Hi Dipal,

I hope you are doing well.I am writing this to appologize about unable to meet you on December 25, 2025 acoording to our last conversation.The reason behind this inconvenience is that my refrigerator got broken last week and I tried to contact the technician and get the appoinment for fixing the refrigrator.They were not responding to my calls or emails before.Finally they replied back and told me that they are coming to fix it on the same date as we have planned to see each other.I am feeling bad for this situation and trying adjust my schedule for the first week of the month probably on January 6th, 2026.

Let me know if you have other plannings for that day so I can match up to your schedules.

Thanks for the understading and hope to see you soon.

Task Response

7
The letter appropriately addresses all parts of the task, including an apology, explanation, and alternative suggestion. The tone is suitable for a friendly letter. To improve, consider elaborating slightly more on the personal problem to add depth and sincerity to the apology. Also, proofread carefully for minor spelling errors. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

5
The letter is generally coherent, but the flow could be improved with better transitions between ideas. Consider using more varied cohesive devices to link sentences and paragraphs more smoothly. For example, you could use phrases like 'In light of this' or 'Therefore' to connect ideas more explicitly. Also, ensure that each paragraph focuses on a single main point to enhance clarity.

Lexical Resource

5
The vocabulary used is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement in terms of variety and sophistication. Try to incorporate more precise and nuanced language to express your ideas more effectively. For instance, instead of saying 'feeling bad for this situation,' you could use 'I'm deeply disappointed by this situation.' Expanding your range of vocabulary will make your writing more engaging and impactful.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

4
The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Pay close attention to verb tense consistency, subject-verb agreement, and correct use of prepositions. For example, 'appologize' should be 'apologize,' and 'acoording' should be 'according.' Reviewing basic grammar rules and proofreading carefully can help reduce these errors. Also, vary your sentence structures to demonstrate a wider range of grammatical control.
