Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 8.0

You have successfully addressed all three bullet points in the prompt. You clearly identified how you could help (cooking, cleaning, laundry), explained your motivation (earning money for tuition), and provided a clear schedule of your availability. The tone is appropriate for a formal letter to a potential employer. The ideas are relevant and well-developed, ensuring the reader understands your situation and your offer of assistance. You have fulfilled all requirements of the task effectively.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 7.5

The letter is logically organized with a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and a closing. Each paragraph focuses on a specific aspect of the prompt, which helps the reader follow your ideas easily. You use some cohesive devices such as 'so', 'but', and 'as', although the transitions could be slightly more varied to improve the flow. Paragraphing is used appropriately to separate the different requirements of the task. Overall, the information is presented in a coherent manner.

Lexical Resource — Band 6.5

You demonstrate an adequate range of vocabulary for the task, such as 'pursuing', 'international student', and 'communication'. However, there are several spelling errors throughout the text, such as 'regading' (regarding), 'house hold' (household), 'laundary' (laundry), 'inable' (enable), 'intrested' (interested), 'expencess' (expenses), and 'collage' (college). These errors are noticeable but do not impede the overall meaning of your letter. To reach a higher band, you should focus on proofreading your work to eliminate these basic spelling mistakes.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 6.5

You use a mix of simple and complex sentence structures. While you are generally able to communicate your message, there are frequent grammatical errors, such as 'I am Rohit Singh lives near' (should be 'who lives'), 'language will be not an issue' (should be 'will not be'), and 'my all studies' (should be 'all my studies'). Punctuation is generally acceptable, but some sentence structures are slightly awkward. Improving your control over subject-verb agreement and word order will help you achieve a higher score.
