Hello Tim,

I’m writing to let you know that I’ve accepted a new job at a different company. From next month, I’m going to be working as a HSW at Paramed.

Basically, I’ll be working in the community as a support worker. I found this job more relevant to my study than my current job in the kitchen. I’m gonna have to use my car 40 hours a week, which is going to take a toll on it.

Apart from work, I was pumped by the jay’s game last night. Till the 7th inning I was feeling like we’re not gonna make it. However, in the bottom 7th when George hit that springer dinger, I was 100 percent sure that toronto was going to snatch the ALCS. I partied all night with my brother after that win.

Warm Regards,

Het

Task Response

The letter addresses all parts of the task, explaining the job change, describing the new job, and sharing other news. There are some minor areas for improvement. For example, elaborating slightly more on the description of the new job could enhance the response. Also, be mindful of using informal language (e.g., "gonna") in a letter to a friend, as maintaining a consistent tone is important. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally well-organized and easy to follow. The paragraphing is logical, with each paragraph addressing a specific aspect of the prompt. However, the transition between the job-related news and the personal news about the baseball game could be smoother. Consider using a transitional phrase to signal the shift in topic more clearly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and generally effective. Phrases like 'take a toll on it' and 'snatch the ALCS' are natural and add interest. However, there's room to enhance the vocabulary further by using more varied and sophisticated language. For example, instead of 'pumped by the jay's game,' you could use a more descriptive phrase to convey your excitement. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter demonstrates a good command of grammar, with only minor errors. While the grammar is mostly accurate, there are a few areas where improvements can be made. For instance, 'I'm gonna have to use my car' could be refined to 'I will need to use my car' for a more formal tone. Pay attention to verb tense consistency and sentence structure to further enhance grammatical accuracy.
