Dear Sir or Madam,

Iam a First year student of medical science booked a course as my part- time module, which i need to replace due to most of my friends are not into it and find myself in trouble if there’s no group study in my study schedule , secondly theres few teachers availibility nearby my house. self studies is quite difficult for me due to unfamililarity of the course.

Furthermore, Geography subject is not really necessary to read for medical students so in my point of view this course will no longer be helpful for me in future.

I would like to ask if there is any possibility of switching the course,if so, then i will immediately act upon the policy for alternate subject selection,so that it will be less time consuming and affective in searching for a good tutor in advance.

Task Response

The letter addresses the task requirements by stating the course booked, reasons for cancellation, and a request for switching to another course. However, the reasons provided are not very strong and could be more clearly articulated. The tone is somewhat informal for a letter to a college administrator. To improve, focus on providing more compelling and professional reasons for the cancellation and course change. Also, ensure the language used is consistently formal and polite. 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 explicit transitions between your reasons for canceling and your request for a different course. Paragraphing could be used more effectively to separate distinct points.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is basic and lacks precision. Try to use more specific and varied language to express your ideas more clearly. For example, instead of 'find myself in trouble,' you could say 'anticipate challenges.' Also, avoid informal language.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement, correct tense usage, and article usage. For example, 'Iam' should be 'I am,' and 'teachers availibility' should be 'teacher availability.' Proofread carefully to catch these errors.
