【正确答案】Sample C
The aim of this report is to decide the consideration of building a new supermarket.
Description
At first I'll make a short description of the site. The location of the planed supermarket is very close to the city centre and surrounded by a lot of smaller shops. Concerning the infrastructure it is very well located because it can be reached by nearly all means of transport.
Advantages
As I already mentioned, the infrastructure is very good and you have good connections of public means of transport. Another positiv aspect for building the supermarket is the competition. Our supermarket can offer much cheaper prices than all the surrounding little shops so we are very competitive.
Disadvantages
The first thing I want to put forward is that it is very cost intensive to set up a new supermarket in this area because the land prices are very high. The second disadvantage which I want to point out is that there is not enough space for parking and might be very expensive to build a garage under the building.
Personal opinion
To summarise, it is a very expensive location with less space for building a parking area but you have good chances for getting a high profit in the long term. Although there are a lot of smaller shops nearby the supermarket, there is no doubt in being the most competitive! Finally I think that this will be a very profitable location for building a new supermarket.
Band 4
This is an ambitious attempt at the task, showing a good range of language, although it is not error- free. It is generally well organised, but the register is not wholly appropriate.

To the board of directors
Dear sirs,
You herewith receive my report acc. to the build of our new supermarket. I had a visit at the place the supermarket is planned to be build last week and I am totally excited to let you know following
First of all a lot of work has to be done because there is a hill at the site. But there are no other buildings that have to be debuilt. The site is near a busy motorway and nearby is a big company.
I think there will be enough customers (from the company or from the motorway) who would be attracted by our new supermarket because the site is on their daily way to work. Furthermore there is a big area to build the parking on it. But there is also the parking from the other company available because there is plenty of free parking spaces. I already talked to the director of that firm and he confirmed that it is always free because they have a second one. The only claim I have is, as I already mentioned above, that there is a hill on the site.
But my opinion is that we will not find a more appropriate and cheaper place for the new supermarket than that. The location is good, we can save money regarding the parking and lots of customers are near.
Because of that little hill the place is also not that much expensive to buy as expected.
Yours Sincerely
Stefanie Seidel
Band 2
Although all the content points are covered, the limited range of structures and vocabulary, numerous non-impeding errors and the inconsistent register make this answer a band 2.
