Task Response

The letter addresses the task requirements by apologizing, explaining the circumstances, and suggesting amends. However, the language contains errors and lacks fluency, which affects clarity. To improve, focus on using more natural and accurate English, and ensure a clearer flow of information.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter's organization is somewhat unclear, and the flow of ideas could be improved. Consider using more explicit transition words and phrases to guide the reader through your explanation and suggestions. Group related ideas into paragraphs to enhance coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and sometimes inaccurate ('ask apologize,' 'your book losing'). Try to use a wider range of vocabulary to express your ideas more precisely and naturally. For example, instead of 'ask apologize,' you could say 'sincerely apologize.' Also, be careful with word choice to ensure it fits the context. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors throughout the letter, including incorrect verb tenses, subject-verb agreement issues, and awkward phrasing. Focus on using correct grammar and sentence structure to improve clarity. For example, 'I have look for' should be 'I have looked for,' and 'the last I used your book' should be 'when I last used your book.' Proofread carefully to catch and correct these errors.
