Hi Sara,

How are you doing? I received your letter regarding babysitting and prices for one hour service. Unfortunately, I will not be able to babysit on coming Saturday as I have an urgent meeting with my groupmates at the university. We are working on a presentation together and weekend is the only day when all students are free. Moreover, as deadline is next Monday we have to complete it during weekend. I am very sorry that I cannot help you with this on this weekend. However, I will be available next weekend if you still need a babysitter. I charge 20 US dollars per hour and transportation fee is included to it. Please let me know if you want me to come next weekend.

Take care.

Mila.

Task Response

8
The letter fully addresses the task requirements by explaining the unavailability, offering an alternative, and stating the fee. The information is relevant and sufficient. Occasional omissions or lapses are acceptable at this level, and the letter demonstrates excellent overall quality. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

6
The letter is generally well-organized and easy to follow. The purpose of the letter is clear from the beginning, and the information is presented in a logical order. However, there are a few areas where the flow could be improved. For example, the transition between explaining why you can't babysit this weekend and offering to babysit next weekend could be smoother. Consider using transition phrases to connect these ideas more explicitly. Also, ensure each paragraph focuses on a single main idea to enhance clarity.

Lexical Resource

6
The vocabulary used is appropriate for the task. However, there's room to enhance the letter by incorporating a wider range of vocabulary and more natural expressions. For instance, instead of 'urgent meeting,' you could use 'prior engagement' or 'previous commitment.' Varying your word choice can make the letter sound more sophisticated and engaging.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

5
The letter demonstrates a good command of grammar, but there are some errors that affect the overall accuracy. Pay close attention to verb tense consistency and subject-verb agreement. For example, 'transportation fee is included to it' could be improved to 'transportation fee is included.' Proofreading carefully can help catch these errors.
