task response
The letter should focus on expressing gratitude for the stay and politely requesting assistance in finding the watch. It's important to provide clear details about the lost item and the host family. Address any inquiries regarding the completion of the task and request for the return. The response is incomplete and lacks clarity of information and intent.
coherence cohesion
The letter lacks a formal opening and closing greeting. It is essential to maintain a formal and respectful tone throughout the letter. Additionally, the overall coherence and cohesion could be improved with the use of appropriate paragraphing to present clear and organized ideas.
