Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to ask for information about the advertisement which is about helping people at the hospital without payment. I would like to collaborate with this task in my free time because I feel that is important to support the local people

I have been working for two years in a hospital, so I have a lot of experience cleaning rooms and bathrooms. Moreover, I have a great capacity to learn new abilities and skills so I am available to do whatever you need.

I also have a good relationship with old people. I think it could be a useful skill in this context where you need to be patient. I can adapt myself to the situation and work with a wide range of ages.

I am available to work on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday in the morning. However, I could eventually work on Tuesday if it is necessary.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Gaston.

Task Response

The letter effectively addresses all three required points: it explains the motivation for volunteering, describes the type of work the writer can do, and provides availability details. The tone is appropriate and the letter is well-structured. There are minor lapses, such as a slight grammatical error ('I feel that is important') and a somewhat vague phrase ('collaborate with this task'), but these do not detract from the overall clarity and task achievement. To improve, ensure grammatical accuracy and use more precise language to enhance professionalism.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is logically organized and easy to follow. Each paragraph addresses a specific point from the task: the reason for volunteering, relevant experience and skills, and availability. The use of cohesive devices is natural, though a few transitions could be smoother (e.g., 'Moreover' and 'I also' are used effectively). The letter is well-paragraphed, but the opening could be more direct in stating the purpose. Overall, the message is clear and coherent.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is appropriate and generally accurate. The writer uses a range of words and phrases such as 'collaborate with this task', 'great capacity to learn', and 'adapt myself to the situation', which show some flexibility. However, there are a few awkward or informal choices (e.g., 'collaborate with this task' could be 'participate in this initiative', and 'I have a great capacity' is slightly unnatural). The range is adequate but not highly sophisticated. To improve, consider using more precise and varied vocabulary related to volunteering and hospital work.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is largely accurate with only minor errors. The writer uses a variety of sentence structures, including complex sentences (e.g., 'I think it could be a useful skill in this context where you need to be patient'). There are a few minor issues: 'that is important' should be 'it is important', and 'I can adapt myself' is slightly redundant (could be 'I can adapt'). Overall, the grammar is controlled and does not impede understanding. The punctuation is correct throughout.
