Dear friend,

I am writing to you to inform you about my last decision. I decided to leave my current job and find a new one. I believe that I achieved all my goals in this company. I realized that my abilities and skills need to be improved further. This job cannot provide me enough opportunities to enhance my strengths.

As you know, I have been working in this company as an IT specialist. I was participating in a lot of projects, but now my company doesn’t have many. In addition, my work became repetitive because of using a limited range of techniques. Therefore, I am looking for a job where I can use my skills and abilities differently. Moreover, I would like to have a job where my company would allow me to choose a project. And my last, but not least, preference is the opportunity to use various types of IT techniques. My recent job required using only one method of coding.

Well, I want to ask for some advice. If you were in my place, what would you do firstly? Should I quit my job now, or is it better to wait for some time? It is a pleasure if you will find time to discuss this with me.

Yours sincerely,

Viktoria Abizbaeva

Task Response

The letter appropriately addresses all three bullet points: explaining reasons for leaving, describing the desired job, and asking for advice. The content is relevant and sufficient, with clear explanations. Minor lapses include a slightly informal tone in the closing ('Yours sincerely' is more formal for a friend) and a few grammatical inaccuracies (e.g., 'my last decision' could be 'a recent decision'). Overall, the task is well covered. To improve, ensure the tone matches the recipient (friend) and polish language for naturalness.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally well-organized and easy to follow. However, some transitions could be smoother, and the paragraphing could be more distinct. Consider using clearer topic sentences and linking words to improve flow.

Lexical Resource

Good range of vocabulary with some effective phrases (e.g., 'enhance my strengths', 'limited range of techniques'). However, there is some repetition (e.g., 'job', 'company') and a few awkward expressions (e.g., 'my last, but not least, preference'). Try to vary word choice and use more natural collocations.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

A mix of simple and complex structures, but there are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings (e.g., 'I was participating' should be 'I participated', 'It is a pleasure if you will find time' is unnatural). Punctuation is mostly correct. Focus on verb tense consistency and more natural sentence constructions.
