Dear James,

I am writing this letter to you to make an apology about an incident that has happened yesterday while you were away for a business trip in Singapore. I will explain in details in next paragraph in this letter.

Yesterday, I was washing dishes in your kitchen and then I felt very hungry so I tried to grab the juicer to make some fresh yogurt apple juice for myself, but, I accidently dropped the juice onto the floor. As a result of this, the juicer broke and it cannot be fixed after the fall. I am sorry as my hand was drenched with detergent foam when I was grabbing the juicer. I have no excuse for this and I had cleaned up the kitchen and threw the juicer.

Lastly, please let me know how much it costs and I will make a fund transfer to your bank account which I already have. Otherwise, if you wish me to purchase a new juicer for you then let me know and I will acquire one for you. I am looking forward to your response.

Your Friend,

Benny Tan

Task Response

The letter fully addresses the task, apologizing for the accident, explaining what happened, and suggesting ways to fix the damage. However, the letter could be more concise and focused, with clearer transitions between paragraphs.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is easy to follow, and the writer uses cohesive devices such as transitional phrases ('Yesterday', 'Lastly') to link ideas. However, some sentences are a bit long and convoluted, which affects the overall cohesion.

Lexical Resource

The writer uses a range of vocabulary, including some precise words like 'drenched' and 'detergent foam'. However, there are some simple word choices and phrases, and the language could be more nuanced and sophisticated.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The writer demonstrates a good range of sentence structures and uses grammar accurately, with only minor errors (e.g., 'in next paragraph in this letter'). However, there are some areas where sentence structure could be more varied and complex.
