Dear Emma,

Hope you are well.

As I mentioned before that my wife and I will have a long vacation to Bali on 20 – 30 June, 2026. With this email, I would like to ask your assistance to look forward my house during my trip such as turn on and off the front lights and also give some food for my koi fishes, two or three times a day.

I hope this thing will not make you more difficult as I do not have a close neighbor anymore and I would really appreciate to your help in this matter. Also, please do not hesitate to ask me or my wife if you need same thing in the future.

If you have any questions regarding of the fish food or light switch, please let me know.

Thank you so much for your help, Emma.

Hope you have a good day!

Regards,

Jonathan

Task Response

8
The letter addresses all three prompts from the task effectively. The reason for being away is clear, the request for house-sitting is specific, and the offer to return the favor is included. The tone is appropriate for a neighbor. To improve and reach a higher band, ensure more precise word choices (e.g., 'look after' instead of 'look forward') and refine grammatical structures to avoid minor errors in preposition usage and sentence construction (e.g., 'regarding the fish food' instead of 'regarding of').

Coherence & Cohesion

5
The letter follows a logical progression and addresses all three bullet points from the task. However, the flow is somewhat disrupted by awkward phrasing and grammatical errors. To improve, use more natural transition words and ensure that each sentence connects smoothly to the next. For example, instead of 'With this email,' which is more suited for formal business correspondence, you could use 'I am writing to ask...' to maintain a friendly neighborly tone.

Lexical Resource

4
The vocabulary is sufficient to convey the message, but there are several instances of incorrect word choices (collocations) that make the writing feel unnatural. For example, 'look forward my house' should be 'look after my house,' and 'make you more difficult' should be 'cause you any inconvenience.' Aim to learn common collocations and idiomatic expressions to make your writing sound more native-like. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

4
There are frequent grammatical errors throughout the text, including issues with preposition usage (e.g., 'regarding of'), sentence structure (e.g., 'As I mentioned before that...'), and verb forms. While the reader can still understand the intent, the density of these errors prevents a higher score. Focus on mastering basic sentence structures, the correct use of prepositions, and ensuring that complex sentences are grammatically sound.
