Dear Sir,

My name is Saman Choudhary, and I am enrolled in your Business studies course. I am writing to inform you about the delay of my project that I had submitted last week.

Unfortunately, I have been unable to complete my assignment on time due to some unexpected personal circumstances. During last week, a close family member was seriously ill and admit in hospital. I have to look after him, and my all time spending to manage household responsibilities. Therefore, I could not focus properly on my project. I tried to do some parts but it is still incomplete.

I am very sorry for delay. I would like to request you please give me one week more so I can complete my project and submited it.

Thank you for your understanding.

Your Faithfully,

Saman Chaudhary

Task Response

The letter adequately addresses all parts of the task, including introducing yourself, explaining the reason for the delay, and requesting an extension. The explanation is clear and relevant. To improve, consider adding more specific details to strengthen the explanation and make the request more persuasive. Also, pay attention to grammatical accuracy and word choice to enhance clarity. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally coherent, but the flow could be improved with better transitions between ideas. Consider using more varied linking words and phrases to connect your sentences and paragraphs more smoothly. For example, you could add a sentence at the end of the second paragraph to lead into your request for an extension.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement. Try to incorporate more specific and varied vocabulary related to the situation. For instance, instead of 'look after him,' you could use 'provide care for him.' Also, avoid informal language.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Pay close attention to verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, and article usage. For example, 'admit in hospital' should be 'admitted to the hospital,' and 'my all time spending' is not grammatically correct. Review basic grammar rules and proofread carefully to minimize these errors.
