Task Response

The letter addresses all three required points: explaining the parking problems, suggesting solutions, and proposing a meeting. However, the response is somewhat limited in development and clarity. The explanation of the problem is understandable but lacks specific details (e.g., how often, what exactly happens). The suggestions are vague and not entirely practical (e.g., buying a lot may be unrealistic). The meeting proposal is present but lacks a specific date or venue. The tone is generally appropriate for neighbours, though the all-caps format is informal and may be seen as shouting. To improve, provide more concrete details, ensure suggestions are feasible, and specify meeting arrangements. Also, use standard letter formatting (not all caps) and proofread for grammatical errors.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is organized into paragraphs, but the use of all capital letters and lack of punctuation make it difficult to follow. The flow of ideas is somewhat disrupted by grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. To improve, use standard sentence case, proper punctuation, and clearer transitions between ideas. Ensure each paragraph focuses on a single main point: problems, suggestions, and meeting proposal.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is basic and repetitive, with some inappropriate word choices (e.g., 'incedent' instead of 'incident', 'accommodate any suggestion' instead of 'consider any suggestions'). There is an attempt to use a range of words, but accuracy and appropriateness are limited. Expand your vocabulary with more precise terms related to parking and community issues, and use them correctly.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are frequent grammatical errors, including incorrect verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, and sentence structure. Punctuation is largely absent, and the overuse of capital letters is inappropriate. These errors significantly affect clarity. Focus on basic grammar rules, such as using correct verb forms, adding punctuation, and writing in complete sentences. Proofread your work to catch these mistakes.
