Hi Bobby,

I am really sorry for making you wait for the dinner last night Bobby. My parents came to visit my apartment last night so I couldn’t make it to the dinner. I live seperately from my parents since high school started and I am forced to spend time with my parents that night watching the newest dinosaur movie at the cinemas.

I feel terribly sorry for not telling you earlier that day. I should have at least answered your 7 missed calls and 4 “unread” messages last night. I hope you didn’t crash out or get lost without me that day.

How about we have our dinner the next weekend? I hope you can spare some time next weekend and maybe we could do some karaoke together after the dinner. I will be waiting for your response and I will be very excited to meet you next weekend. From your buddy, Russell.

Task Response

8
The letter appropriately addresses all parts of the task, providing a clear explanation for missing the dinner, expressing remorse, and suggesting a way to make it up to the friend. The tone is suitable for a friendly apology. To improve, consider adding a bit more detail to enhance the sincerity of the apology and the attractiveness of the proposed alternative.

Coherence & Cohesion

5
The letter is generally coherent, but the organization could be improved. Consider dedicating a paragraph to each of the points mentioned in the task instructions (reason for forgetting, feelings about leaving them waiting, and plan to make it up to them) to improve clarity. The flow of ideas could be smoother with better transitions between sentences and paragraphs.

Lexical Resource

5
The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement. Using more varied and precise language could enhance the letter. For example, instead of 'making you wait,' you could use 'causing you to wait' or 'leaving you waiting.' Try to incorporate a wider range of vocabulary to express your apologies and propose alternative plans. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

5
The letter contains grammatical errors and phrasing issues that affect clarity. Focus on using correct tense consistently and ensuring subject-verb agreement. Pay attention to punctuation, especially commas and apostrophes. Review the letter carefully for errors before submitting.
