Dear Joe,

I am still thankful about you hosting us at your house, but unfortunately I have to tell you bad news. Last night we were playing with your dog and while he was running and jumping back and forth, it hit the old vase in the living room.

I tried to fix it with some tape and glue but it didn’t work as I thought. Altought my idea wasn’t working I already called the guy who sells them and I ordered a new one.

I’m extremely sorry for what happened, I hope you appreciate my effort to put everthing back and getting the new vase.

Sincerely, Franco

Task Response

5
The letter adequately addresses the task by apologizing for the broken vase, explaining how it happened, and offering compensation. The details are generally clear, and the tone is appropriate. To improve, consider elaborating slightly more on your regret and perhaps offering an alternative solution for compensation in case the replacement vase isn't suitable. Also, proofread for minor grammatical errors. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

5
The letter is generally coherent, but the flow could be improved with better transitions between ideas. Consider using more varied cohesive devices to link sentences and paragraphs more smoothly. For example, you could use phrases like 'In addition to this' or 'Furthermore' to connect related ideas. Also, ensure that each paragraph focuses on a single main point to enhance clarity.

Lexical Resource

5
The vocabulary used is adequate for the task, but it could be enhanced with more precise and varied word choices. For instance, instead of saying 'playing with your dog,' you could use 'engaging in a playful activity with your dog.' Similarly, replace 'put everything back' with a more descriptive phrase like 'restore everything to its original condition.' Expanding your range of vocabulary will make your writing more engaging and effective. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

5
The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, 'I am still thankful about you hosting us' should be 'I am still thankful for you hosting us.' Also, 'Altought my idea wasn't working I already called the guy' should be 'Although my idea wasn't working, I already called the guy.' Pay close attention to prepositions, conjunctions, and sentence structure to improve grammatical accuracy. Reviewing basic grammar rules and proofreading carefully can help minimize these errors.
