is an over-reliance on basic verbs like 'is going to be' and 'changed'. Some word choices are imprecise or unnatural, such as 'medicine central' instead of 'hospital' or 'renovated longer'. To reach a higher band, aim to use more specific academic vocabulary related to maps and development, such as 'redeveloped', 'relocated', 'transformed', 'expanded', or 'converted'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are frequent grammatical errors that impact clarity. Issues include subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'all building... is', 'maps... is'), incorrect article usage, and awkward sentence structures (e.g., 'instead of the cafe is going to added'). There is also a heavy reliance on the 'going to' future construction. Try to vary your grammatical structures by using the passive voice (e.g., 'The offices will be replaced by...') and more complex sentence forms to describe simultaneous changes.
