Student answer (Band 6.0)
DearSir/Mam
I am writing this letter in regarding the advertisement that you had posted for the need of language tutor.
I have a 10 year experience in teaching the different languages especially English. I hold a certified 4 year Tutor Degree from the University Canada west. Also, being a father, i know interact with small kids and teach them a language and other important lessons.
Moreover, I can help the children in their physical development. I have a great knowledge about varoius sports. I can help them in developing motor skills. These are very important from childhood. If a child is fit from childhood, then he will be free of diseases.
I need this job because I had recently moved to Australia and I donot have a job. Also, I have experience in teaching. So it will be great if i can gett job here. I am pretty sure our children will get experienced in language.
yours faithfully,
Komalpreet Singh

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 6.0
The letter covers all three bullet points required by the prompt. You explain your suitability through your teaching experience and degree, mention your ability to assist with physical development and sports, and provide reasons for wanting the job, such as your recent move to Australia. However, the development of these ideas is somewhat basic. For example, the explanation of why you want the job is quite brief and lacks a professional tone. To improve, try to expand on how your specific skills would benefit their children in a more personal and engaging way, ensuring the tone remains consistently professional throughout the letter.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 6.0
The letter is organized into clear paragraphs, which helps the reader follow your points. You use some basic cohesive devices like 'Moreover' and 'Also' to link ideas. However, the flow between sentences is sometimes a bit mechanical, and the transition between your teaching experience and your interest in the job could be smoother. The opening and closing salutations are slightly inconsistent; 'Dear Sir/Mam' is generic, and 'yours faithfully' is appropriate for a formal letter, but ensure your punctuation and capitalization are consistent throughout the text to improve the overall professional presentation.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.5
You demonstrate an adequate range of vocabulary for the task, using terms like 'physical development', 'motor skills', and 'certified'. However, there are several spelling errors, such as 'varoius' instead of 'various' and 'gett' instead of 'get'. Additionally, some word choices are slightly unnatural, such as 'in regarding' instead of 'regarding' or 'with reference to'. To reach a higher band, focus on using more precise collocations and ensure you proofread for common spelling mistakes. Expanding your vocabulary to include more descriptive adjectives would also enhance the quality of your writing.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.5
You use a mix of simple and some complex sentence structures. While the meaning is generally clear, there are frequent grammatical errors, such as 'I have a 10 year experience' (should be '10 years of experience'), 'I know interact' (should be 'I know how to interact'), and 'I donot have a job'. Punctuation is also inconsistent, particularly with the use of commas and capitalization after periods. These errors occur frequently enough to be noticeable, though they do not prevent the reader from understanding your message. Focusing on subject-verb agreement and article usage will help improve your accuracy.
