Dear neighbours,

I hope my message finds you well.

I acknowlege receipt of your letter dated to October 13, 2026, in which you complained about the noise from my house.

I would like to let you know that this noise is due to ongoing renovation works that we have undertaken in some rooms of my house.

I really apologize for the inconvenience this has caused to you and your families. As you know, I am strongly attached to good neighbourhood. Such a disturabance should have not happened. I can ensure you that it was unintentional.

I am pleased to announce actions to address the issue. Indeed, I will temporary suspend the works and adopt precautions to avoid the noise to happen again. This will consist of using appropriate materials that will help isolate the noise.

Please be ensured of my continued cooperation with all of you to preserve good relationships in our area.

Sincerely,

Ephrem

Task Response

The letter covers all three required points: it explains the reason for the noise (renovation works), apologizes, and describes actions to be taken (suspending work and using soundproofing materials). The tone is polite and appropriate. However, there are some minor lapses: the phrase 'I am strongly attached to good neighbourhood' is slightly awkward, and 'I will temporary suspend' should be 'temporarily suspend.' Additionally, the action described could be more specific (e.g., limiting work hours). Overall, the task is well addressed, but these small inaccuracies prevent a higher score. To improve, ensure grammatical accuracy and provide more concrete details about the actions you will take.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is logically organized with clear paragraphs for each required point. However, some phrases are awkward and disrupt the flow, such as 'I can ensure you that it was unintentional' and 'Please be ensured of my continued cooperation.' These could be rephrased for smoother transitions. The overall message is clear, but the cohesion would be improved with more natural linking words and sentence structures.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, with some good attempts at formal language (e.g., 'acknowledge receipt,' 'ongoing renovation works'). However, there are several errors and awkward choices, such as 'disturabance' (misspelling), 'temporary' (should be 'temporarily'), and 'good neighbourhood' (should be 'good neighborly relations'). The range of vocabulary is limited, and more precise and natural expressions would enhance the letter.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are multiple grammatical errors that affect clarity, including subject-verb agreement ('I acknowledge' is correct but 'I really apologize' is fine, but 'I can ensure you' should be 'I can assure you'), incorrect word forms ('temporary' instead of 'temporarily'), and awkward phrasing ('to avoid the noise to happen again' should be 'to prevent the noise from happening again'). The letter uses a mix of simple and complex sentences, but the errors reduce the overall accuracy. More careful proofreading and a wider range of structures would improve the score.
