Task Response

The letter addresses the task requirements by explaining interest, describing relevant experience, and stating availability. However, it has some weaknesses: the opening is abrupt and lacks a proper salutation; there are grammatical errors (e.g., 'respecfully', 'i', 'gratefull', 'avalaible') and awkward phrasing (e.g., 'to learn books and to manage books according to their reference point'). The tone is somewhat informal and could be more polite. To improve, use a formal letter structure with a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and closing; proofread for spelling and grammar; and ensure all bullet points are fully developed. The request for an interview is implied but not explicitly stated, so make that clear.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter follows a logical structure with an opening, body, and closing, but the flow is disrupted by frequent grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. For example, the opening sentence 'Apply for the part-time job at store' is abrupt and lacks a clear subject. The use of cohesive devices is limited, and some sentences are run-ons or unclear. To improve, focus on clear paragraphing and use linking words (e.g., 'furthermore', 'in addition') to connect ideas smoothly. Ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task but lacks sophistication and variety. There are some errors in word choice and spelling (e.g., 'respecfully' instead of 'respectfully', 'gratefull' instead of 'grateful', 'avalaible' instead of 'available'). The letter uses basic phrases and repetition (e.g., 'part-time job' repeated). To improve, expand your range of vocabulary and use more precise terms. Proofread to correct spelling mistakes.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are numerous grammatical errors that affect clarity, such as incorrect verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, and punctuation. For instance, 'i have seen' should be 'I have seen', 'i am studying' should be 'I am studying', and 'i am interested for this part-time' should be 'I am interested in this part-time job'. Sentences are often fragmented or run-on. To improve, review basic grammar rules, particularly subject-verb agreement, article usage, and prepositions. Practice writing complex sentences with correct punctuation.
