Dear James

I am writing to apologize. The valuable vas of yours was broken because of me. I am very sorry about that.

I have no intension to break your vas. When I went to your house yesterday I walked to the guestroom, I bumped the vas, and suddenly the vas fell. I was panicked, so I decided to run, and went back to my home without telling to everyone because there was no one, and you still in your room.

Honestly, I felt guilty and I wanted to offer my compensate because it is my responsibility, and that was my fault I do not telling to everyone. And I want to say sorry to your family especially to your mother and your father, I hope you forgive me, and I hope you consider my offer to compensate.

Thank you for your attention. I will be happy if you received my offer.

Your friend

Jay

Task Response

7
The letter addresses all parts of the task, including an apology, explanation, and offer of compensation. However, the language used is somewhat repetitive and could be more sophisticated. To improve, focus on varying your vocabulary and sentence structure to create a more natural and fluent tone. Also, ensure that the explanation of the accident is clear and concise, avoiding unnecessary details or repetition.

Coherence & Cohesion

5
The letter's organization is somewhat clear, but the flow of ideas could be improved. The narrative of the accident and the offer of compensation are present, but the transitions between these points are abrupt. Consider using more cohesive devices to link your ideas and create a smoother reading experience. For example, use transition words like 'However,' 'Therefore,' or 'In addition' to connect sentences and paragraphs logically.

Lexical Resource

5
The vocabulary used is basic and repetitive. While the meaning is generally clear, the letter would benefit from a wider range of vocabulary to express your thoughts more precisely and engagingly. For instance, instead of repeatedly using 'sorry' and 'vas,' try synonyms like 'apologies,' 'regret,' and 'antique vase' to add depth and variety to your writing.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

4
The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. There are issues with sentence structure, verb tense consistency, and word choice. For example, the sentence 'I have no intension to break your vas' should be 'I had no intention of breaking your vase.' To improve, focus on using correct verb tenses, ensuring subject-verb agreement, and proofreading carefully for errors in grammar and punctuation.
