Introduction
Your introduction effectively sets the context for the comparison. To further enhance the introduction, consider directly mentioning that your essay will compare the current layout with the future redevelopment plans.
Comparative Language
In discussing the changes, it's helpful to maintain a consistent and comparative approach throughout. Where you’ve outlined the existing and future changes well, sometimes adding explicit comparison phrases ('will be replaced by', 'will be transformed into') could strengthen the comparison between the two time periods.
Conclusion
Your conclusion summarises the changes adequately, but it could be strengthened by explicitly referencing the most significant changes or the overall impact of the redevelopment on the sports centre's functionality.
Coherence
To enhance coherence, consider using more transitional phrases that indicate time or change (e.g., 'subsequently', 'following this', 'as a result') to more clearly delineate between the current state and future plans.
Detail and Depth
Your description benefits from a good level of detail and comparisons, making your essay informative. However, for an even stronger Task Achievement score, ensure every part of the prompt is covered with equal depth, including minor changes that add to the overall understanding of the redevelopment.
Clarity and Detail
You effectively reported on the main features and changes in the sports centre, giving clear descriptions of both the current and future layouts.
Structure
Your essay demonstrates a good structure, with a clear introduction, body paragraphs detailing the changes, and a conclusion. This structure aids in reader understanding.
