Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to request you to take actions on my previous complaint of loud noise from your restaurant.

I am Jaspreet Kaur, a resident of 67 Park Avenue. It was me who called you last Thursday to address the issue of noise from your restaurant, unfortunately it’s been a week no serious action has been taken. The loud music is played till the mid night which is affecting my personal and professional life. The constant noise is affecting my sleep schedule, every day I am getting less than 7 hours of sleep which make me tired as a result my office performance is suffering. Even on my days off I cannot spend time reading a book or newspaper, loud music makes it difficult for me to concentrate. I would suggest you to take considerable actions by reducing the volume or do not play music after 9:00 PM. I believe switching to softer music such as jazz will help a lot to reduce the disturbance.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Your’s Sincerely

Jaspreet Kaur.

Task Response

The letter effectively addresses all three task requirements: it introduces the writer, describes the problems caused by the noise, and suggests solutions. The tone is appropriate and the content is relevant. There are minor lapses, such as a slight lack of detail in the introduction (e.g., not specifying the exact nature of the complaint in the call) and the solutions could be more specific (e.g., suggesting soundproofing). However, these are minor and do not detract from the overall clarity and completeness. To improve, consider adding a brief apology for the inconvenience and a more formal closing phrase.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is logically organized with a clear introduction, problem description, and solution suggestion. However, the flow is somewhat disrupted by run-on sentences and abrupt transitions. For example, the sentence 'The loud music is played till the mid night which is affecting my personal and professional life' could be split for better clarity. Additionally, the paragraphing could be improved by separating the problem description from the solution suggestion into distinct paragraphs to enhance readability.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate for the context, with some good attempts at formal language (e.g., 'address the issue', 'considerable actions'). However, there are instances of awkward phrasing and repetition, such as 'loud music' appearing multiple times. More varied and precise vocabulary could be used, for example, 'excessive noise', 'disturbance', or 'nuisance'. Additionally, phrases like 'take actions' and 'make me tired' could be replaced with more natural collocations like 'take action' and 'leaves me feeling exhausted'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect clarity. For instance, 'it's been a week no serious action has been taken' should be 'it's been a week and no serious action has been taken'. Also, 'till the mid night' should be 'until midnight', and 'which make me tired' should be 'which makes me tired'. The letter also contains a run-on sentence: 'The constant noise is affecting my sleep schedule, every day I am getting less than 7 hours of sleep which make me tired as a result my office performance is suffering.' This should be broken into shorter sentences. Additionally, 'Your's' should be 'Yours'. Improving these aspects would significantly enhance grammatical accuracy.
