Dear Alex,

Thank you for accepting to stay at my home while I will be out.

I have been thinking about where to hide my keys and decided to put them in the first bush at the entrance to the private garden. I hope nobody will steal them.

Could you please do only two things while I am away? Firtly, I am begging you to water all my plants in the private garden. And please don’t forget about feeding the dogs Mickey and Jerry.

I need you to wait only a week because I will be back on Friday, 15 June. The train arrives at 9 a.m. and then it will take me about 20 minutes to go home on foot, so you don’t have to wait for me because I can open the door my my pair of keys.

Please feel at home and don’t be shy to write me in case you need something. So, will meet you in a week.

Best wishes,

Nikita.

Task Response

The letter appropriately addresses all parts of the task, providing clear instructions about the keys, responsibilities, and return date. The tone is friendly and suitable for the context. To further enhance the response, consider adding more specific details about plant watering or dog feeding to ensure clarity and avoid any potential misunderstandings.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally well-organized and easy to follow. The purpose of the letter is clear, and the instructions are presented logically. To improve coherence, consider using more varied linking words and phrases to connect ideas within paragraphs. For example, instead of starting multiple sentences with 'I,' try rephrasing some to create a smoother flow. Additionally, ensure that each paragraph focuses on a single main idea to enhance clarity.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and generally accurate. To enhance the lexical resource, try incorporating more specific and varied vocabulary related to the tasks requested. For example, instead of 'do only two things,' you could use 'attend to a couple of important tasks.' Also, consider using synonyms to avoid repetition, such as replacing one instance of 'wait' with 'expect' or 'anticipate.' Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter demonstrates a good command of grammar with only minor errors. Pay attention to sentence structure and word choice to improve accuracy. For instance, 'my my pair of keys' should be corrected to 'my pair of keys'. Also, ensure correct subject-verb agreement and consistent tense usage throughout the letter. Proofreading carefully can help catch these small errors.
