Task Response

The letter addresses all the requirements of the task, clearly stating the writer's interest in volunteering, relevant skills and experience, and availability. There are some minor grammatical errors and awkward phrasing that could be improved. For example, 'strucgleing with foods' should be 'struggling with food shortages'. Also, the letter could benefit from a slightly more formal tone and improved organization of ideas within paragraphs.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally understandable, but the organization could be improved. Consider structuring your letter with a clear introduction, body paragraphs addressing each bullet point from the task, and a concise conclusion. Using more formal language and transitional phrases would also enhance the flow and clarity of your writing.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for conveying the main points, but there's room for improvement. Try to use more precise and varied vocabulary related to charity work and your skills. For example, instead of 'doing variety volunteer works,' you could say 'I have experience in various volunteer roles.' Also, be mindful of spelling errors.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement, correct tense usage, and article usage ('a,' 'an,' 'the'). For example, 'My name is Steven who living' should be 'My name is Steven, and I live.' Proofread carefully to catch these errors and consider using a grammar checker to help identify areas for improvement.
