Hello my friend, while a week ago I just remembered that i borrowed your book and now when i try to giving you back i can’t find it anywhere

the last time when i finished reading the book i clearly remember that the book was on my working table untouched by no other than me myself. But at the time i want to return it to you somehow the book have vanished from my working table

I apologize for my clumsiness that makes you’re book gone missing but i will try to make amends for the missing book that i lost, if it not much i will replace the book searching through online to find the same book that i borrowed from you and bought it to replace it with the book that i lost from my mistake and unmature whim

Update me if you read my message, i will send the package to your house when they arrived

Task Response

The letter addresses all the requirements of the task, including an apology, explanation, and suggestion for amends. The language is generally clear, but there are some grammatical errors and awkward phrasing that could be improved. For example, sentence structure and word choice could be refined for better clarity and fluency. To improve, focus on using more natural and idiomatic English, and proofread carefully for grammatical errors.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter's organization is somewhat unclear, and the flow of ideas is disrupted by grammatical errors. Consider using more transitional phrases to connect your ideas and improve the overall structure of your letter. For example, use phrases like 'Furthermore,' 'In addition,' or 'Therefore' to guide the reader through your explanation and suggestions.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and sometimes inaccurate ('giving you back'). Try to use a wider range of vocabulary to express your ideas more precisely. For example, instead of 'makes you're book gone missing,' you could say 'resulted in your book going missing.' Also, avoid informal language like 'Update me' in a formal letter.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains frequent grammatical errors, including incorrect verb tenses, subject-verb agreement issues, and awkward phrasing. For example, 'when i try to giving you back' should be 'when I tried to give it back,' and 'untouched by no other than me myself' is redundant and grammatically incorrect. Focus on using correct grammar and sentence structure to improve clarity.
