Dear Mrs barrete

I saw your advertisment on facebook regarding the need of help at the house during your vaction on my hometown. Since I’m advanced in English and can communicate easily I think I may be the perfect candidat for the ultimate local experience.

Besides my english skills, I have prior experince at the villege’e nursery as a care giver where I used to look after , clean , feed and make sure that the residents needs are met. Adtionally I went to victional training school for hospitality and had an aprenticage experience .

My friends and family usually praise me for my calm, warm and welcoming deminuers, it’s one of my best qualities.

Mrs Barrete if you’re intersted in my profile you can contact me on this e mail adress or my phone number 0669744971 to discuss further details .

With regards,

Rihab

Task Response

The letter addresses the task requirements, suggesting how the writer can help, stating reasons for wanting the job, and providing contact information. However, it omits details about availability. To improve, include specific information about when you will and will not be available to work. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally coherent, but the organization could be improved. Consider dedicating a paragraph to each of the points mentioned in the task instructions: how you can help, why you want the job, and your availability. This would make the letter easier to follow. Also, ensure a smooth flow between sentences and paragraphs by using appropriate linking words and phrases.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement. Try to use more specific and varied vocabulary to describe your skills and experiences. For example, instead of just saying you 'can communicate easily,' you could provide specific examples of your communication skills. Also, pay attention to spelling errors, such as 'advertisment' and 'victional.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Pay close attention to verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, and correct use of articles (a/an/the). For example, 'I saw your advertisment' should be 'I saw your advertisement.' Also, review sentence structure to ensure sentences are clear and grammatically correct. Proofreading carefully before submitting is essential.
