Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with my room-mate. As your know we share one room, I can not study in the room at all any more if I still stay there.

She always has friend visiting and has parties in the room. They make lots of noise and switch on the radio very loudly, for me this environment is very difficult to study and I need a quiet room. Even borrows my things without asking, it is very impolite.

I request you can give me a new room next term because I have been asked her has parties in other place many times they still have parties in the room. I really can not stay in the same room with her.

I would be grateful if you could change me a single room.

Best regard

Hira

Task Response

5.5

The letter adequately addresses the task by explaining the issues faced with the current roommate and requesting a new single room. However, it could be more detailed and provide specific examples of how the current situation is affecting the writer's ability to study. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is somewhat coherent and cohesive, but there are some issues with paragraphing and organization. It would benefit from a clearer structure with separate paragraphs for different points. Additionally, some transitions could be smoother to improve overall coherence.

Lexical Resource

There is a decent range of vocabulary used, but some words are repetitive ('room', 'parties'). Try to vary your word choice more to demonstrate a wider lexical resource. Additionally, there are some errors in word choice and phrasing that could be improved for a higher score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

While the letter demonstrates a variety of sentence structures, there are several grammatical errors present, such as subject-verb agreement ('As your know', 'I request you can give me'). Pay closer attention to grammar and sentence construction to enhance accuracy.
