Student answer (Band 6.5)

Dear Rohit,

I am fine and hope you are doing well too. I received your letter in which you asked for assistance in searching a job here, in India. I am aware about a job posting in a local company, Reliance Health, near to my residence that can be suitable for you. They have parntership with residents that need care at their residence with their daily life activities like meal preparation, grocery shopping and many more.

This job is suitable for you as you obtained your diploma in healthcare sector and are now a personal support worker. Therefore, you have all the qualifications required to apply for this role. Moreover, you have your diploma from a foreign institute which gives you a priviledge over the other other candidates. Another benefit of working with this company is that they send their employees to the residents who stay within the same city. As their office is near my home, you can stay with me and can save on accomodation costs.

In order to apply for the job, you must visit their website and download the application form. After successful completion of this form, send it to the HR via the email. The email address is on the website itself. Do not forget to attatch you resume and coveletter along with the application. Looking forward to see you soon.

Regards

Nandini Chandla

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 7.5

The letter addresses all three points clearly. You describe the role at Reliance Health and give practical examples of its duties, including meal preparation and grocery shopping. You also explain why Rohit is a good match by referring to his healthcare diploma and current work as a personal support worker, then add a personal benefit: he could stay with you and reduce accommodation costs. The application instructions are specific, covering the company website, form, HR email, résumé and cover letter. These details make the response purposeful and well supported. To strengthen it further, clarify the job title and perhaps mention where or when the vacancy was advertised; the description of the company’s work is useful but could be more precise.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 7.0

The information follows a clear sequence: you introduce the vacancy, explain why it suits Rohit, and then set out how to apply. Paragraphing supports these distinct stages, and linking expressions such as “Therefore,” “Moreover,” and “In order to apply” help the reader follow the reasoning. The letter also has an appropriate greeting and sign-off. Some connections are slightly mechanical, particularly the repeated addition of points with “Moreover” and “Another benefit.” The final application instructions are packed into one long sequence, so separating the required steps or using a clearer order would improve flow. The closing sentence could also connect more naturally to the friendly tone of the opening.

Lexical Resource: Band 6.0

You use an adequate range of vocabulary for the topic, including “personal support worker,” “qualifications,” “application form,” and “accommodation costs.” These choices make the job and application process understandable. However, several spelling and word-choice errors reduce precision: “parntership,” “priviledge,” “accomodation,” and “attatch” are misspelled, while “aware about a job posting” and “send it to the HR via the email” are not natural collocations. “Daily life activities” is understandable but less idiomatic than “daily living activities.” Proofreading spelling and learning common job-application phrases would make the vocabulary more accurate and natural without requiring more complicated words.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 6.0

The letter includes a mix of simple and complex sentence forms, such as “This job is suitable for you as…” and “As their office is near my home, you can stay with me…”. Most meaning remains clear, and the reader can follow the advice. Some grammatical errors remain, however. In “you have all the qualifications required to apply,” the phrasing is understandable but would be clearer as “you meet the qualifications for the role.” The sentence “After successful completion of this form, send it to the HR via the email” has an awkward grammatical construction; “Once you have completed the form, email it to the HR department” is more controlled. Also, “Looking forward to see you soon” should be “Looking forward to seeing you soon.” Aim to check verb patterns and sentence phrasing.
