Task Response

The report attempts to address the task by describing some changes between 1995 and the present. However, there are several inaccuracies and misinterpretations of the visual information. For example, the report mentions an increase in houses and a new road on the left, which may not be accurate based on the description. It also incorrectly states that the tennis court was replaced by a forest park, while the description indicates the forest park was removed. Additionally, the report mentions the addition of a fishing port in the present, whereas the description says it was removed. The report could be improved by more accurately selecting and reporting the main features and making clearer comparisons. Ensure that the overview highlights the most significant changes and that the body paragraphs focus on key developments without introducing incorrect details.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and paragraphs describing changes in different areas. However, the logical flow is sometimes disrupted by unclear references (e.g., 'the west part of the area was less developed, compared with 2026' is confusing as the comparison is not clear). The use of cohesive devices is basic and occasionally inaccurate (e.g., 'Furthemore' is misspelled, and 'On the other hand' is used incorrectly as there is no contrast being made). Paragraphing is attempted but could be more skillfully managed to group related changes more effectively.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate for the task but lacks range and precision. There are several errors in word choice and spelling (e.g., 'belows' instead of 'shows', 'abjacent' instead of 'adjacent', 'mentionally' instead of 'significantly', 'aparments' instead of 'apartments'). The report relies on repetitive phrases like 'has been added' and 'has been replaced'. More sophisticated and varied vocabulary could be used to describe changes (e.g., 'transformed', 'converted', 'developed'). Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report attempts a range of grammatical structures but contains frequent errors that affect clarity. Subject-verb agreement errors are common (e.g., 'Two houses has been built', 'the tennis court has been changed'). There are issues with tense consistency and article usage. Some sentences are awkwardly phrased (e.g., 'the south area was expanding mentionally by adding the fishing port'). Punctuation is generally adequate but could be improved. To improve, focus on subject-verb agreement, correct use of passive voice, and clearer sentence construction.
