Dear Mr. smith

I am Andrea Pinco, a second-year student of your course of “business management”. Last month I took part at the Group B in the class. The project that was assigned to us was named “the effect of green ecomony on the environment” and I had to develop a complex analysis on the local companies. The deadline was fixed on July 31st, so we had only one month to prepare the presentation.

Working as driver, to afford the fee of the course, I have to stop my studies every day from 8 o’clock PM until 22 o’clock PM. The time that I could spend on this project was not enough to finish it before the deadline, so today I am still working on it and I calculate that other three days are needed to conclude the project.

Saying that, I am writing to apologize to you for being late, and to ask you the three days I mentioned above.

Your understanding and your help would be greatly appreciated.

I look forward to presenting to the entire class my project.

Yours sincerely,

Andrea

Task Response

The letter appropriately introduces the student, explains the reason for not meeting the deadline, and requests more time. However, the explanation for the delay could be more focused and specific. It would be beneficial to clearly state the request for an extension and provide a specific date for the new deadline.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally coherent and cohesive, with ideas presented in a logical order. However, there are some minor lapses in coherence, such as the abrupt transition between the explanation of the project and the student's work schedule. Additionally, the paragraphing could be improved for better organization and clarity.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is generally appropriate, but there is room for improvement in terms of variety and sophistication. Consider using a wider range of vocabulary and more precise language to enhance the overall lexical resource. Additionally, the use of formal language and academic terms could be strengthened.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures with generally accurate use of punctuation and grammar. However, there are some minor errors in sentence structure and tense consistency that could be addressed for improved accuracy.
