I hope this message finds you well. I am writing this email to inform you some issues related to you pet sheru. In this apartment we are living almost from 9 years and in this years we do not face any problems with each other. I really greatfull for having neighbour like you. Yesterday night some people from our apartments from B-wing discussing on topic related to your pet. Some times its observed that sheru creat problem to other like he start barking and aggressive when someone new person enter in our apartments that leads to fears to that person. Due to this type of incident no one delivery boy take risk to come inside our apartments they simply call their customers outside the buildings and they also complain about this problems to watchman. Its also notice that in the evening time the kids also feeling scared and not raking risk to play in playground area of our apartments. Some parents also having issues with your pet they are say i you not fasten your pet than they will complain to society manager.

So my friends i humbly requested you to take this matter seriously and try to tie you pet at evening time because evening time having much crowd as compared to other time. Also inject proper vaccination to your dog. That leds to reduce risk if your pet bite anyone in future.

Thank you,

Zeeshan

Task Response

The letter attempts to address the task but includes irrelevant information and misses key points. The letter does not focus on the damage to the garden, how often the dog enters the yard, or specific requests for preventing future occurrences. The tone is also too informal for this type of letter. To improve, focus on directly addressing each point in the task instructions with specific details and use a more formal tone.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter's organization is weak, and the flow of ideas is difficult to follow. The introduction is somewhat unclear, and the letter quickly deviates into discussing issues beyond the garden damage, such as the dog's behavior towards other residents. The lack of clear paragraphing and transitions between ideas makes it hard to understand the main points. To improve, focus on clearly stating the purpose of the letter in the introduction, dedicating paragraphs to specific issues (garden damage, frequency, and desired actions), and using transitional phrases to connect ideas smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and sometimes inappropriate for the context. There are instances of informal language ('Hii suresh') and imprecise word choices ('creats problem'). To enhance lexical resource, try to use more specific and varied vocabulary related to the topic of the letter. For example, instead of 'creats problem,' you could use 'causes disturbances' or 'presents challenges.' Also, ensure the tone remains formal and respectful throughout the letter.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains numerous grammatical errors, including incorrect verb tenses, subject-verb agreement issues, and sentence structure problems. Punctuation is also used inconsistently. These errors significantly impact the clarity of the message. To improve, focus on reviewing basic grammar rules, paying attention to verb tenses and subject-verb agreement. Proofread carefully to catch and correct errors before submitting the letter.
