Dear Sir,

I am writing to complain about the disturbance caused because of the on going work in my area on moving the current cabel system underground.

I live in Divy Society, where the work is being done to break the concret road in order to move electric wires which are currently above the road; it is a good initiative. I am working from home during the week days, and because of the work started today in my neighbourhood, I got distracted whole day during my office hours.

Upon talking to a working professional on ground, I came to know it will take about a week to finish the job, which is concerning as I would not be able to focus in my work. Therefore, I would like to request you to do the work after 5 PM, or during weekend. If that is something possible, it would be appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Ruchit Patel

Task Response

The letter adequately addresses the task by introducing the writer, explaining the problem, and suggesting solutions. However, the explanation of the problem could be more detailed, and the suggested solutions could be more specific. For example, you could mention the specific type of noise and its impact, and suggest a specific timeframe for the work to be done during weekends.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally coherent and addresses all points in the task. However, the organization could be improved for better flow. Consider grouping related ideas together more explicitly. For example, you could dedicate a paragraph solely to explaining the problem and another to suggesting solutions. Transition words could also be used more effectively to link ideas within paragraphs.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement in terms of variety and precision. Try to use more specific and descriptive words to enhance the impact of your letter. For instance, instead of 'disturbance,' you could use 'disruption' or 'nuisance.' Also, consider using synonyms to avoid repetition of words like 'work.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains grammatical errors and phrasing issues that affect clarity. While the overall meaning is understandable, correcting these errors would significantly improve the letter's quality. Focus on sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, and correct use of articles and prepositions. For example, 'on going work' should be 'ongoing work,' and 'cabel system' should be 'cable system.'
