Task Response

7
The letter adequately addresses the task by explaining the situation, describing the problems, and stating when the writer thinks they can start. There are a few minor grammatical errors and the tone could be slightly more professional, but overall the letter is clear and fulfills the requirements of the task. To improve, focus on refining grammar and using more formal language.

Coherence & Cohesion

4
The letter's organization is somewhat clear, but the flow of ideas could be improved. Consider using more effective transitions between sentences and paragraphs to guide the reader. For example, when transitioning from explaining your illness to suggesting a new start date, a clearer connection could be established. Also, ensure that each paragraph focuses on a single main idea to enhance clarity.

Lexical Resource

4
The vocabulary used is adequate for conveying the main points, but there's room for improvement in terms of variety and precision. Try to incorporate more specific and descriptive language to explain your situation and feelings. For instance, instead of just saying 'I am not felling well,' you could describe the symptoms or the impact of your illness in more detail. Also, be careful with word choice; 'poston' is not the correct word - 'postpone' is more appropriate. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

3
The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Pay close attention to verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, and the correct use of articles and prepositions. For example, 'i am hired as a customer service' is not grammatically correct; it should be 'I was hired as a customer service representative' or similar. Also, review the use of commas and other punctuation marks to ensure they are used correctly. Proofreading carefully before submitting your writing can help catch these errors.
