Hello Make,

I hope you’re doing well. I’m looking forward to tell you about an amazing news.

I guess you remember that I’ve constantly complained about being a freelancer since I don’t have a strict schedule. This disadvantage influenced my productivity because I felt like I dedicated all my time to work. So I’ve realized that I want to try offline format and found a new job in an office.

I’ll work as an English teacher for adults in a very famous language school. It’s located in the city centre, so it’ll be easy to get around. This company isn’t big, but it’s up-and-coming. It will be really cool to interact with other instructors because the staff is multination. I’m really excited to talk to guys from the Philippines or Libanon.

Apart of them, I finally have my flat renovated. So I want to invite you for a party on Saturday evening. Let me know what you think of this idea.

Best regards,

Yah

Task Response

The letter appropriately addresses all parts of the task, explaining the job change, describing the new job, and sharing other news. The content is relevant and sufficiently detailed. To improve, ensure that the tone is consistently natural and friendly throughout the letter. Also, pay attention to minor grammatical errors to enhance clarity.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally well-organized and easy to follow. The paragraphing is logical, and the transitions between topics are smooth. However, there are a few areas where coherence could be improved. For example, in the second paragraph, elaborating slightly more on why interacting with a multinational staff is 'cool' would enhance the connection for the reader. Also, the transition to the final paragraph about the flat renovation could be smoother; perhaps adding a sentence that links the new job and stable income to the ability to renovate the flat.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and generally accurate. Phrases like 'strict schedule,' 'offline format,' and 'up-and-coming' are well-chosen. To further enhance the lexical resource, consider incorporating more varied and sophisticated vocabulary related to teaching or personal excitement. For instance, instead of 'really cool,' you could use 'incredibly enriching' or 'exceptionally stimulating.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter demonstrates a good command of grammar with a variety of sentence structures. Minor errors are present but do not significantly impede understanding. For example, 'Apart of them' should be 'Apart from that'. Reviewing and correcting these minor errors would improve the overall grammatical accuracy.
