Task Response

The letter addresses the task requirements by stating the hobby, reasons for interest, and a general request for advice. However, it lacks specific questions for the expert. To improve, include concrete questions about rooftop gardening, such as plant selection, soil requirements, or pest control. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter's organization is somewhat unclear, and the flow of ideas could be improved. Consider using more explicit transitions between your points to guide the reader. For example, when moving from your general interest in gardening to specific questions, a transitional phrase would help. Also, ensure each paragraph focuses on a single main idea to enhance clarity.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and could be more varied to express your ideas more precisely. For instance, instead of saying 'trees are more crucial,' you could use phrases like 'trees are essential' or 'trees play a vital role.' Expanding your vocabulary will help you convey your enthusiasm and the specifics of your gardening interests more effectively.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors that affect the clarity of your letter. Pay close attention to sentence structure, verb tense consistency, and correct article usage (a/an/the). For example, 'I hope that you find this litter in good health and spirit' should be 'I hope this letter finds you in good health and spirits.' Reviewing basic grammar rules and proofreading carefully will help improve accuracy.
