Dear Tiara,

I heard from your mom that you took a course for learning to drive, so here i write down what you should get atenttion to passing the test:

Firstly, i will say that driving licence is important if you want to go for travelling to other place instead you choose for public transportation, You can choose the driving licence that you need it. You can take for motorcycle either for private car, especially if you want to travelling in South East Asian Countries that rent a car or motorcycle would be best choice to travel around.

Second, i would recommended the driving school that i ever tried before, it’s near of my boarding house. I think the price still affordable for 2 weeks intensive learning and they had a experiences mentor to teach you driving smoothly. However, maybe you should apply for offline because they have old system instead.

For the last, my tips to makes you smoothly when driving is a confident. Mostly the beginner driver will be anxious of the traffic and will be scared if they look the road are crowd. So hopefully you can drive carefully, and looking forward to driving with you!

Sincerely,

Corina

Task Response

The letter addresses all parts of the task, providing reasons for getting a license, recommending a driving school, and offering tips. The content is relevant and generally well-organized. However, there are some lapses in coherence and language control. To improve, focus on using more precise vocabulary and ensuring grammatical accuracy throughout the letter. Also, pay attention to writing a more naturally flowing and detailed recommendation for the driving school, elaborating on its specific benefits.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter's organization is somewhat clear, but the flow of ideas could be improved. Transitions between points feel abrupt. Consider using more cohesive devices to link your ideas and paragraphs more smoothly. For example, use phrases like 'In addition to this' or 'Furthermore' to connect your points more logically. Also, ensure each paragraph focuses on a single main idea to improve clarity.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and sometimes inaccurate ('get atenttion to passing the test'). Try to use a wider range of vocabulary to express your ideas more precisely. For example, instead of 'makes you smoothly when driving,' you could say 'helps you drive smoothly.' Focus on learning synonyms and using more descriptive language.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains frequent grammatical errors that impede understanding. There are issues with sentence structure, verb tense, and article usage. For example, 'here i write down what you should get atenttion to passing the test' is grammatically incorrect. Focus on improving your understanding of basic grammar rules and sentence construction. Proofread carefully to catch and correct errors.
