Task Response

5.5

The letter addresses the task by giving details of how the writer and their friends/family use the sports and leisure centre, explaining its importance for the local community, and describing the possible effects of its closure. However, there are some issues with clarity and coherence in the response that could be improved.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter lacks coherence and cohesion due to the disorganized structure and unclear progression of ideas. Paragraphing is not effectively managed, and the flow of information is disrupted. To enhance coherence, consider organizing the letter into clear paragraphs with each focusing on a specific aspect of facility usage, importance, and effects of closure.

Lexical Resource

There is an attempt to use a range of vocabulary, but some words are used incorrectly or inappropriately. Additionally, there is a need for more varied and precise vocabulary to convey ideas more effectively. Work on expanding your vocabulary and using words accurately in context.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

While there is an effort to use a variety of sentence structures, there are several grammatical errors throughout the letter. Issues with verb tense consistency, subject-verb agreement, and word choice affect the overall clarity of the message. Review grammar rules, especially related to verb forms and sentence structure, to improve accuracy.
