Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.5
该回答远低于 150 字的最低字数要求，这严重限制了你充分完成任务的能力。虽然你识别出了一些主要特征，如桌子的移除和入口位置，但描述并不完整。你未能描述当前的布局，也未能对两个时间段进行全面的对比。由于回答未完成且缺乏涵盖题目所有部分所需的细节，因此无法获得更高的分数。为了改进，请确保详细描述“过去”和“现在”的状态，并对关键变化提供清晰的总结。
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.5
该回答在组织结构上进行了基础尝试，包含了 Introduction 和 Overview。然而，文章的突然中断打断了逻辑进程。衔接手段有限；例如，你用“Two decades ago”开头，但由于缺乏进一步的展开，整体结构显得脱节。分段不足，且句子的不完整性阻碍了信息的流畅表达。为了改进，请重点使用更广泛的连接词（例如：'In contrast,' 'Furthermore,' 'Meanwhile'）来逻辑地连接你的观点，并确保每个段落都得到充分展开。
Lexical Resource — Band 5.5
词汇量足以进行基础交流，但缺乏获得更高分数所需的广度和精确度。你使用了一些相关词汇，如“transformation”和“layout”，但存在重复和一些表达生硬的问题，例如“eastsouth”和“eastnorth”，这些都不是标准的地理方位描述。在描述变化时也缺乏多样性。为了改进，尝试结合更多描述地图和变化的精确词汇，如“relocated,” “converted,” “expanded,” 或 “demolished”，并确保使用标准的方位术语。
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.5
回答中包含几处影响清晰度的语法错误。例如，“The maps gives”（主谓一致错误）和“Children's books were on a room”（介词使用错误）。句式结构较为简单，且最后一句不完整，这阻碍了你展示更广泛的复杂句式结构。为了改进，请重点关注主谓一致以及描述位置时介词的正确使用。此外，尝试结合简单句和复杂句，以展示你对写作更好的掌控力。
