Dear Mr. Jonas,

Hope you are doing well. I am your new tenant, who just moved in with family at 216, Thaler Avenue. I chose your appartment because it is furnished, so that I don’t need to spend extra bucks on furniture.

Sorry to say that some of the furniture is in very bad condition. Such as cough in the living room is really hard, as well as the king sized mattress has a lot of bed bugs that caused irritation on my mother’s skin. She needed to seek medical help immediately.

I request you to either replace it or oder a new one, especially mattress as doctor advised that we have to get rid of that mattress otherwise bugs can be increased as a result, we have to throw all of our clothes.

I hope you will take the situation sireously and try to solve promptly. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Yours sincerely,

Pooja Rani

Task Response

The letter adequately addresses the task by introducing yourself, explaining the issues with the furniture, and suggesting a course of action. There are a few minor grammatical errors and awkward phrasings, but overall the letter is clear and understandable. To improve, focus on using more precise language and proofreading for grammatical accuracy.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally coherent and the message is understandable. However, the organization could be improved. Consider dedicating a separate paragraph to each main point (introduction, problems with furniture, requested action). This would enhance clarity and flow. Also, ensure smooth transitions between sentences and paragraphs to improve the overall reading experience.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement. Using more precise and varied vocabulary could enhance the impact of your message. For example, instead of 'very bad condition,' you could use 'poor condition' or 'dilapidated.' Instead of 'spend extra bucks,' consider 'incur additional expenses.' Also, 'sireously' is a misspelling of 'seriously'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains grammatical errors that affect clarity. Some examples include: 'Such as cough in the living room is really hard' should be 'The couch in the living room is very hard.' 'oder' should be 'order'. 'bugs can be increased as a result, we have to throw all of our clothes' is a run-on sentence and needs restructuring. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement, correct article usage (a/an/the), and sentence structure to improve grammatical accuracy.
