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, but overall the message is clear. To improve, focus on using more precise language and ensuring all sentences are grammatically correct.

Coherence & Cohesion

4
The letter's organization is somewhat clear, but the flow of information could be improved. Consider using more effective transitions between sentences and paragraphs to guide the reader. For example, in the second paragraph, you could add a sentence that clearly introduces the reason for your inability to start the job. 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 words to enhance the impact of your message. For instance, instead of saying 'i am not felling well,' you could use a more precise term to describe your condition. Also, avoid informal expressions like 'Well' at the beginning of a paragraph in formal letters. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

4
The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement, correct tense usage, and proper punctuation. For example, 'i am hired as a customer service' should be revised to 'I was hired as a customer service representative'. Also, ensure that you use commas correctly to separate clauses and items in a list. Proofreading carefully before submitting your letter can help catch these errors.
