Dear Yandex Taxi.

I was waiting to the taxist for 30 minutes, i have to come to the airport on time, but i was late because of your worker. I miss my flight and because of this spend lots of my money to get new one ticket. The taxist did not apologized, and kept silent.

I was really shocked, i have never experienced anything as awfull as this situation. Because of the missed flight, i could not have apologize to my mother, and she left this world. The taxis was self-centered, and he asked for more money then i owe him, i sayed that i do not have more money, and he started shouting on me.

I wonder you will take the risks and he will be punished. You can just speak with him, to his apologises, but if he does not want to apologize, i will sue on him.

In conclusion, i really like your service, but i hope you will take action. This sitaution was really nasty, so please text me back if something will happen

Task Response

The letter attempts to address the task but includes irrelevant and inappropriate information, particularly regarding the death of the writer's mother, which detracts from the task achievement. The description of the taxi ride and the reasons for unhappiness are somewhat clear, but the suggested improvements are vague. To improve, focus on providing relevant details directly related to the taxi service and offer specific, actionable suggestions for improvement.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter's coherence is significantly impacted by grammatical errors and a lack of clear organization. The sequence of events is difficult to follow, and the connection between ideas is often unclear. Paragraphing is present but doesn't effectively separate distinct points. To improve, focus on structuring your letter with a clear introduction, body paragraphs that each address a specific point (e.g., the lateness, the driver's behavior, the consequences), and a concise conclusion. Use transitional phrases to link ideas and ensure a logical flow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and repetitive, which limits the letter's impact. There are instances of inappropriate word choice ('taxist,' 'owe him,' 'sayed'). To enhance your lexical resource, try to use a wider range of vocabulary related to complaints and customer service. For example, instead of 'the taxist,' use 'the taxi driver.' Instead of 'owe him,' use 'owed him.' Use a thesaurus to find synonyms and more precise words to express your feelings and the details of the situation. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains frequent grammatical errors, including incorrect verb tenses, subject-verb agreement issues, and improper use of articles and prepositions. These errors significantly impede understanding. For example, 'I was waiting to the taxist' should be 'I was waiting for the taxi.' 'I have to come to the airport' should be 'I had to get to the airport.' 'The taxis was self-centered' should be 'The taxi driver was self-centered.' To improve, focus on mastering basic grammar rules and sentence structures. Proofread carefully, paying attention to verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, and correct article usage. Consider using grammar-checking tools to identify and correct errors.
