Task Response

The letter addresses all three bullet points: it states the membership type and payment method, describes benefits, and explains the reason for leaving. However, there are some inaccuracies and unclear expressions (e.g., 'I am have a gold member', 'there is benefit to I get extra hour', 'I am get discount') that affect clarity. The overall structure is logical, but the language errors and occasional irrelevant details (e.g., specific session descriptions) slightly detract from the task achievement. To improve, focus on using correct grammar and clearer, more concise phrasing while ensuring all information is directly relevant to the purpose.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter has a clear overall structure with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a closing, but the flow is often disrupted by grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. The ideas are presented in a logical order (membership type, benefits, reason for leaving), but the lack of clear paragraphing and the frequent errors make it difficult to follow effortlessly. To improve, use clear topic sentences for each paragraph and ensure each paragraph focuses on a single main idea. Also, use cohesive devices (e.g., 'firstly', 'in addition', 'however') to link ideas more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and sometimes inaccurate (e.g., 'balanceness', 'gladfully', 'serenity' used as a noun in an odd context). There is some attempt to use a range of words (e.g., 'terminate', 'benefited', 'recharge'), but the overall control is limited. To improve, expand your vocabulary for common topics like membership, fitness, and work, and use words in their correct forms. For example, use 'balance' instead of 'balanceness', and 'gladly' instead of 'gladfully'. Also, avoid informal or incorrect expressions like 'cut the cost' - use 'deducted from my account'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains numerous grammatical errors that significantly affect clarity. There are issues with verb tenses (e.g., 'I am have', 'I am get', 'Since I joining'), subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'I am cannot'), and word order (e.g., 'there is benefit to I get'). Punctuation is also inconsistent. To improve, focus on using correct verb forms and tenses, and practice constructing simple and complex sentences accurately. Review basic grammar rules for present and past tenses, and ensure that each sentence has a clear subject and verb. Consider using a grammar checker or seeking feedback from a teacher to identify and correct these patterns.
