Overall assessment

The response covers all major changes across the site with a clear overview and generally accurate comparisons, showing strong control of complex structures and topic-specific vocabulary. The main limitation is a handful of imprecise or confusing details, such as the description of the apartment and parking arrangements on the eastern side, which slightly blur the accuracy of the report.

TA

Task Achievement

The response presents a clear overview and covers the main changes, including new housing, communal gardens, garages and private roads. However, describing housing as expanding incorrectly implies that it already exists, and the eastern apartment and parking arrangement needs greater precision.

7.0
CC

Coherence and Cohesion

Ideas are logically organised by area with clear progression and a good range of cohesive devices, although occasional phrasing such as 'on arrival, residents will benefit from another apartment' slightly obscures the message.

LR

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is varied and generally appropriate for describing redevelopment, including “communal gardens” and “office complex”. Some collocations are less precise: gardens are described as “erected”, and “knocked down” is applied jointly to a parking space and a storage room.

GRA

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

A wide range of complex structures is used with control, including relative and participial constructions like 'to the north of which is an entrance', with only occasional errors in form affecting precision.
