Hi Juli!

How are you doing? I hope life’s treating you well. Sorry that I didn’t reply sooner, I’ve been too busy.

I’m happy to hear that you’re planning to apply for the same course I did, I’m pretty sure you’ll like it. I honestly recommend you this subject as it is one of the most efficient Portuguese course I’ve ever taken. After beginning, I immediately noticed my progress and by the end ff the program, I was able to hold a conversation with native speakers.

Moreover, I believe this is the most serious niversity I’ve ever attended. For example, the curriculum is full of contents and all teachers are super patient and collaborative. Even though I had some financial difficulties, they’ve always understood my situation and offered me possible solutions. By the way, I suggest you to apply through the university’s online website because they usually offer better deals, such as promotions or discounts.

I hope this information will help you decide. Please, drop me a line if you have any doubts.

Lots of love,

Vicky.

Task Response

8
The letter appropriately addresses all parts of the task, providing details about the course, reasons for recommending the university, and advice on applying. The information is relevant and sufficient. To further enhance the response, consider adding more specific details about the course content or teaching methods to strengthen the recommendation. Also, elaborating on the types of financial solutions offered could be beneficial.

Coherence & Cohesion

6
The letter is generally well-organized and easy to follow. The paragraphing is logical, and the transitions between ideas are smooth. However, there's room for improvement in making the connections between ideas even more explicit. For instance, when transitioning from the course details to recommending the university, a clearer link could strengthen the flow. Overall, the letter maintains a good level of coherence and cohesion.

Lexical Resource

6
The vocabulary used is appropriate and generally effective for the task. Phrases like 'life's treating you well' and 'drop me a line' add a personal touch suitable for a letter to a friend. However, there's an opportunity to enhance the lexical resource by incorporating more specific and varied vocabulary related to the course and university experience. For example, instead of 'full of contents,' you could describe the curriculum as 'comprehensive' or 'rich in resources.' Overall, the lexical resource is adequate but could be further developed.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

6
The letter demonstrates a good command of grammar, with a variety of sentence structures used effectively. There are a few minor errors, such as the typo 'ff' and the slightly awkward phrasing 'most serious niversity,' but these do not significantly impede understanding. To improve further, focus on refining sentence structure and ensuring consistent accuracy in grammar and punctuation. Overall, the grammatical range and accuracy are commendable.
