Dear Mrs. Barrett

My name is Enes, I am writing to make an enquiry if you still need someone to help you with houshold work next summer.

When it comes to houshold chores, I claim that I am most talented and disciplined person ever because I am familiar with doing all houshold works, thanks to my mom. Let me count what am I able to do regarding houshold work. I can iron, cook palatable dishes, do a mop, even do plumber stuffs.

As a foreign student, I always do part-time job in summer to afford my expenses. In addition it helps a lot to learn about the culture of town and maintain my English. Moreover it is obvious that I will learn numerous and crucial tips about life from you by making profound conversations in English.

I will be avaible between 10 am to 4 pm each day except weekends. As I am a rugby player at college and games take place at weekends.

I look forward to hearing from you, I hope I would be fit your criteria.

Yours sincerely

Enes Alperen ABACI

Task Response

5.5

The letter adequately addresses the task by suggesting how the writer could help Mrs. Barrett, explaining why they would like to do the work, and stating their availability. However, there are some lapses in content and the response could be more focused and detailed. It would be beneficial to provide specific examples of how the writer's skills and availability align with Mrs. Barrett's needs.

Coherence & Cohesion

4.5

The message is generally coherent and can be followed, but there are some issues with cohesion and paragraphing. The letter lacks a clear structure and some ideas are not logically connected. Consider organizing the content into distinct paragraphs to improve coherence. Additionally, using linking words and phrases can help to improve the overall cohesion of the letter.

Lexical Resource

4.5

The writer demonstrates some flexibility and control in their use of vocabulary, but there are instances of awkward or inaccurate word choices. To enhance lexical resource, aim to use a wider range of vocabulary with more precision and sophistication. Additionally, pay attention to collocations and idiomatic expressions to convey ideas more naturally.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

5.5

There is evidence of a fairly wide range of grammatical structures, but the letter is marred by several grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. To improve grammatical range and accuracy, focus on using a variety of sentence structures with more precision. Additionally, pay closer attention to subject-verb agreement, verb tenses, and sentence punctuation.
