Task Response

The letter addresses all three bullet points, but the development of these points is limited and the tone is inconsistent. The writer attempts to address the task, but the inclusion of irrelevant and inappropriate content - specifically accusing the friend of being irresponsible and acting as if this were a formal complaint to a manager - detracts from the task achievement. In a letter to a friend, the tone should be casual and friendly, not accusatory or formal. To improve, focus on maintaining a consistent tone appropriate for the relationship described (a friend). Avoid adding unnecessary drama or formal 'complaint' language (e.g., 'I appreciate your attention to this matter') when writing to a peer. Ensure that each bullet point is expanded upon with relevant, natural details rather than brief, disjointed sentences.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter follows the required structure by addressing the bullet points, but the flow of ideas is often interrupted by grammatical errors. The transition between topics is somewhat abrupt. To improve, use more cohesive devices (e.g., 'First of all,' 'Regarding the difficulty,' 'Anyway,') to link your sentences and paragraphs more smoothly. Ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is quite basic and there are several spelling errors (e.g., 'mannger', 'thing' instead of 'think', 'beacuse', 'difucult', 'expirence'). There are also instances of incorrect word choices, such as 'I am buy to you' or 'look a new jobs'. To improve, try to learn collocations (words that naturally go together) and practice spelling common words to ensure your meaning is clear to the reader.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are frequent grammatical errors throughout the text, particularly with verb tenses (e.g., 'I am learn cook', 'I am really interested for learn it') and sentence structure. The punctuation is also inconsistent, leading to run-on sentences. Focus on mastering basic sentence structures, subject-verb agreement, and the correct use of prepositions. Using a variety of simple and complex sentences will help, but accuracy in simple sentences must be established first.
