Dear friend,

I hope this email finds you well.

I received an opportunity to change my role at the company, consequently next moth I will move to your city to carry on my work. I am already packing my stuffs and I also started to look for apartments. Besides, I am planning to move in the end of this month, just one week before at the begnning of the next one.

Regarding accommodations, I am looking for a place located in a good neighboorhood. I hope it is located near a bus stop (or train station), supermarket, and a gym (or a park that a could exercise).

Last but not least, I would like you could help me to find a nice place. I have some adresses saved and I would like to ask you going to these places to take some photos and videos to send me. In this way I will be able to choose the best option.

I look forward to your response.

Yours sincerely,

Daniel Moreira.

Task Response

The letter covers all three required points: reason for moving and timeline, type of accommodation, and how the friend can help. The purpose is clear and the tone is appropriate. However, there are some minor lapses in clarity and detail. For example, the timeline could be more specific, and the description of the accommodation could be more detailed. Additionally, there are a few spelling and grammatical errors (e.g., 'moth' instead of 'month', 'begnning' instead of 'beginning', 'neighboorhood' instead of 'neighborhood', 'adresses' instead of 'addresses', and 'a could' instead of 'I could'). To improve, ensure the letter is error-free and consider adding more specific details about the type of accommodation (e.g., size, budget, furnished/unfurnished) and how the friend can assist (e.g., arranging viewings, providing local advice).

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is logically organized with clear paragraphs for each bullet point. However, some sentences are long and slightly awkward, which can momentarily distract the reader. For example, 'I am planning to move in the end of this month, just one week before at the begnning of the next one' is confusing. Simplify and clarify such expressions to improve flow. Also, ensure each paragraph has a clear central idea and use cohesive devices more naturally.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not always precise or natural. There are spelling errors ('moth', 'begnning', 'neighboorhood', 'adresses') and some awkward phrasing ('carry on my work', 'a could exercise'). Use more varied and accurate vocabulary, such as 'relocate', 'commence', 'residential area', 'conveniently located', and 'assist me in visiting'. Avoid repetition and choose words that sound more natural in context. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors and punctuation issues. For example, 'consequently next moth I will move' should be 'consequently, next month I will move'. Also, 'I would like you could help me' should be 'I would like you to help me'. The sentence 'I have some adresses saved and I would like to ask you going to these places' is incorrect; it should be 'I have some addresses saved and I would like to ask you to go to these places'. Work on using a wider range of sentence structures and ensure subject-verb agreement and correct use of prepositions.
