Dear neighbour Sara,

I hope this letter finds you well when you receive it.How are you and your family? I hope all of you are doing well. I hope you do not mind that I am writing this letter, but unfortunately, your dogs are barking a lot, and it is very disturbing. So, I hope if we could find some solutions to fix that problem.

To begin with, as you know, I work night shift and during the day I need to sleep. But because of, your dog is barking too much under the day, so I have not been able to sleep. It is has affected my performance in the work very much, and I have get some problems at my job due to that I have not been able to sleep enough or relaxing furthermore, I cannot sit out in my garden to enjoy the summer time, because your dog are braking and it isvery disturbing and distracting. Also, some of my friends are afraid to visit me because of your dog, that will jump on them or bit them. It is really impact on my job and my privet life. I would greatly appreciate it if you could solve that problem, otherwise I have I to conitact the council, as the noise is affecting all the neighbour on our street, If you do not mind I would lovely invite you to my house so we can discuss this problem, over a cup coffee tomorrow at 1 pm.

Task Response

5.5
The letter partially addresses the task by complaining about the situation with the neighbour's dog, describing the problems faced, and suggesting a solution if the problems persist. However, the tone is overly friendly for a complaint letter, and the focus on personal matters like inviting the neighbour for coffee detracts from the seriousness of the issue. It would be more effective to maintain a formal tone and stick to the main points of the complaint.

Coherence & Cohesion

4
The letter is somewhat coherent as it follows a general structure of introduction, body, and conclusion. However, there are issues with cohesion and organization. The ideas are not always presented logically, and there are some repetitive sentences. Additionally, the paragraphing could be improved to enhance the overall coherence.

Lexical Resource

5
There is an attempt to use a range of vocabulary, but some words are repetitive, and there are instances of awkward phrasing. The letter lacks sophistication in language use and could benefit from more varied and precise vocabulary to convey the message effectively.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

5
There is a mix of simple and complex sentence structures used throughout the letter. While there are some grammatical errors, such as subject-verb agreement and tense consistency, the overall grammar is relatively accurate. Punctuation is generally used correctly, but there are areas that could be improved for better clarity.
