Dear Neighbours,

I am writing you this letter of explanation to give status of the parking area I shared and has recently began with problems.

To start, it has found that the area I allocated to you as benefactors penalized by the city management as to the vague measurement I presented and submitted to the office last year. So, in this issue there is rising problem of ownership of the exceed part of land whether named to me or owned by the governement.

Anent to this, I am humbly to suggest ways to help the situation. First, we need to plan for the redesigning of the parking area, exact to the calculation of the measurement I have owned to settle for the benefit of the many users. Second, it is obliged to have a parking fee and has equal priorities to those vehicles registered by the car owners.

Therefore, I propose to have an assembly meeting on Ocotber 31, 2026 at 1:00 pm, in the Barangay Gym, Madaum, Tagum City.

Thank you and more power!

Sincrely yours,

Jess Adonis

Task Response

The letter attempts to address the task but is largely unclear and contains significant inaccuracies. The problems described are vague and not directly related to typical parking issues (e.g., ownership disputes and city penalties), and the suggested solutions (redesigning, parking fees) are not clearly connected to the stated problems. The meeting proposal is present but lacks essential details such as an agenda. The language is often confusing and contains errors that obscure meaning. To improve, focus on clearly describing specific parking problems (e.g., blocked access, unauthorized use), provide practical and relevant solutions, and ensure the meeting proposal is clear and actionable.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter has a clear structure with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a closing, but the flow is often disrupted by unclear references and awkward phrasing. The purpose of the letter is not immediately clear, and the connection between the problem (ownership dispute) and the suggested solutions (redesign, parking fee) is not well explained. The paragraphing is present but could be more effectively managed to separate the problem, solutions, and meeting proposal more clearly. To improve, use clear topic sentences and ensure each paragraph has a single main idea, with smooth transitions between them.

Lexical Resource

The letter attempts to use a formal register but contains several inappropriate word choices and phrases (e.g., 'benefactors penalized', 'vague measurement', 'Anent to this', 'more power'). The vocabulary is limited and sometimes used incorrectly, which affects clarity. To improve, use more precise and natural vocabulary, such as 'I am writing to inform you about...' instead of 'I am writing you this letter of explanation to give status...'. Avoid overly complex or archaic terms and focus on clear, straightforward language.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains numerous grammatical errors, including subject-verb agreement ('the area I shared and has recently began'), incorrect verb forms ('it has found', 'I have owned'), and missing articles/prepositions. There are also punctuation issues and a misspelling ('Ocotber'). The range of grammatical structures is limited, and errors often impede understanding. To improve, review basic grammar rules, use a variety of sentence structures, and proofread carefully for errors. For example, correct the sentence to 'I am writing to inform you about a problem that has recently arisen in the parking area we share.'
