Hey Tom

How life is going? What’s news?

I am okay, but I have a problem. And I need your help.You know that my sister lives in Astana. So she asked me to look after her children. I will be away to days later. And I have a cat, but I can’t find someone who will look after him. If it is not difficult can you look after my pet for a week.He is name is Nori. By the way you should feed him for four times a day. In the morning about half past ten he usually eats boiled chicken’s meat. I cut and put in the freezer medium pieces of the chicken. After 3 hours give him 0,3 m of milk.And he doesn’t like fish and feed for cats.In the afternoon give him milk with boiled beef and before you went to sleep please pour milk. And that’s all.By the way he doesn’t have any problems with health, so you shouldn’t give him pills or something like this.I will be very thankful If you will agree to look after him.

Bye bye, see you soon

Task Response

6
The letter addresses the task requirements by mentioning the pet's feeding schedule, dietary needs, and health. However, the dates of the vacation are missing. The tone is overly informal for a letter requesting a favor. The organization could be improved by clearly separating the different points. To improve, include all the required information, use a more formal tone, and organize the letter into clear paragraphs.

Coherence & Cohesion

5
The letter's organization could be improved for clarity. Consider a more structured approach with a clear introduction stating the purpose, followed by paragraphs dedicated to specific details like dates, feeding schedule, and health instructions. Using transitional phrases would also help to connect ideas more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

5
The vocabulary used is quite basic. Try to incorporate a wider range of words and phrases to express your ideas more precisely. For example, instead of 'look after,' you could use 'care for' or 'attend to.' Also, be mindful of using the correct prepositions and articles. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

3
There are several grammatical errors throughout the letter that affect clarity. Focus on improving your sentence structure, verb tense consistency, and correct use of articles and prepositions. Review basic grammar rules and practice constructing more complex sentences accurately.
