Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing this letter to report you that I have to resign my current part-time job because I am going to have a new life after graduating from graduate school.

I will not compete with other working students for the full-time job. For the sake of earning more experience and boardening my view, I have planned to work in the US. On top of that, I have stayed alone in Taiwan for 2 years and already have not seen my special someone for 1 year, so I decided to move to the US and will get married with him. Last but not least, it is possible for me to pursue the PHD about pharmacy, which I suppose that the US is a good choice.

I extremely delightedly work with every colleagues. When I have difficulty using the new machine, everyone will enthusiastically teach me how to do. In addition, working hours are flexible so that I make a balance well between my academics and jobs.

Because my visa will outdate in one month, I will continue to work for you just only one month. I would appreciate your understanding.

Yours faithfully,

Chen yu

Task Response

The letter addresses the three required points: explaining why you won't pursue a full-time job, expressing enjoyment of the job, and stating how much longer you will work. However, the reasons for leaving are somewhat personal and not fully explained in a professional context, and the letter lacks a clear, polite structure. To improve, organize the letter into clear paragraphs for each point, use more formal and concise language, and ensure the tone remains professional throughout. Additionally, avoid overly personal details and focus on the employer's perspective.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is logically organized into paragraphs, each addressing a different point from the task. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear connections between ideas. For example, the transition from explaining the reason for leaving to describing the enjoyment of the job could be smoother. Additionally, the final paragraph could be more clearly linked to the previous ones. To improve, use more cohesive devices (e.g., 'Furthermore', 'In addition', 'However') and ensure each paragraph has a clear central idea that is developed coherently.

Lexical Resource

The letter uses a reasonable range of vocabulary, but there are some inaccuracies and awkward choices. For instance, 'report you' should be 'inform you', 'resign my current part-time job' should be 'resign from my current part-time job', and 'boardening' should be 'broadening'. Also, 'special someone' is informal and could be replaced with 'partner' or 'fiancé'. The phrase 'I extremely delightedly work' is grammatically incorrect and should be 'I have extremely enjoyed working'. To improve, use more precise and natural vocabulary, and avoid informal or incorrect expressions.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Examples include: 'I have to resign my current part-time job' (missing 'from'), 'I have planned to work in the US' (unnecessary 'have'), 'I extremely delightedly work' (incorrect adverb/adjective use), 'every colleagues' (should be 'all my colleagues'), 'my visa will outdate' (should be 'expire'), and 'just only one month' (redundant). Additionally, there are issues with verb tense consistency and sentence structure. To improve, review basic grammar rules, especially verb tenses, prepositions, and subject-verb agreement. Practice writing more complex sentences with accurate grammar.
