Band 5+: You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. You have had a problem with your next-door neighbour. You have not been able to speak to your neighbour about this. Write a letter to this neighbour. In your letter Explain the problem Suggest a solution Say what action you will take if the situation does not improve Write at least 150 words.

The letter addresses all three prompts required by the task: it explains the reason for the noise (renovations for a grandfather), offers an apology, and describes the action/timeline (work will finish in 8 days). However, the response is somewhat underdeveloped. While the requirements are covered, the explanation of the 'action taken' is a bit thin, focusing more on the schedule of the noise rather than how you will mitigate the disturbance to the neighbor. To improve, ensure that you expand more on the 'action' part - for example, by suggesting you will instruct workers to be quieter or avoid early morning hours to respect the neighbor's sleep. Additionally, while this assessment focuses on Task Response, improving grammatical accuracy and sentence structure would help convey your points more clearly and professionally.

The letter follows the required structure by addressing all three bullet points (reason, apology, and action). However, the flow is hindered by poor sentence structure and punctuation. For example, the use of 'And' and 'So' to start sentences, and the lack of clear transitions between ideas, makes the progression feel disjointed. To improve, use more formal cohesive devices such as 'Furthermore,' 'Consequently,' or 'Regarding the noise...' to link your ideas more smoothly.

The vocabulary used is basic and contains several spelling errors (e.g., 'storge', 'cousy', 'specailly', 'witch', 'distrubut', 'everythink'). While the reader can generally understand the intent, the word choices are often imprecise (e.g., 'strong noise' instead of 'loud noise' or 'excessive noise'). Aim to use more precise collocations and ensure that spelling is accurate to avoid distracting the reader.

There are frequent grammatical errors that impact the clarity of the message. Issues include incorrect verb tenses (e.g., 'I back to my house' instead of 'I have returned'), subject-verb agreement, and improper sentence construction (e.g., 'because of my Grandfather will come'). There are also issues with capitalization and punctuation. To improve, focus on mastering basic sentence structures, particularly the use of the present perfect and past simple tenses, and ensure that every sentence has a clear subject and verb.
