Task Achievement
To improve task response, ensure you address all aspects of the task fully. In your letter, while you explained the situation and suggested a solution, elaborating more on why it specifically bothers you beyond just your studies could provide a more complete response.
Coherence and Cohesion
For coherence and cohesion, try to use a wider range of linking devices to better connect your ideas. While your letter flows relatively well, incorporating phrases such as 'Furthermore' or 'Moreover' could enhance the connection between your points.
Coherence and Cohesion
When beginning and ending your letter, ensure you use formal language suitable for writing to a landlord. Your letter starts and ends appropriately but might benefit from a more formal closing like 'Yours sincerely' instead of 'Kind regards,' especially if you haven't met the landlord in person.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
