Task Response

5
The letter addresses all the requirements of the task, providing an explanation for the cancellation, expressing regret, and suggesting an alternative arrangement. There are a few minor grammatical errors and awkward phrasings, but overall the letter is clear and conveys the intended message effectively. To improve, focus on refining sentence structure and using more natural-sounding language. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

5
The letter is generally understandable, but the flow could be improved with better paragraphing and transitions. Consider grouping related ideas together and using transition words to connect sentences and paragraphs more smoothly. For example, you could combine the explanation of the emergency into a single, well-developed paragraph.

Lexical Resource

5
The vocabulary used is adequate, but there's room for improvement in terms of variety and sophistication. Try to incorporate more specific and descriptive words to make your writing more engaging. For instance, instead of just saying 'tragic accident,' you could provide a bit more detail without being overly dramatic.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

5
The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Focus on using correct verb tenses, articles, and prepositions. For example, 'emergency call went' should be rephrased for better accuracy. Also, ensure subject-verb agreement throughout the letter. Proofreading carefully before submitting can help catch these errors.
