Dear John,

I hope you and your family are doing great. I got really happy when I saw your email, because I hadn’t heard from you for a long while. I am writing in reply to your request on some suggestions regarding the course that I did three years ago.

As you may know, I applied for a Genetics course in Hopkins in 2022, following the dream of continuing my PhD in biotechnology. I guess you can remember how satisfied I was when I received the news of getting accepted. It was a 2-year course, including some basic and advanced theoretical knowledge in genetics, in addition to a thorough hands-on experience.

Hopkins, one of the top-ranked universities in this field with pretty well-equipped laboratories, provides a great opportunity for the students to gain an excellent practical experience in performing genetic tests. On the other hand, learning under the supervision of well-known professors and experienced mentors can be a great help in your path toward your future career.

If you want to apply for this course, I suggest that you check the website, because I think the applications would open in late April. You have to submit a CV and a cover letter, in which you should explain your background and the reason behind your interest in this course.

I would be more than happy to help you prepare these files. Please feel free to contact me if you need any further assistance.

All the best,

Parisa

Task Response

9
The letter fully satisfies the requirements of the task. It provides detailed information about the course, explains the reasons for recommending the university, and offers practical advice on the application process. The response is well-organized, coherent, and uses appropriate language throughout.

Coherence & Cohesion

7
The letter is well-organized and easy to follow. The information is presented in a logical order, addressing all points mentioned in the task. However, there are a few areas where the flow could be improved to enhance coherence. For example, in the third paragraph, elaborating slightly more on the benefits of learning under experienced professors could strengthen the connection to the overall recommendation of the university.

Lexical Resource

8
The letter demonstrates a good range of vocabulary, using appropriate and relevant terms related to the course and university experience. The language is natural and conveys the writer's enthusiasm effectively. To further enhance the lexical resource, consider incorporating more sophisticated vocabulary or idiomatic expressions where appropriate, but ensure they fit naturally within the context.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

6
The letter demonstrates a good command of grammar with only minor errors. Sentence structures are varied, and punctuation is generally accurate. To improve further, pay close attention to verb tense consistency and subject-verb agreement. A thorough proofread before submission can help catch these minor errors.
