Dear Momo,

I hope this letter finds you well. I have been thinking about you want to apply mandarin language course at university. I am glad that you want to challenge yourself into a new different course you never had before. I want to tell you that this course is held not only for local students but also for international student. So, you probably can meet many students from other countries. I have been done this course in last year, so I can share few things that I learned from the course. I guarantee that you will have so much fun during the course because you will get lessons in classroom and there will be an outing lesson at the end of this course.

I think you have good choice to apply mandarin language at B university. They will give you the credits that can be used for international exchange program, especially the one for exchange program in China. I know you have been meaning to do your further study in China.

If you are really interested to apply mandarin language course, you can visit the university’s administration office and bring your student ID to register for the course. I hope you can enjoy the lessons and meet new friends there.

Task Response

The letter generally addresses the requirements of the task, but some aspects could be improved. The letter provides some details about the course and recommends the university, but the advice on how to apply is quite brief. To improve, provide more specific and detailed advice on the application process, such as mentioning specific documents needed or deadlines. Also, ensure that the tone is consistently friendly and encouraging throughout the letter.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally coherent, but the organization could be improved. Consider structuring the letter with clear paragraphs for each point mentioned in the task: details of the course, reasons for recommending the university, and application advice. This will enhance the flow and make it easier for the reader to follow your advice.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement. Try to use more specific and varied language to describe the course and the university's benefits. For example, instead of 'so much fun,' you could say 'incredibly engaging' or 'intellectually stimulating.' Also, avoid informal language like 'few things' and replace it with something more formal like 'some key aspects'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors that affect the clarity of the letter. Pay close attention to verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, and article usage. For example, 'you want to apply mandarin language course' should be 'you want to apply for a Mandarin language course.' Proofread carefully to catch these errors and consider using a grammar checker to help identify areas for improvement.
