Dear joy,

I hope you are doing well. I am writing to let you know that I am going move to Ahmedabad city in Manipur area for a job. Although, everything is going good here, I need your help to find an accommodation there.

As you know that finding a good house is hardest part, especially in mega city. So, I thought that i should contact you for that. In addition, I would prefer to live 30 to 35 minutes away from work, as a result I can easily commute from home to company.

Moreover, I would prefer to live in a house or private room instead of sharing room, but, I am also ready share accommodation with other one to two people, they should have their own rooms, and rent should be between $500 to $700 monthly.

Task Response

The letter adequately addresses the task by asking for help with accommodation, specifying a preferred location, and describing the type of place sought. There are some minor areas for improvement. For instance, the opening could be more engaging, and the letter could benefit from more specific details about the job or reasons for moving to strengthen the context. Also, the letter could be improved by providing more details about the type of accommodation you are looking for. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally understandable, but the organization could be improved. Consider structuring your letter with a clear introduction stating your purpose, followed by paragraphs addressing each of the points in the task (accommodation, location, type of place), and a concluding paragraph. This will enhance the flow and make it easier for the reader to follow your requests.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for conveying the message, but there's room for improvement. Try to use more specific and varied vocabulary related to accommodation and location. For example, instead of 'good house,' you could use terms like 'apartment,' 'condo,' or 'house with a garden.' Instead of 'mega city,' consider 'metropolitan area.' This will make your letter more descriptive and engaging.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains grammatical errors that affect clarity. Focus on improving sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, and the correct use of articles and prepositions. For example, 'I am going move' should be 'I am going to move' or 'I am moving.' Also, review the use of commas and conjunctions to ensure sentences flow smoothly. Proofreading carefully before submitting can help catch these errors.
