Task Response

The letter attempts to address the task but includes irrelevant and inaccurate information, detracting from task achievement. The response includes some details about living in Lahore, which is not directly relevant to advising the friend about accommodation near the university. The letter also contains some language errors. To improve, focus on directly addressing each point in the task instructions with relevant and specific information. Ensure the advice is practical and tailored to the friend's situation.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter's organization is somewhat unclear, and the transitions between ideas could be smoother. The introduction contains irrelevant information. Focus on directly addressing the task points in a logical sequence. Use clearer topic sentences for each paragraph to guide the reader. Avoid unnecessary repetition of phrases like 'I want to write a letter to you.'

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and lacks variety. There are instances of unnatural phrasing. Expand your range of vocabulary by using synonyms and more specific words related to accommodation and university life. For example, instead of 'good and suitable place for stay,' consider 'comfortable and convenient residence.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors, including incorrect verb tenses, subject-verb agreement issues, and awkward sentence structures. For example, 'I hope you are your family are living in good health' is grammatically incorrect. Proofread carefully and focus on using correct grammar and sentence structure. Vary your sentence structures to improve the flow and readability of your writing.
