Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to you to express my concern regarding the closing of public library near my house in the area of Bramalea City Centre, Brampton due to lack of funding.

This library serves an imperative role in my community, because of number of considerable factors. It not only help students in their research projects but also the elder people of the community gather here for reading and socialising.

Many college students who are unable to afford textbooks, visit this library for study, and score good marks in the examination. Those students are the future of next generation, so their education should be a top priority. Besides that, a community group gather here every thursday and share information regarding the recent inventions, which helps them to stay up to date regarding the technology.

Instead of shutting down this library, I would like to suggest that a small membership fee could be introduced by council, or can collaborate with the local businesses for financial support.

I hope my suggestion will be considered to save this library for community’s benefits. I would look forward a positive response from your side.

Yours faithfully,

Parminder Kaur

Task Response

8

The letter appropriately addresses the task by expressing concern about the library closure and providing reasons for its importance, details about its users, and an alternative solution. The points are relevant and sufficiently developed. To further enhance the response, consider adding specific examples or statistics to strengthen the arguments and make the alternative solution more concrete.

Coherence & Cohesion

5

The letter is generally coherent, but the organization could be improved. Consider structuring your points more clearly, perhaps with a more distinct topic sentence for each paragraph. Transition words could also be used more effectively to link ideas within and between paragraphs.

Lexical Resource

5

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement. Try to use a wider range of vocabulary to express your ideas more precisely. For example, instead of repeatedly using 'help,' consider synonyms like 'assist,' 'support,' or 'facilitate.' Also, ensure that your word choices are always appropriate for the context.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

5

The letter contains grammatical errors that affect clarity. Focus on improving sentence structure and ensuring correct verb tense usage. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement and the proper use of articles (a, an, the). Proofreading carefully will help catch these errors.
