Dear sir,

This is nadia. I an writing this letter to apply for the language course in your school. I am very interested in improving my language skills because I will be able to communicate better in my daily life and open more opportunities for my future career. I choose this school because I have heard positive reviews about your teaching methods and supportive environment.

Currently my language level is intermediate and I have previously taken an basic course in my hometown. Although it helped me to learn some basic phrases but I want to learn and be able to speak fluently.

I would also like to mention i may need some extra supper with speaking and reading practices.

Thank you in advance, and I am looking forward to your response.

Yours sincerely,

Nadia Naziri

Task Response

The letter addresses all the requirements of the task, including the reasons for learning the language and choosing the school, the current language level and previous experience, and specific needs. There are a few minor grammatical errors and awkward phrasings (e.g., "I an writing", "extra supper"), but they do not significantly impede understanding. To improve, focus on refining grammar and vocabulary for greater clarity and precision. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally coherent and logically organized, addressing the main points of the task. However, the paragraphing could be improved to enhance readability. Consider breaking up longer paragraphs into smaller, more focused ones. Transition words could also be used more effectively to link ideas between sentences and paragraphs.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement in terms of variety and sophistication. Try to incorporate more specific and descriptive words to make your writing more engaging. For example, instead of 'positive reviews,' you could say 'glowing testimonials' or 'highly recommended.' Also, avoid using overly simplistic language.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement, article usage, and sentence structure. For example, 'I an writing' should be 'I am writing,' and 'an basic course' should be 'a basic course.' Also, the sentence 'I would also like to mention i may need some extra supper with speaking and reading practices' has errors. It should be 'I would also like to mention that I may need some extra support with speaking and reading practice.'
