Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0
You address all three requested points: you identify a nutrition consultant role at Gangaram Hospital, describe clinical and hospital duties, explain its relevance to Sara’s experience, and give a way to apply. The examples of clinical nutrition work and hospital consultation make the suitability explanation relevant. However, some details are compressed into a list, and the application guidance is brief: “look for careers option” does not explain what documents to submit or how to proceed once the vacancy is found. The visa point is also unclear as a reason for suitability. Develop these points with a little more explanation, and make the job description easier for a friend outside the field to follow.
Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.0
The letter follows a generally sensible order: greeting and context, job details, reasons for suitability, application instructions, and a closing. This makes the main purpose easy to identify. However, the job duties are presented as a long sequence, while the suitability paragraph joins separate reasons with “second” without clear punctuation or transitions. The application instruction is also packed into one sentence. Use separate paragraphs for the job, its suitability, and the application process, and connect ideas with clearer transitions such as “In addition” or “To apply.” This would make the progression smoother and reduce the impression of a list.
Lexical Resource: Band 6.0
You use an adequate range of topic-specific vocabulary, including “Medical nutrition therapy,” “NICU patients,” “multidisciplinary collaboration,” and “nutrition assessment.” These terms help convey the nature of the role, although the dense list sometimes makes the description difficult to read. There are several spelling errors, such as “relavent,” “Nutriton,” “descriptipn,” and “assessement,” and some phrases are not natural, including “heard a job about” and “wards round.” These do not prevent the reader from understanding the main message, but they reduce precision. Check spelling carefully and choose more natural collocations, for example, “heard about a vacancy” and “ward rounds.”
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0
You attempt both simple and more complex sentence forms, and the overall meaning is usually clear. However, some errors in sentence boundaries, articles, and verb forms make parts of the letter less controlled. For example, “You asked me to find … few months back, i heard” joins two independent clauses with only a comma, and “I find this job perfectly suitable for you have already…” lacks a clear grammatical link between the ideas. “You can apply to this job by simply visting there official website” also needs more accurate sentence construction and possessive form. Use full stops or conjunctions to separate ideas, and check articles and verb tense. Capitalise “I” consistently.
