Task Response

4
The letter addresses the main points of the task, including an apology, details about the task, an explanation, and a proposed alternative. However, the letter could be improved by providing more specific details and a more convincing explanation. The tone is generally appropriate, but the language could be more formal and polished. To improve, elaborate on the reasons for your absence and offer a more concrete alternative solution. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

4
The letter's organization is somewhat unclear, and the flow of ideas could be improved. Consider using more explicit transitions between the apology, explanation, and proposed solution to enhance readability. For example, you could start with a clear apology, then transition to the reason for not being able to help, and finally offer an alternative solution or future assistance. Paragraphing could also be improved to separate these distinct parts of your message.

Lexical Resource

5
The vocabulary used is generally adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement in terms of precision and variety. For instance, instead of saying 'the task about painting your outside wall,' you could say 'the task of painting your exterior wall.' Also, consider using more sophisticated vocabulary to express your willingness to help in the future. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

4
The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, 'I write this email to apologize you' should be 'I am writing this email to apologize to you.' Also, 'My boss decide to celebrate' should be 'My boss decided to celebrate.' Pay close attention to verb tense agreement, preposition usage, and sentence structure to improve grammatical accuracy. Proofreading carefully before submitting your writing can help catch these errors.
