Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing this letter to inform you that I left my item in your hotel during our stay last week. I stayed at room number 1101 near the lobby.

The lost item is a wallet with brown color and it has a labubu keychain in front of it. it include my ID Card such as passport, SIM, KTP, with money IDR 250,000. I need this because next week I would like to fly back to Indonesia.

I remembered that I put the bag on the sofa in my room. I forgot to took it since the next travel agent arrived at lobby. As a result, I did not have time to double check all of my belongings.

If you don’t mind, I need help to recheck or asking your staff that cleaned my bed on the day. If you find it, please send it to Shanghai resort under name Rahul

I am looking forward to your reply

Kind regards,

Yogi

Task Response

The letter adequately addresses the task by describing the lost item, explaining where it was likely left, and requesting action from the hotel manager. There are some minor grammatical errors and phrasing issues, but overall the letter is clear and understandable. To improve, focus on using more precise language and ensuring correct grammar throughout the letter.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally easy to follow, but the organization could be improved. Consider dedicating a separate paragraph to each of the task's requirements (describing the item, explaining where you left it, and stating what you want the manager to do). This would enhance the letter's clarity and coherence. Also, ensure smooth transitions between sentences and paragraphs to improve the flow of information.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement in terms of variety and precision. For instance, instead of saying 'it include my ID Card such as passport, SIM, KTP,' you could use a more sophisticated phrase like 'it contained various forms of identification, including my passport, SIM card, and KTP.' Try to incorporate a wider range of vocabulary to express your ideas more effectively. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, 'it include my ID Card' should be 'it includes my ID card' or 'it included my ID card'. Also, 'I forgot to took it' should be 'I forgot to take it'. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, and correct use of prepositions. Proofreading carefully before submitting your writing can help you identify and correct these errors.
