Dear Sir,

I am writing to express my concern regarding to the tree is growing productively and massive which is in your front yard.

Unfortuntely, not only and the shade of tree has been covered all the sunshine that I could not enjoy the sunbathing but also the fruit is falling down causing my front yard messing that I nees to clean it twice a day. Moreover, the tree might fall down due to the weather is kind of windy and the wind speed is strong lately. As a result, once it is falling down by any chance, the most likely that would truely destroy my roof and I might need to take a while to handle this consquence.

In light of this serious circumstance, I would recommend you either hire a gardener to trim the tree or ask the supervisor who responsible for this matter in the concil department.

I would appreciate if you could look into this matter.

Thank you for your attention and support.

Sincerly,

Ting

Task Response

The letter addresses all the requirements of the task, describing the issue, explaining its effects, and suggesting a solution. There are some minor grammatical errors and awkward phrasing, but overall the message is clear. To improve, focus on using more natural and precise language.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter's organization is generally clear, but the flow of ideas could be improved. Consider using more transitional phrases to connect your points smoothly. For example, when moving from the issue of shade to the falling fruit, a phrase like 'In addition to the shade...' would enhance the connection. Also, ensure each paragraph focuses on a single main idea to improve clarity.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room to enhance it. Instead of 'messing,' you could use 'littered' or 'untidy.' Varying your word choice will make the letter more engaging and demonstrate a broader command of the language. Also, 'truely destroy' should be 'truly destroy'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar needs significant improvement. There are several errors in sentence structure and verb tense. For example, 'regarding to the tree is growing' should be 'regarding the tree that is growing' or 'regarding the tree in your yard.' Also, 'not only and the shade of tree has been covered' is grammatically incorrect; it should be 'not only has the shade of the tree covered.' Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement and correct tense usage throughout the letter.
