Dear Sir,

I am writing to formally get information about electronic devices and its price rate because I want to buy one iteam which is microwave.

Firstly, as your shop is near to my house, and I have heard a lot about your sevices and

quality of goods, I want to purchase microwave which could you tell me available ar not? If it is not present right now, could you order it for me?

Moreover, there is further detail I want to obtain, including prices and discounts, on this product which you could share with me via mabile phone, and the number for contacting is 0021234233.

At last, the most important thing is that could you hold the poroduct for sometime as I get late for one or two days and even more. Kindly ensure these details through a phone call with me.

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Kamalpreet Kaur

Task Response

The letter adequately addresses the task by inquiring about the availability and price of a microwave, as well as asking about holding the item. There are some minor grammatical errors and awkward phrasing that could be improved. For example, 'one iteam which is microwave' could be rephrased for clarity. Also, ensure consistent spelling ('iteam' should be 'item'). To improve, focus on using more precise language and proofreading for grammatical accuracy.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally understandable, but the organization could be improved. Consider grouping your requests more logically, such as dedicating a paragraph to availability, another to pricing and discounts, and a final one to holding the goods. Using more explicit signposting language can also enhance clarity.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement. Try to use more specific and varied vocabulary related to electrical goods and purchasing. For example, instead of 'electronic devices,' you could mention specific types of microwaves (e.g., convection microwave, grill microwave). Also, replace 'iteam' with 'item'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Focus on improving sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, and correct use of articles and prepositions. For example, 'I want to buy one iteam which is microwave' should be revised to 'I want to buy a microwave'. Also, 'could you tell me available ar not?' should be 'could you tell me if it is available or not?'.
