Letter

Band 7+: A friend has agreed to look after your house and pet while you are on holiday. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter: - give contact details for when you are away, - give instructions about how to care for your pet, - describe other household duties you would like your friend to undertake. When giving contact details, you do NOT need to write any addresses; something like the name of a friend you are staying with or a holiday destination is fine.

Dear Nilam,

Thank you for agreeing to stay at my place and taking care of Charlie while I am away in Vancouver next week. If you need me at any time, feel free to contact me in my phone number (4375598346), or you can just sent me a text message. In case of emergency, you can also reach out to my brother at nischalbhatta94@gmail.com.

Charlie usually wakes up early in the morning. She starts her day with a cup of dog food and water. Once she eats, I take her out for about 30 minutes of walking. She loves her stuffed toy, which is beside the living room. She also loves sitting on the balcony in the evening with a little treat for her. Her medicine are all inside the fridge incase of any emergencies.

While you are here, I would truly appreciate if you could water the plants two times a week, especially the one at the balcony. Also please receive any parcel from amazon because I am expecting some orders to be delivered this week .

Thanks again for your help. I will be home with a especial gift for you.

Best wishes,

nirose

Task Response

The letter appropriately covers all requirements of the task, providing relevant and sufficient information regarding contact details, pet care instructions, and household duties. The tone is friendly and the instructions are clear. There are a few minor areas for improvement, such as proofreading for typos ('sent' instead of 'send', 'especial' instead of 'special') and ensuring consistent formatting. Overall, it's a well-written letter.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally well-organized and easy to follow. The instructions are clear, and the requests are reasonable. To improve coherence, consider using more transitional phrases to connect ideas within paragraphs and between them. For example, in the second paragraph, you could add a phrase like "Regarding Charlie's care" to introduce the instructions. In the third paragraph, starting with "In addition to this" would improve the flow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and generally accurate. To enhance the lexical resource, try incorporating a wider range of synonyms and more descriptive language. For instance, instead of "a cup of dog food," you could say "her usual portion of kibble." Instead of "a little treat," consider specifying what kind of treat or using a more descriptive term like "a small biscuit." Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, with only a few minor errors. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and correct article usage. For example, "Her medicine are all inside the fridge" should be "Her medicines are all inside the fridge." Also, "especial gift" should be "special gift." Proofreading carefully can help catch these small errors.
