Band 6+: You recently moved into a new apartment. Over the past two weeks, there has been continuous construction noise early in the morning, which is disturbing your sleep and affecting your work. Write an email to your building manager. In your letter: Explain the problem clearly Describe how it is affecting you Request a solution or action

The letter addresses the main points of the task: it describes the noise (loud, persistent, all day), explains its impact on daily life (concentration, activities, pets), and requests action (enforce a policy to reduce noise, especially in the afternoon). However, there are some omissions and inaccuracies: the letter does not specifically mention 'quiet hours' or 'sleep' as suggested in the task, and the requested action is vague ('enforce some new policy') rather than specific (e.g., enforcing noise limits or changing working hours). The tone is appropriate, but the letter could be more precise and detailed. To improve, clearly state the exact times the noise occurs (e.g., during quiet hours or all day), explicitly mention effects on sleep and work, and propose a specific action such as 'enforce the existing noise limits' or 'restrict construction to certain hours.'

The letter is generally easy to follow, but there are some lapses in coherence and cohesion. The first paragraph lists multiple effects without clear logical progression, and the second paragraph's request is somewhat vague. To improve, organize the letter into clear paragraphs: one for the problem, one for the impact, and one for the specific action. Use cohesive devices such as 'Firstly', 'Moreover', 'In addition', and 'Therefore' to link ideas smoothly. Also, ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic.

The vocabulary is adequate but limited in range and precision. Some phrases are informal or awkward, such as 'adding fuel to the fire' and 'take measures into your hands'. To improve, use more formal and precise language, e.g., 'exacerbate the situation' instead of 'adding fuel to the fire', and 'implement measures' instead of 'take measures into your hands'. Also, vary word choice to avoid repetition (e.g., 'noise' is used repeatedly).

There are several grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect clarity. Examples include 'reoccuring' (should be 'recurring'), 'such going' (should be 'such as going'), 'additionaly' (should be 'additionally'), 'aftenoon' (should be 'afternoon'), and 'sounds really needs' (should be 'sound really needs'). Also, the sentence 'It is especially troublesome since I have to hear it all day long' could be more concise. To improve, proofread carefully and use a wider range of sentence structures, including complex sentences, to demonstrate grammatical flexibility.
