Dear Daniyal,

I am writing to you that i am exited to hear you because you join a course at the university where I studied.Then i was in study life at this university I lived at the George house this is shared house about ten minute walk from university.Local shoppes are available few minutes on away .

The best way start your search at the university accommodation office. They keep an update list approved places which are better reputation and other warm student list who choice bad areas. Other way you search accommodation on platforms like face book and contact with them visit the area and communicate with neighborhood they explain you accurate details of place and I dedicate you this way Its very assist.

There are many places with different students who choose the places a lot of mistakes makes. Firstly, you check in accommodation house owner contact, your stratification about room like utility bills other service. Big warring just write contract on stamp paper they assist you any where.

I hope you happy to look every thing you find.

Task Response

The letter addresses all parts of the task, describing accommodation, recommending search methods, and warning about mistakes. There are some minor grammatical errors and awkward phrasing, but the overall message is clear. To improve, focus on using more natural and accurate language, and ensure each point is fully developed with specific details.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter's organization is somewhat unclear, and the transitions between ideas could be smoother. Consider using more explicit transition words and phrases to guide the reader. For example, in the second paragraph, you could start with 'Firstly' or 'To begin with' to introduce the first piece of advice. In the third paragraph, using phrases like 'However' or 'On the other hand' could help to contrast the advice about mistakes to avoid. Also, ensure each paragraph focuses on a single main point to improve clarity.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and lacks the range needed to fully address the task. Try to incorporate more specific and varied vocabulary related to accommodation and student life. For example, instead of 'Local shoppes are available few minutes on away,' you could say 'A variety of local shops are conveniently located a few minutes away.' Also, avoid informal language like 'warm student list' and replace it with more appropriate phrases such as 'warn students about.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains numerous grammatical errors that impede understanding. Focus on improving sentence structure, verb tense consistency, and correct use of articles and prepositions. For example, 'I am writing to you that i am exited to hear you because you join a course' should be revised to 'I am writing to you because I am excited to hear that you will be joining a course.' Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement and punctuation as well. Proofreading carefully before submitting will help catch many of these errors.
