Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing this letter because I recently been on a trip with your taxi company and I am very dissatisfied with your services. Thereafter, I also wrote a letter on this issue but I have not got any response from your side.

Last week on Friday, I booked one of your taxi to go to an important business event. First of all, the driver did not reach on time and was making meaningless excuses rather than being responsible or sorry for the mistake. After that, while driving, the driver was using his phone, which is not acceptable at all. Due to his driver’s misbehaviour and reckless driving, I wrote a letter on these problems I faced, but your company did not give response to that.

So, I would like suggest to train and discipline your staff to be polite with customer and drive safe.I am expecting an apology from your side for not reaching out me back and misbehaviour of your staff.

Yours sincerely

Taran

Task Response

The letter adequately addresses the task by explaining the reason for writing, detailing the incident, and stating the desired actions. There are a few minor grammatical errors and awkward phrasings, but overall the letter is clear and understandable. To improve, focus on using more precise language and varying sentence structure.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally coherent, but the organization could be improved for better flow. Consider dedicating a separate paragraph to each main point (reason for writing, explanation of the incident, desired action). Using clearer transition words and phrases would also enhance the connection between ideas.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room to use more precise and varied language. For example, instead of 'making meaningless excuses,' you could use a more specific phrase like 'offering implausible justifications.' Expanding your range of vocabulary will make your writing more impactful.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. For instance, 'I recently been on a trip' should be 'I recently went on a trip' or 'I recently took a trip.' Pay close attention to verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, and correct article usage. Proofreading carefully before submitting your writing can help catch these errors.
