Task Response

The letter addresses all three bullet points: it states the desired extension (two years), explains the reason (permanent job with company paying rent), and mentions a problem (balcony drainage). The tone is polite and the structure is clear. However, there are some omissions and lapses: the specific end date of the original agreement is unclear, the problem description is brief, and the letter lacks a clear request for the owner's response regarding the extension. To improve, ensure all points are fully developed and the letter flows logically. Also, proofread for spelling and grammar errors (e.g., 'writting', 'apartment', 'drainase'). The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter lacks clear paragraphing and logical flow. Ideas are presented in a single block without clear separation. The message is somewhat difficult to follow due to abrupt transitions and missing connectors. Consider organizing the letter into distinct paragraphs for each purpose: extending the rental, explaining the change, and reporting the problem. Use linking words like 'firstly', 'in addition', 'however' to improve cohesion.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is limited and repetitive (e.g., 'renting' used multiple times). There are errors in word choice ('permit me to renting', 'drainase'). Attempts at formal language are inconsistent ('wanna' is too informal). Expand your vocabulary with more precise terms like 'extend the lease', 'permanent position', 'drainage issue'. Avoid contractions and slang in formal letters.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are frequent grammatical errors: incorrect verb forms ('am writting', 'will renting'), missing articles ('for six month agreement'), and subject-verb agreement ('balcony have'). Punctuation is missing (e.g., after 'comes'). Work on basic tenses and sentence structure. Use present perfect for recent changes ('I have obtained a permanent position'). Proofread for spelling ('aparment', 'writting').
