Task Response

The letter addresses the task by describing the construction, explaining the problem it causes, and suggesting a course of action. However, the explanation of why the construction is a problem could be more detailed and specific. The letter also lacks some formal language expected in a letter to a council. To improve, provide more specific examples of how the noise affects your daily life and use more formal language throughout the letter. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter's organization is somewhat unclear, and the flow of ideas could be improved. Consider using more specific transition words and phrases to connect your thoughts and create a smoother reading experience. For example, you could use phrases like 'In addition to this' or 'Furthermore' to build upon your points. Also, ensure each paragraph focuses on a single main idea to enhance clarity.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and could be more varied and precise. Try to incorporate a wider range of vocabulary to express your concerns more effectively. For instance, instead of saying 'the noise usually takes place at night,' you could say 'the noise is particularly disruptive during the night.' Using synonyms and more descriptive words will enhance the impact of your letter.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Pay close attention to sentence structure, verb tense consistency, and correct article usage. For example, 'Many residents complaining' should be revised to 'Many residents are complaining.' Proofreading carefully and focusing on basic grammar rules will help improve accuracy.
