Band 5+: You recently received a message from your school librarian. The librarian asked students to share their opinions about what improvements should be made in the library to make it more useful for students. 💫 Task 1.2 💫 Write a letter to your school librarian. Explain your feelings about the current library conditions, describe what improvements you think should be made (for example: adding study areas, updating computers, buying more textbooks, improving Wi-Fi), and mention how these changes would help students.

The response addresses all parts of the task, but the development of the ideas is somewhat thin. While you mentioned specific improvements (foreign scientific books and seating capacity) and suggested a contest, the explanation of *how* these changes would help students is quite brief and lacks depth. To improve, try to expand on each point. For example, instead of just saying a contest 'encourages them to study more,' you could explain how it would foster a better reading culture or increase library engagement. Additionally, ensure your tone remains consistent; the suggestion of 'contests' feels slightly disconnected from the practical improvements requested in the prompt. Aim for more detailed descriptions to fully satisfy the requirements of the task. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

The letter follows a logical structure, addressing the different parts of the prompt in separate paragraphs. However, the transitions between ideas are somewhat abrupt. To improve, use more sophisticated cohesive devices to link your observations with your suggestions. For example, instead of just stating a problem and then a new point, you could use phrases like 'To address this issue...' or 'In addition to the physical space constraints...' to create a smoother flow.

The vocabulary used is appropriate and clear, but it is somewhat basic. To reach a higher band, try to incorporate more academic or precise vocabulary related to the context. Instead of 'some foreign writers' scientific books,' you might use 'specialized scientific literature from international authors.' Instead of 'drawbacks,' you could use 'limitations' or 'deficiencies.' Aim for more variety in your word choices to demonstrate a wider lexical range.

The grammar is generally functional and the meaning is clear, but there are several punctuation errors (such as spaces before commas and periods) and some awkward phrasing. For instance, 'suggesting my opinions' is not the correct way to express 'providing my opinions.' Additionally, try to use a wider variety of complex sentence structures. Most of your sentences follow a simple subject-verb-object pattern; incorporating subordinate clauses would demonstrate better grammatical control.
