Dear Tom,

For the past few weeks, I have been observing that, some construction work is happening inside your home, which is resulting into loud noises and sometimes vibrations. I am not able to meet you in person to discuss the issue hence I am writing this letter.

These loud sounds are disturbing my sleep as well as effecting the studies of my child. Additionally, the vibrations from grinder are damaging the core structure of my home.

I suggest you to please review the repair and maintenance plan and reschedule the high volume activities only from 11.00 am to 1400.pm. Moreover use of grinder should also be limited.

I am hopeful that you will take the immediate action otherwise, i have to report this incident to the local authorities.

Please free to contact me if any support is required.

With regards,

Faraz

Task Response

The letter addresses all three requirements of the task: the problem is clearly explained, a specific solution is suggested, and a consequence for non-compliance is stated. The tone is appropriate for a neighborly dispute. To improve and reach a higher band, ensure more precise grammatical control (e.g., 'effecting' should be 'affecting', and 'I suggest you to please review' should be 'I suggest that you review') and refine the punctuation to ensure a smoother flow of ideas. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter follows a logical structure, addressing all three bullet points from the prompt in separate paragraphs. However, the transitions between ideas are somewhat abrupt. To improve, use more sophisticated cohesive devices and ensure that the flow between sentences feels more natural. For example, instead of just stating the problem and then the effect, you could use subordinating conjunctions to link them more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate for the task and the tone is generally correct for a neighborly but firm letter. However, there are some inaccuracies in word choice and collocation, such as 'resulting into' (should be 'resulting in') and 'effecting the studies' (should be 'affecting'). To reach a higher band, aim for more precise and varied vocabulary, such as using terms like 'disrupting' instead of 'disturbing' or 'structural integrity' instead of 'core structure'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors that impact the professional quality of the letter. These include issues with punctuation (unnecessary commas), capitalization (the lowercase 'i'), and time formatting ('1400.pm' is incorrect). There are also errors in verb patterns, such as 'I suggest you to please review' (should be 'I suggest that you review'). Focus on mastering complex sentence structures and ensuring consistent accuracy in punctuation and capitalization.
