Dear Ms Swany

I am writing this apologize letter because of my fault. I accidently damaged your vase that I borrowed for a day. I would be glad if you forgive me.

This incident happened while I was putting flowers to your vase ,my cat named jony suddenly jumped on the table and pushed it with its tail. Then it is broken.

Thus I bought a new similar to the one that is broken.I know it’s pitty but i believe that i could compensate you for the loss.

I lookfor you to forgiving me.

Your sincerly,

Asal

Task Response

The letter addresses all parts of the task and is written in an appropriate tone. The explanation of how the damage occurred is clear. To improve, ensure that the tone is consistently formal and that the vocabulary is more varied. For example, instead of repeatedly using 'forgive,' consider alternatives like 'accept my apologies' or 'grant me your understanding.' Also, proofread carefully for grammatical errors and typos. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter's organization is somewhat clear, but the flow of ideas could be improved. Consider using more cohesive devices to link sentences and paragraphs, making the letter easier to follow. For example, transitions could be smoother between the apology, explanation, and compensation suggestion. Paragraphing is basic but functional; developing more distinct paragraphs for each key point would enhance clarity.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is simple and somewhat repetitive. While the meaning is generally clear, using a wider range of vocabulary would improve the letter. For instance, instead of repeatedly using 'damaged' and 'broken,' try synonyms like 'shattered' or 'harmed.' Expanding your lexical range will make your writing more engaging and precise. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Errors include incorrect verb tenses ('I am writing this apologize letter'), incorrect word usage ('pitty' instead of 'pity'), and awkward phrasing ('I lookfor you to forgiving me'). Focus on improving sentence structure and using correct verb forms. Proofreading carefully for these types of errors will significantly enhance the accuracy of your writing.
