Task Response

The letter adequately addresses the task by explaining the damage to the suitcase, describing the damage, and stating what the writer wants the airline to do. There are some minor grammatical errors and awkward phrasing, but overall the letter is clear and understandable. To improve, focus on using more precise language and ensuring correct grammar and sentence structure.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally coherent, but the organization could be improved. The second paragraph feels somewhat disjointed. Try to connect your ideas more smoothly and ensure each sentence logically follows the previous one. For example, you could link the waiting at the airport to the broken wheels more explicitly. Also, ensure that each paragraph focuses on a single main idea to improve clarity.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement. Using more precise and varied vocabulary could enhance the impact of your letter. For instance, instead of 'extremely damaged,' consider using words like 'severely damaged' or 'irreparably damaged.' Also, 'reimbursement' is slightly misused; consider 'compensation' or 'reimbursement for the suitcase's value.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors that affect the clarity of the letter. Pay close attention to verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, and article usage. For example, 'in refrence to my fligth' should be 'in reference to my flight,' and 'the situation has resulted waiting at the airport' is grammatically incorrect. Review basic grammar rules and proofread carefully to avoid these errors.
