Band 4+: You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The maps below show the changes which took place in the resort town of PalmGrove which is 450 kilometers from the nearest city from 1950 to 2000.Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

The report addresses the task by describing the changes in PalmGrove from 1950 to 2000, but it contains several inaccuracies and omissions. For instance, it states that the number of hotels rose by 4 from 1950 to 1975, but the visual description indicates an increase from 6 to 8 (i.e., 2 hotels). Additionally, the report mentions '2 New roads' and a 'slightly bigger beach' which are not supported by the visual description. The description of the year 2000 is incomplete, as it only mentions the removal of docks and does not cover the addition of an airport or the increase in hotels. The report also lacks a clear comparison between the three time periods. To improve, focus on accurately reporting the main changes (e.g., road widening, hotel increases, dock additions, and the airport) and ensure all key features are covered. Organize the information clearly, perhaps by time period, and make explicit comparisons where relevant. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction and a brief overview, but the development is incomplete and lacks logical progression. The second paragraph mixes information about roads, hotels, and beaches without clear sequencing, and the third paragraph is cut off mid-sentence, leaving the report unfinished. Cohesive devices are used sparingly and sometimes inaccurately (e.g., 'Firstly' without a following point). To improve, ensure each paragraph focuses on a clear time period or theme, use linking words to connect ideas smoothly, and complete all points you start.

The vocabulary is adequate but limited, with some repetition (e.g., 'hotels', 'road') and informal phrasing (e.g., 'could help with traffic flow', 'had been removed from the beach'). There are also errors in word choice and spelling (e.g., 'illusrates' for 'illustrates', 'recieved' for 'received', 'two line road' instead of 'two-lane road'). To improve, use a wider range of precise and formal vocabulary, such as 'depicts', 'expanded', 'constructed', and 'relocated', and ensure correct spelling and collocations. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

The report contains a mix of simple and complex structures, but there are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. Examples include subject-verb agreement ('the number of hotels have increased' should be 'has increased'), incorrect tense usage ('2 New roads had been built' should be 'two new roads were built'), and incomplete sentences. Punctuation is also inconsistent. To improve, focus on subject-verb agreement, use a variety of sentence structures accurately, and proofread to ensure all sentences are complete and correctly punctuated.
