Task Response

The letter addresses the main points of the task: it describes the noise problem (upstairs neighbour playing music at night), explains the impact (sleep disturbance and daily life), and requests action from the landlord. However, there are notable omissions and inaccuracies: the letter does not clearly specify the desired action (e.g., asking the landlord to speak to the neighbour), and some details are vague or repetitive. The tone is polite but the message could be more concise and direct. To improve, ensure each bullet point is fully developed, use clearer language, and avoid repetition. Also, proofread for grammatical errors and awkward phrasing to enhance clarity.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter has a clear overall purpose, but the flow of ideas is disrupted by frequent grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. The message can be followed with effort, but the lack of clear paragraphing and the run-on sentences make it less cohesive. To improve, organize the letter into clear paragraphs: one for describing the problem, one for explaining the impact, and one for stating your request. Use linking words (e.g., 'Firstly', 'In addition', 'Therefore') to connect ideas more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and repetitive, with some inappropriate word choices (e.g., 'renter' instead of 'tenant', 'loud of sound' instead of 'loud sound'). There is limited range and flexibility. To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary, such as 'disturbing noise', 'disrupting my sleep', 'address the issue', and 'take action'. Avoid repetition and aim for more natural collocations. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains numerous grammatical errors, including incorrect verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, and sentence structure issues. Punctuation is often missing or misused, and there are several run-on sentences. To improve, focus on writing clear, simple sentences and ensure subject-verb agreement. Review basic grammar rules, such as using the correct past tense and articles. Practice writing with correct punctuation and sentence boundaries.
