Dear Peter,

hope you’re doing well, As we discussed the other day, i will be traveling to Canada on a holiday to have some fun.You already know how stressed i’ve been lately and i believe you know I deserve this holiday.

To prevent thieves from finding my key easily, i securely hid it beneath the broken chair in the backyard, adjacent the corridor. When searching ,make sure none of the neighbours locate the hiding spot.

In my absence, do well to keep the house tidy. Make sure the trash is emptied every evening to keep insects away and to avoid unwanted stench. You are free to use the groceries in the fridge, what are friends for ?

I don’t want you to miss me too much, i will return before you know it. Expect my return in two weeks time

I hope you enjoy your stay to the fullest, You can always let me know if you encounter any problems

Your friend,

Ama

Task Response

The letter comprehensively addresses all aspects of the task, providing clear instructions and relevant details in a friendly tone. There are no omissions or lapses. Excellent work!

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally well-organized and easy to follow. The paragraphing is logical, and the transitions between ideas are mostly smooth. However, there's room for improvement in making the connections between some sentences even clearer to enhance the overall flow. For example, in the second paragraph, consider adding a transition word or phrase to smoothly connect the hiding place of the key with the instruction to be discreet while searching for it.

Lexical Resource

The letter demonstrates a good range of vocabulary, and the word choices are generally appropriate for the context. Phrases like 'unwanted stench' and 'to the fullest' are effective. To further enhance the lexical resource, consider incorporating more varied and sophisticated vocabulary related to home care or travel arrangements. For instance, instead of 'keep the house tidy,' you could use 'maintain the house's upkeep.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter demonstrates a reasonable command of grammar, with a mix of simple and complex sentences. There are a few areas where grammatical accuracy could be improved. For example, in the second paragraph, 'When searching, make sure none of the neighbours locate the hiding spot' could be rephrased for clarity and grammatical correctness, such as 'When searching, ensure that the neighbors do not see where the key is hidden.' Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement and correct tense usage throughout the letter.
