Dear Robert,

Hope you are doing well.

I want to tell you that I feel upset about the incident that happened yesterday evening when I wasn’t at home. After I came home, I noticed that my car had been hit by someone, and I had to check my cameras to find out who had done that. I know it was an unintentional accident. However, I believe you should pay me back the cost of the repair.

This morning, I went to one of the repair shops in Marpole, and according to their estimation, it will cost around $400 to be repaired and requires 3 days for the repair.

I would suggest you transfer $400 plus my travel costs for 3 days, because I may have to get an Uber during the repair. I hope you can understand my situation, and if you have any other good options, let me know.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Best wishes,

Chethana

Task Response

8
The letter appropriately addresses all requirements of the task. The explanation of the incident, description of the damage and associated feelings, and recommendations for resolution are all clearly presented. There might be a slight lapse in fully elaborating on the feelings beyond stating 'upset,' but overall, the response is relevant and sufficient. To improve, consider adding more detail to the emotional impact of the damage.

Coherence & Cohesion

7
The letter is generally well-organized and easy to follow. The purpose of the letter is clear from the beginning, and the progression of ideas is logical. To enhance coherence, consider adding a sentence or two to smoothly transition between the description of the damage and the suggested resolution. For example, you could add a sentence like, 'Given the extent of the damage, I believe the following steps would be appropriate.'

Lexical Resource

7
The vocabulary used is appropriate and conveys the message effectively. While the language is functional, there's room to incorporate more varied and sophisticated vocabulary to elevate the letter. For instance, instead of 'pay me back the cost of the repair,' you could use 'reimburse me for the repair expenses.' Similarly, consider replacing 'travel costs' with 'alternative transportation expenses.' Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

8
The letter demonstrates a good command of grammar with only minor errors. The sentence structures are varied and generally accurate. To further refine the grammar, pay attention to articles and prepositions. For example, consider rephrasing 'it will cost around $400 to be repaired' to 'the repair will cost approximately $400.'
