Band 4+: Writing Task 1 You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. There have been some problems with the bus service, especially its reliability, in your area over the last two weeks. Write a letter to the manager of the bus company. In your letter • describe what the problems are • explain how these problems are affecting you • suggest what you would like the company to do You do NOT need to write any addresses. Begin your letter as follows: Dear ..........., You should write at least 150 words.

The letter addresses the task by describing the problem (bus not arriving on time), explaining its impact on the writer (being late for school), and suggesting a resolution (look into the matter). However, the response has several inaccuracies and omissions: the description of the problem is vague (only mentions buses not coming on time, not other reliability issues), the impact is limited to the writer and briefly mentions society members, and the suggestion is very general. There are also numerous spelling and grammatical errors that affect clarity. To improve, provide more specific details about the problems (e.g., buses arriving late or not at all, unpredictable schedules), explain the consequences more fully (e.g., disciplinary actions, stress), and make a concrete suggestion (e.g., revise the timetable, ensure punctuality, provide compensation). The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

The letter has a logical structure with an introduction, body, and conclusion, but the flow is disrupted by frequent grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. The ideas are presented in a somewhat disjointed manner, and the use of cohesive devices is limited. To improve, focus on creating clearer paragraphing and using linking words (e.g., 'Firstly', 'In addition', 'Therefore') to connect ideas more smoothly. Ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic.

The vocabulary used is basic and repetitive, with several spelling errors (e.g., 'regarded' instead of 'regarding', 'dout' instead of 'doubt', 'exelent' instead of 'excellent', 'disterb' instead of 'disturbed'). There is limited range of expression, and some word choices are inappropriate (e.g., 'reagen' instead of 'reason'). To improve, expand your vocabulary and use more precise and varied words. Practice spelling common words correctly and use formal language suitable for a complaint letter. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

The letter contains numerous grammatical errors, including incorrect verb tenses, subject-verb agreement issues, and punctuation problems. For example, 'I am writing this letter for regarded your city bus service' is unclear, and 'Some day's city bus could not come on time since two week's' has errors in pluralization and tense. The sentence 'My school timing was disterb for your bus' is grammatically incorrect. To improve, focus on basic sentence structure, use correct tenses, and ensure subject-verb agreement. Review punctuation rules, especially for apostrophes and commas. Practice writing simple, clear sentences before attempting more complex structures.
