content
To improve task response, ensure you expand on each point you make. When mentioning the problems, be specific about how they affect your ability to work and study, providing more details and examples.
structure
Work on developing a clear paragraph structure with a distinct main idea in each paragraph. It is helpful to start a new paragraph for each new topic, such as describing the situation, explaining your problems and proposing a solution.
language
For coherence and cohesion, aim to use a variety of linking words and phrases to connect your ideas and paragraphs seamlessly. Transition between sentences and ideas can be enhanced by phrases that show cause and effect, contrast, and addition.
language
Rephrase the greeting slightly for a more formal tone, such as 'Dear Accommodation Officer' instead of 'Dear sir,' and also ensure to check the spelling of 'sincerely' in your closing. Make sure all pronouns and articles are correctly used for a more polished result.
accuracy
Pay attention to spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Mistakes like 'I am the student that lives in the 12 room' should be 'I am the student living in room 12' and 'dispite' should be 'despite'. Use complete sentences and proper conjunctions to clarify your points.
