Good Day Diana,

I am thankful that you made me barrow your power tool. However, yesterday when I am fixing our sink the tool malfunctioned. I don’t have any idea up to why but the power button is not working anymore. I believe there is a problem in the power tool socket and wires.

Moreover, I deeply apologize for the inconvience I may have cause due to the reason that you may need to use the power tool anytime. With that being said, I am extending an offer to replace or had the tool replace as early as possible. Please allow me to replace it because I am responsinle for it as it malfunctioned in my care to ease my conscience.

With all my heart, I am really sorry for any inconvinience. I didn’t mean to, however I don’t feel well thinking that a tool has been destroyed. Please let me know the best thing I need to do with regards to the power tool I borrowed.

Thank you so much.

Task Response

7
The letter adequately addresses all the requirements of the task, including describing the malfunction, offering a solution, and expressing regret. The tone is appropriately apologetic. To improve, focus on using more precise language and avoiding some grammatical errors. For example, instead of 'barrow,' use 'borrow.' Also, ensure clarity by rephrasing sentences like 'had the tool replace' to 'have the tool repaired.' Overall, the letter is well-written but could benefit from minor refinements.

Coherence & Cohesion

5
The letter is generally understandable, but the organization could be improved for better flow. Consider dedicating a separate paragraph to each of the points mentioned in the task instructions: the description of the malfunction, the offer to repair or replace, and the expression of regret. Using more formal transition words and phrases would also enhance the letter's coherence.

Lexical Resource

5
The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement. Using more precise and varied language would make the letter more impactful. For example, instead of repeatedly using 'inconvenience,' explore synonyms like 'disruption' or 'trouble.' Also, consider using more specific vocabulary related to tools and malfunctions.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

5
The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Pay close attention to verb tense consistency (e.g., 'I am fixing' should be 'I was fixing'), subject-verb agreement, and correct article usage. Proofreading carefully before submitting would help catch these errors. Also, focus on constructing more complex sentences to demonstrate a wider range of grammatical structures.
