Dear Family Member,

I hope this letter finds you in both good health and spirit. During our most recent exchange, I have briefly mentioned the possibility of my family visiting our home country in the next holiday season. After futher discussion, they have decided to visit Spain during christmas this year. Tickets have been booked for a two-week stay, starting on the 23rd of December 2025. They will be using an airplane for their travels, set to disembark on Barcelona’s international airport.

Let me explain the situation further. Unfortunately, I will not be able to travel with them to Spain due to heavy work this holiday season. So, I plan on requesting help from you as one of my closest family member back home. It has been a long time since my family has returned back to Spain, and I want them to feel home again. If it is possible, I want to request your help to pick them up at the airport on the date of arrival. Afterwards, please bring them to Grandma’s home and make sure that their room is all set up. During the visit, you can take them to pray at Segrada Familia and watch FC Barcelona matches. My father has mentioned that he misses the city a lot, so please accompany them to do some activities together during the visit.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards,

Syarief Kemalsyah Hariandja

Task Response

8
The letter appropriately addresses all parts of the task, providing relevant details about the family's arrival, the assistance needed, and suggested activities. The information is presented clearly and logically. To further improve, consider adding more specific details about the accommodation preparations or suggesting a wider range of activities to make the letter even more comprehensive.

Coherence & Cohesion

7
The letter is generally well-organized and the purpose is clear. However, there are a few areas where the flow could be improved. For example, the transition between explaining your inability to travel and requesting help could be smoother. Consider using more explicit transition phrases to guide the reader. Also, avoid repetition of information.

Lexical Resource

7
The vocabulary used is appropriate and conveys the message effectively. To enhance the letter, try incorporating a wider range of vocabulary related to travel arrangements and family activities. For instance, instead of 'make sure that their room is all set up,' you could use 'ensure their room is prepared and welcoming.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

6
The letter demonstrates a good command of grammar, with only minor errors. Pay attention to sentence structure and word choice to improve clarity. For example, 'After futher discussion' should be 'After further discussion'. Also, avoid redundancy, such as 'returned back to Spain'; simply use 'returned to Spain'.
