Task Response

The letter addresses the main points of the task, requesting time off, explaining the reason for leaving early, and attempting to reassure the supervisor about not falling behind. However, the content includes some irrelevant details and inaccuracies, and the language contains errors that affect clarity. To improve, focus on providing concise and relevant information directly related to the task requirements. Proofread carefully to correct grammatical errors and improve sentence structure.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter's organization is somewhat unclear, and the flow of ideas could be improved. Consider using more explicit transitions between your reasons for needing leave, the reassurance that your studies won't suffer, and your request. Paragraphing could be used more effectively to separate these distinct points. For example, dedicate a paragraph to explaining the family event, another to reassuring your supervisor about your studies, and a final one to the specific request and closing.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and sometimes inaccurate ('rosy group,' 'get redy'). Try to use more precise and varied vocabulary to express your ideas clearly. For example, instead of 'event,' you could use 'family celebration' or 'important occasion.' Instead of 'get redy,' consider 'prepare for the occasion.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains frequent grammatical errors that impede understanding. There are issues with verb tense ('I want to go my home'), sentence structure, and article usage. Focus on constructing grammatically correct sentences and proofreading carefully. For example, 'I want to go to my home in India' is more accurate. Also, pay attention to punctuation, which is missing in several places.
