Dear Uju,

It has been a while since we last spoke. Hope your new business is booming.

We have things to discuss, but I would leave that for when we see. I am so happy to hear from you, and trust me to recommend the best places for your vacation. My visit to Giwa Resort was my best holiday experience. Asides the location and the ambiance, there are lots of side attractions. Although the only way to get to the resort is by ferry, you would enjoy the ride.

The local supermarket was one of the first places I checked out. It has lots of beautiful handmade crafts, and they sell animal prints. Also, I had so much fun at the beach. However, the visit to the waterfall was the most satisfying view for me.

One of my major highlights was the food. There are varieties of food ranging from seafood, local food, Chinese dishes, and a lot more. Every weekend, there is movie night at the film house cinema. Live performance by Big Brother band takes place every Wednesday at the bar.

I hope you will visit the resort, and write to me about your stay.

Your Friend,

Chidera.

Task Response

5.5

The letter partially addresses the task by recommending a destination for a holiday and providing details about the place visited, activities, and food. However, it lacks specific information about where you stayed during your visit, which is a key part of the task. To improve, make sure to include details about the accommodation in your recommendation.

Coherence & Cohesion

6.5

The letter is mostly coherent and cohesive, with ideas presented in a logical order. The introduction and conclusion are appropriate, but some paragraphs could be more developed to provide additional information about the recommended destination. Consider expanding on the activities and food options available at the resort for better cohesion.

Lexical Resource

There is a good range of vocabulary used throughout the letter. However, to enhance the lexical resource, try incorporating more specific and descriptive language to paint a vivid picture of the destination. Additionally, vary your sentence structures to add complexity and sophistication to your writing.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy
