Task Response

The letter adequately addresses all parts of the task, clearly explaining the issue with the oven, describing the problem, and stating the desired action. The letter is generally well-organized and uses a formal tone. To improve, focus on enhancing the clarity and precision of your language. For instance, avoid phrases like 'not in used' and ensure correct word choices throughout. Additionally, while the inclusion of details like the reference number is good, ensure that the letter maintains a professional tone without sounding overly demanding.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter's organization is somewhat clear, but the flow of ideas could be improved. Consider using more effective paragraphing to separate the explanation of the problem, the description of what went wrong, and the desired resolution. Transition words could also be used to link ideas more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and lacks precision. Try to incorporate more specific and varied vocabulary related to the equipment and the problem encountered. For example, instead of 'a piece of equipment,' you could directly state 'an oven'. Instead of 'burnt in the pluge,' you could say 'burn marks on the plug'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Focus on improving sentence structure, verb tense consistency, and correct use of articles and prepositions. For example, 'i purchased an oven. After 3 days of its used it stopped working on' should be revised for better grammatical accuracy.
