Dear Sir or Madam,

The reason why I am writing this letter is to make a complaint about the disturbance of working process related to you on our street.

Actually, I have been living in this place since 20 years and I am active in community centers. Like others I was also glad when I heard about the construction on our neighborhood.

As I work from morning to evening continuously, I will be exceptionally exhausted every day. However, the noise of trucks belong to the building organized by you makes me angry and disrupts my relaxation . In the evenings, even most of the people warned the builders not to disturb them, yet it can not alter the process.

I strongly believe that if constructors use soundproof mechanisms, or do not work in the evening means they set a certain schedule, the condition may improve positively. In addition, we also can relax without any noises. I hope you will not ignore my complaint and measure this.

Yours faithfully,

Jasmina Murodullayeva

Task Response

The letter addresses the task requirements by introducing the writer, explaining the problem, and suggesting solutions. However, there are some areas for improvement. The tone is generally appropriate, but could be more formal and direct in expressing the complaint. The letter could benefit from clearer and more specific details about the disturbance and the suggested solutions. For example, instead of 'soundproof mechanisms,' you could suggest specific types of equipment or methods. Also, the impact of the noise could be described in more detail to strengthen the complaint.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter's organization is somewhat clear, but the flow of ideas could be improved. Consider using more explicit transitions between your introduction, explanation of the problem, and suggested solutions to enhance readability. For example, you could start a new paragraph when transitioning to suggesting solutions. Also, ensure that each paragraph focuses on a single main idea to improve clarity.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is generally adequate for the task, but there are opportunities to use more precise and varied language. For instance, instead of 'disturbance of working process,' you could use 'disruption caused by the construction work.' Also, consider replacing 'measure this' with a more formal closing request, such as 'take this matter into consideration.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, 'trucks belong to the building organized by you' is awkward and could be rephrased as 'trucks used for the construction organized by you'. Pay close attention to sentence structure, verb tense consistency, and correct use of articles (a, an, the). Proofreading carefully for these errors will significantly improve your writing.
