Dear Maria,

Thank you for agreeing to stay in my flat while I am away. I would like you to keep order and feed my chinchilla. Even though it sleeps all day and wakes up in the evening, our pet stays up all night long.

For coming into my home I will hide thekeys under the bicycle seat. You can find this vehicle of green color in the farthest corner of the special room on the first floor. The keys will be in the small plastic box.

I am going to come back in two weeks, but my arrival may be delayed for two days. I will tell you the exact date in one week. I would like to take a taxi from the airport back home. You do not need to meet me at the airport. Even if you are absent at home, I will have spare keys.

Please enjoy your life in my flat.See you in two weeks!

All the best,Ivan.

Task Response

The letter appropriately addresses all parts of the task, providing relevant information about the holiday, key location, and responsibilities. The information is sufficient and clearly presented. To improve, consider adding more specific details about the tasks required, such as watering plants or collecting mail, to fully maximize the response.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally well-organized and the message is clear. However, some transitions could be smoother to improve the flow. For example, when transitioning from thanking Maria to explaining the pet's routine, a more explicit connection could be made. Also, consider combining some of the shorter sentences to improve the overall flow and readability.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and conveys the message effectively. To enhance the lexical resource, consider using more varied and descriptive language. For instance, instead of 'keep order,' you could use 'maintain the cleanliness' or 'ensure everything is tidy.' Also, varying the way you describe the location of the keys could add sophistication. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, and a range of structures is used. Pay attention to minor errors to further improve accuracy. For example, review the use of articles (a, an, the) and prepositions to ensure they are used correctly throughout the letter. Also, ensure subject-verb agreement is consistent.
