Task Response

The letter adequately addresses the task by explaining what happened, describing the bag and its contents, and stating what the writer would like the airline to do. However, there are some minor deviations from the task requirements, such as not providing the ticket number and not explicitly requesting the airline to inform about the bag's status.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is mostly coherent and cohesive, with ideas logically presented. Paragraphing is appropriately done. However, there are some issues with sentence structure and transitions that slightly affect the overall flow.

Lexical Resource

There is a good range of vocabulary used, but some inaccuracies and repetitions are present. More varied and precise vocabulary could enhance the quality of the letter. Additionally, some phrases could be more formal and polished.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures. While most of the grammar is accurate, there are errors in verb tenses, prepositions, and article usage. Proofreading for these issues would be beneficial.
