Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 6.0

The letter addresses all three bullet points: the reason for leaving, the desired job type, and the request for assistance. However, the development of these ideas is quite limited. The explanation for leaving is vague ('not subtable for my course'), and the description of the desired job is repetitive and lacks specific detail. While the task requirements are met, the response lacks the depth and clarity expected for a higher band. The tone is somewhat informal and occasionally inconsistent, which is acceptable for a letter to a friend, but the lack of elaboration on the 'kind of job' makes the response feel underdeveloped.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 6.0

The letter is organized into paragraphs, which helps the reader follow the structure. However, the use of cohesive devices is often mechanical or inaccurate. For example, 'firstly' is used without a clear sequence of points, and 'moreover' is used in a way that feels disjointed. There are also issues with referencing and sentence flow, such as 'I am which can prefer good salary job', which makes the progression of ideas difficult to follow. While the overall arrangement is coherent enough to understand the intent, the lack of smooth transitions and logical linking between sentences limits the score.

Lexical Resource — Band 5.5

The vocabulary is quite limited and repetitive. There are frequent errors in word choice and spelling, such as 'subtable' (suitable), 'safety' (secure), 'employ' (employee), and 'CCV' (CV). The range of vocabulary is insufficient to express ideas with precision. The student relies on basic phrasing, and the misuse of words like 'safety' to describe job security significantly hinders the clarity of the message. To improve, the student needs to focus on learning correct collocations and expanding their range of professional vocabulary to better describe career goals and job requirements.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.5

The response contains frequent grammatical errors that often impede communication. There are issues with subject-verb agreement ('I hope your doing well'), article usage, and sentence structure ('I am which can prefer good salary job'). The range of structures is limited, consisting mostly of simple sentences with some errors in punctuation and capitalization. Complex sentence attempts are often faulty, such as 'I am looking for new job because the present job is not subtable for my course i did'. These persistent errors in basic grammar and sentence construction are a significant barrier to achieving a higher score.
