Task Response

The letter addresses the task by explaining the applicant's current situation, suitability, and availability for an interview. However, there are several issues that detract from the overall quality. The letter contains grammatical errors (e.g., 'I been working', 'since I was graduated'), inconsistent tense usage, and some unclear phrasing (e.g., 'I find it interested'). The content is somewhat repetitive and lacks specific details about suitability, such as relevant skills or experience. The tone is generally appropriate but could be more formal and polished. To improve, focus on proofreading for grammatical accuracy, providing more concrete examples of suitability, and ensuring a clear and professional structure.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter follows a logical structure with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a closing. However, the progression of ideas is sometimes unclear due to grammatical errors and awkward phrasing (e.g., 'I am writing this letter to inquire a position waiters that advertise in local newspaper'). The use of cohesive devices is limited, and the overall flow could be improved with clearer sentence structures and better transitions. To enhance coherence, ensure each paragraph focuses on a single idea and use linking words to connect sentences smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and repetitive, with some inappropriate word choices (e.g., 'inquire a position waiters', 'I find it interested'). There is an attempt to use job-related terms, but errors in collocation and word form reduce clarity. A wider range of vocabulary and more precise expressions would improve the letter. For example, instead of 'providing good character such as hardworking', consider 'I possess strong qualities such as hard work, communication skills, adaptability, and a willingness to learn'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains frequent grammatical errors that hinder understanding. Issues include incorrect verb tenses (e.g., 'I been working', 'since I was graduated'), missing articles, subject-verb agreement errors, and incorrect prepositions. Sentence structures are often awkward or incomplete. To improve, focus on basic grammar rules, such as using the correct past tense and present perfect tense, and ensure subject-verb agreement. Proofreading for common errors would also help. For instance, 'I have been working' instead of 'I been working', and 'I graduated' instead of 'I was graduated'.
