Dear Mr. Smith,

My name is Angelina Lee. I am writing to inform you that I will not be able to start my new job next week as planned due to some problems.

Unfortunately, I broke my leg while I was running to catch my bus. I am in the hospital now. The doctor advised me to rest for a few week, so I am currently unable to work.

I sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused. I expect to recover for three weeks and will be able to start my work from that time.

I would like to thank you very much for your understanding.

Your sincerely, Angelina Lee.

Task Response

The letter appropriately addresses all requirements of the task. The situation is clearly explained, the problems are well-described, and a future start date is indicated. The tone is appropriately formal and apologetic. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is well-organized and easy to follow. The paragraphing is logical, with a clear introduction, explanation of the situation, and expected return date. To enhance coherence, consider adding a sentence or two to smoothly transition between the accident and its impact on your ability to start the job.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and conveys the message effectively. To further enhance the lexical resource, you could incorporate more varied language related to the injury and recovery process. For example, instead of 'rest for a few weeks,' you could say 'undergo a period of recuperation.' Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter demonstrates a good command of grammar with only minor errors. The sentence structures are varied and appropriate. Pay close attention to prepositions and articles for further improvement.
