Dear Boss,

I am writing to you for a reduction in my working schedule for my new enrolled evening classes.

I am requesting a reduction in my working hours to ensure my study time for my new classes.The university suggests to study atleast 20 hours each week.

Regarding my working hours I propose to finish at 4 p.m. instead of 5 p.m. I know it will cause some disruption to the company but I will try to cover it up at the weekend.

Because my subject is related to technology for that reason I believe taking this course will be beneficial for me and the company.

I would greatly appreciate your kindness gesture for considering my request and am open for further discussion on this matter.

Your’s sincerely,

Habibur RAHMAN

Task Response

6
The letter adequately addresses the task by requesting a reduction in working hours. The reasons for the request are clearly stated, and a specific proposal is made. To improve, consider elaborating on how the reduced hours will be managed to minimize disruption and provide more details about the benefits of the course to the company. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

5
The letter is generally understandable, but the organization could be improved for better flow. Consider starting with a clear statement of your request and then providing supporting details. Use transitional phrases to connect ideas more smoothly. For example, you could use phrases like 'Furthermore' or 'In addition to' to link your reasons for the reduced hours.

Lexical Resource

5
The vocabulary is adequate but could be more precise and varied. Instead of 'kindness gesture,' consider using 'consideration' or 'understanding.' Try to use more specific vocabulary related to your field of work and studies to demonstrate a broader range.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

5
There are several grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, 'new enrolled evening classes' should be 'newly enrolled evening classes' or 'evening classes I have enrolled in.' Also, 'atleast' should be 'at least.' Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and correct tense usage. Proofread carefully to catch these errors.
