Dear Sir,

I am writing to follow up on the status of my radio which I gave it to you for repair a week ago. That radio was bought by me two weeks ago from your shop on a boxing day sale.

After a week, that radio suddenly stop functioning and started making some weird noise. I was so frustrated because I bought it for my grandfather as a birthday gift. As this happens, Instantly, I took it to your service department for the repair.

It has been already a week since I gave it to the shop and I did not heard anything regarding it’s repair. Can you please explain a reason for this delay, and get back to me as soon as you can. Also, if it takes long time to get it running as previous, I would like to request for a new piece as a replacement.

I hope you will help me in this manner and reply me as soon as you can.

Thank you. Regards,

Jay.

Task Response

The letter adequately addresses the task by explaining the situation and expressing the need for a quick repair or replacement. However, the word count is below the minimum requirement of 150 words. To improve, the letter should include more details about the inconvenience caused by the faulty radio and the impact on the recipient's grandfather.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally coherent and cohesive, with ideas presented in a logical order. However, there are some lapses in coherence and cohesion, such as the abrupt transition between the description of the radio issue and the request for an explanation for the delay. Additionally, the paragraphing could be improved for better organization of ideas.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is sufficient to convey the message, but there is room for improvement in terms of range and precision. Consider using more varied and sophisticated vocabulary to express frustration and urgency. Additionally, some expressions are awkward or unclear, affecting the overall lexical resource.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter demonstrates a reasonable range of grammatical structures, but there are noticeable errors in punctuation, tense consistency, and sentence structure. To enhance grammatical accuracy, pay closer attention to subject-verb agreement, verb tenses, and the use of appropriate punctuation marks.
