Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing this letter to be part of ‘ The book that influenced me the most’ article.

The book that had to most influence on me is called “A beautiful Life”, and it is a self help book. Additionally, it contains stories and life lessons and I believe that it’s aim is to help people get their life on the right track.

After reading this book, I started to study more and it allowed me to focus on what is important in life rather than wasting all my time on video games and movies.

I believe that all self help book contain the same massage. However, in this book the writer used a uniqe style and after reading a number of similiar book, I can say that this one had the most effect on me.

Best Regards,

Hussein Sheikh Wassouf.

Task Response

5.5

The letter addresses the task by describing the book that influenced the writer, explaining how it influenced them, and sharing their opinion on whether it would influence others. However, the response could be more detailed and specific to the book's content and impact. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

5.5

The letter is generally coherent and cohesive, with a clear structure. However, there are some issues with paragraphing and the flow of ideas could be improved for better coherence.

Lexical Resource

5.5

There is a decent range of vocabulary used, but some words are misspelled ('massage' instead of 'message'). More sophisticated vocabulary and expressions could enhance the lexical resource score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

4.5

There are several grammatical errors throughout the letter, such as missing articles ('the most influence'), incorrect verb tense ('had to most influence'), and punctuation errors. More complex sentence structures and accurate grammar would improve the score.
