Dear Maria,

I am writing this letter to thank you for agreeing to take care of my dog and my home while I visit my parents in India. I appreciate you coming forward and helping me. Let me give you some helpful pointers that will help you when you are here.

Firstly, I would like to share my contact details. My phone number is +16475551324 and my email is niyati@email.com. This will be helpful if you need to get in touch with me. Additionally, I have kept Bruno’s food in the wooden drawers in the living room. He needs feeding thrice a day and you will have to take him for a walk.

Finally, I would just recommend you be careful with the house keys because the new pair is expensive.

Thank you for your consideration.

Yours faithfully,

Niyati

Task Response

5.5

The task is partially addressed; key aspects are missing, such as specific instructions for pet care and a description of other household duties. More detail is needed to achieve a higher score. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is easy to follow, with a clear structure. However, more cohesive devices and improved paragraphing would enhance the flow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks range and precision. More descriptive language and varied vocabulary would improve the score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, with minor errors. A wider range of grammatical structures would improve the score.
