Task Response

The letter effectively addresses all three bullet points: it introduces yourself, explains the desired job type (full-time in IT), and details relevant experience and skills. The tone is appropriate and the letter is well-structured. Minor lapses include a few grammatical errors (e.g., 'a experience', 'i did my placement') and slight informality ('To be honest'), but these do not detract from overall clarity. To improve, ensure consistent capitalization and proofread for minor errors.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is logically organized with a clear introduction, body, and closing. However, the flow is somewhat disrupted by abrupt transitions and a lack of cohesive devices. For example, the shift from introducing yourself to describing your education and experience could be smoother. Use linking words and phrases (e.g., 'Furthermore', 'In addition', 'Moreover') to connect ideas more naturally. Also, ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic and that the overall message is easy to follow without rereading.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, with some good use of job-related terms (e.g., 'Tech Analyst', 'junior software developer', 'proficient'). However, there are instances of informal or imprecise language (e.g., 'To be honest', 'I know all the basic and advanced computer skills') that could be replaced with more formal and specific expressions. Expand your range by using synonyms and more sophisticated vocabulary (e.g., 'possess', 'expertise', 'competencies'). Also, avoid repetition and ensure that word choices are precise and appropriate for a formal letter.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. For example, 'I am seeking for' should be 'I am seeking', 'I have a experience' should be 'I have experience', and 'i did my placement' should be 'I completed my placement'. Additionally, there are punctuation issues (e.g., missing commas, capitalization errors) and some sentences are too long or run-on. To improve, review basic grammar rules, use a variety of sentence structures (simple, compound, complex), and proofread your work to correct errors. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement, articles, and prepositions.
