TEST 1, WRITING TASK 1
This is an answer written by a candidate who achieved a 
Band 6.0 score.
The two maps illustrates the norbiton area in the present days, as well as, the planned development. 
Overall, the norbiton industrial area is located at the east side of the town, with a river on the 
north, separating the farmland from the industrial area, which is located in the center of the map, 
represented by a few factory biuldings and roads, followed by the main road at the extreme south 
of the map.
the planned development shows a substantially growth and modifications of the overall 
infrastructure of the area between the farmland and the main road.
Firstly, the planned development of the norbiton area replaces what once were factories
for housings.
Moreover, the roads have been developed to acomodate all the new biuldings that have been 
planned for the area, which are, a school and a playground to the east side of the roundabout 
located in the center of the map, as well as shops and a medical center around the round about.
Secondly, a bridge is planned for the north of the map to cross the river and provide acess to the 
housing that will be located in farmland.
Here is the examiner’s comment:
This response covers the key changes to be made to the industrial area, although 
more detail could be provided, for example, housing to the west of the roundabout. 
There is an overview in the second paragraph and the response could be improved 
by adding a summary of the main changes. 
Ideas are arranged coherently, with some effective use of cohesive devices [what 
once were], sequencing adverbs [Firstly | Secondly] and referencing [which | that].
There is some less common vocabulary but spelling is often inaccurate [acomodate 
/ accommodate | biuldings / buildings] and word formation is incorrect [substantially 
growth / substantial growth]. 
To achieve a higher score, the candidate would need to reduce the number of 
errors in vocabulary and sentence structure.
