Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to you to express how my experience riding in one of your taxi routing Makati to Tagaytay. I always book a taxi when I am going out because i can relax during the whole trip and it is more convenient than commuting.

However, my last experience with your vehicle with plate number PM14567 is not as good as it is, the moment I hopped in the smell of cigarettes arose and I clearly see the cigarettes ash and butts scattered on the car seat and floor. During our way to Tagaytay I tried to open the window to let the fresh air inside because I cannot bear the smell inside but the driver was angerly told me to rolled it up. I was with my kid that time and the smell of cigarettes is not good for them, I politely ask the driver to drop us and we will just take other taxi but he refused and said that I am being dramatic over simple thing.

I am requesting you to take an action regarding this matter and to the driver of the taxi who does not care about the safety of his passengers.

Yours respecfully,

Lyn

Task Response

The letter addresses the task by outlining the problems encountered during the taxi journey, including the vehicle's condition and the driver's behavior. It also mentions the desired action from the company. However, the letter includes some irrelevant information (" I always book a taxi when I am going out because i can relax during the whole trip and it is more convenient than commuting."). To improve, focus on providing more specific details about the impact of the experience and clearly state the desired compensation or action.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter presents a clear complaint but could benefit from improved organization and flow. Consider using more cohesive devices to link ideas within and between paragraphs. For example, you could add transition words or phrases to guide the reader through your experience more smoothly. Additionally, ensure each paragraph focuses on a single aspect of your complaint to enhance clarity.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate for conveying the message, but there's room for improvement by incorporating more precise and varied language. For instance, instead of repeatedly using 'good' or 'bad,' try to use more descriptive adjectives and adverbs to illustrate the severity of the issues you encountered. Expanding your lexical range will make your complaint more impactful.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Focus on improving sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, and correct use of articles and prepositions. Reviewing basic grammar rules and proofreading carefully before submission can help minimize these errors. For example, pay attention to verb tenses and ensure they are consistent throughout the letter.
