Task Achievement
The response does not fully address all parts of the task. The points mentioned about personal usage and community importance are adequate, but there is a lack of detail in describing the possible effects on local people if the centre closes.
Coherence and Cohesion
The letter lacks a clear logical structure, with ideas presented in a disorganized manner. The greeting and closing are appropriate, but the overall coherence and cohesion need improvement.
Lexical Resource
The lexical resource is somewhat limited, and there is a need for a wider range of vocabulary to effectively convey the message.
Grammatical Range
There are numerous grammatical errors throughout the letter. A focus on improving sentence structure and grammatical accuracy is necessary.
