Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.5

You address all three points: you identify a registered-nurse vacancy, describe duties such as giving medication and providing wound care, explain why Khushi’s experience and patience suit it, and give a website-based application route. The purpose is clear and the tone is friendly. The job description and suitability reasons are relevant, but some details are asserted rather than developed—for example, “they offer you good wages and some benefits” does not specify what these might be, and the application instructions could explain what documents or steps are needed. The response already covers the task well overall; adding a little more specific support and a clearer application process would make the ideas more fully developed and consistently precise.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 7.0

The letter has a clear progression from opening, to the job and its duties, to suitability, and finally to application instructions and a closing. Paragraphing helps the reader follow these stages, and links such as “In addition” and “because” connect related points. The overall organisation is effective, though some transitions are quite formulaic, and the application paragraph is brief compared with the earlier sections. The phrase “in their you go career” also makes the sequence of instructions harder to follow. Use clearer step-by-step linking, such as “First, visit the company website. Then select Careers,” and ensure references such as “their” have an unmistakable antecedent. This would make cohesion more flexible and polished.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You use relevant vocabulary for the topic, including “registered nurse,” “prescription,” “wound care,” “side effects,” and “hygiene protocol,” so the reader can understand the role and your reasons for recommending it. However, spelling and word-choice errors are noticeable, including “medicatoin,” “assiste,” “patence,” and “protocal.” Some phrases are also unnatural or imprecise, such as “suggest to a job,” “fulfill this position,” and “good wages.” These choices limit the accuracy and flexibility of the vocabulary, even though the intended meaning is generally recoverable. Build a bank of natural job-application collocations and check spelling carefully; more precise expressions would make the letter sound confident and professional.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.5

You attempt both simple and more developed sentence forms, including the explanation beginning “because your study…” and the sentence listing nursing duties. The main ideas remain understandable, but some grammatical errors recur. For example, “I am writing this letter for suggest” needs an infinitive pattern such as “to suggest,” while “your study is completely align” needs a correctly formed verb. In “you need to do some basic things like give,” the verbs should follow a consistent grammatical pattern, and “you can apply this job” needs a suitable preposition or verb construction. Review infinitives, verb forms, articles, and sentence patterns, then proofread each sentence. Greater accuracy across these structures would strengthen the range you are already attempting.
