Dear Sir or Madam,

I want to complain about the printer I bought online from the company’s website. It was delivered yesterday, but it’s colour printing is not working correctly.

I bought a HP laser colour printer with an in-built scanner. I followed all of the steps mentioned in the user manual to install it. When I gave colour print, an error showed up, mentioning that the colour cartridge needed a replacement.

I bought this printer to get colour prints from it, which I can share with my clients.

But unfortunately, I am unable to get colour prints from it.

I want you to look into this problem on priority by either installing a new cartridge or replacing this printer with a new one.

I am looking forward to your prompt response.

Your faithfully,

Task Response

7.5

The letter clearly addresses the task, describing the item, the problem, and the importance of the item. However, the explanation of why the item is important could be more detailed and specific. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is well-structured and easy to follow, with each paragraph having a clear purpose. However, some sentences could be linked more explicitly to improve cohesion.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate, but there is some repetition (e.g., 'colour'). Using more precise and varied vocabulary would enhance the letter.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are some minor errors (e.g., 'I gave colour print' should be 'I gave a colour print'). Using a wider range of sentence structures would also improve the letter.
