Task Response

The letter covers all three required points: the moving date and amount of stuff, specific tasks (packing fragile items, cleaning), and a thank you. However, there are some lapses: the date is in the future (2026) which may be a typo, and the thank you is brief and not specific. To improve, ensure the date is correct, provide more detail on how you'll thank your friend (e.g., dinner, gift), and consider a more formal closing. Overall, the task is adequately addressed.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter has a clear structure with an introduction, body, and closing, but the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and missing transitions. The purpose is clear, but the sequence of ideas could be smoother. Consider using linking words and clearer paragraphing to improve readability.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there are some inaccuracies and repetitions (e.g., 'stuffs' instead of 'belongings', 'require' instead of 'requires'). The range of vocabulary is limited, and some expressions are informal or incorrect. Try to use more precise and varied vocabulary, and ensure correct word forms.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are numerous grammatical errors, including subject-verb agreement ('i have' should be 'I have'), incorrect plural forms ('stuffs' should be 'stuff'), and punctuation issues (missing commas, capitalization). The sentence structures are mostly simple, and there are run-on sentences. To improve, focus on basic grammar rules, use a mix of simple and complex sentences, and proofread for errors.
