Dear Sara,

I am writing to get more information about the restaurant that you had gone to recently. As you know my birthday is in a month and I am planning for it. Let me tell you more about my plans. First, I am looking for a wide place with modern decorations as I am going to invite 50 persons. The party will start during lunch time, so we will have lunch before we celebrate. The party will be in a specific theme, so I am planning to make some adjustments in the décor of the place.

The party will be on Thursday, May 5th. It would be kind of you if you assist in telling me the directions to get there. Moreover, you can share with me the location of the restaurant via Watsapp. Can you tell me more about the kind of food that this restaurant is famous for? I am thinking about having Italian food that day. It will be nice of you if you recommend specific food from the menu. Let me ask you about if the restaurant can help me in preparing the birthday cake. I wish you a nice day!

Thanks in advance for your assistance

Task Response

7
The letter addresses all three bullet points required by the task. You have described the party, asked for directions/name, and inquired about the food. However, there are a few areas for improvement to reach a higher band score. First, you missed one specific requirement: asking for the name of the restaurant. Second, while you addressed the food, the transition between discussing your party plans and asking for restaurant details could be smoother. Finally, some phrasing is slightly formal for a letter to a friend (e.g., 'It would be kind of you if you assist' or 'Thanks in advance for your assistance'). In an informal letter to a friend, using more natural, conversational language such as 'Could you let me know...' or 'Let me know what you think!' would be more appropriate. To improve, ensure every single prompt in the task is explicitly answered and focus on maintaining a consistent informal tone throughout.

Coherence & Cohesion

6
The letter follows a logical progression, addressing all parts of the prompt. However, the transitions between sentences can feel somewhat abrupt. To improve, try using more natural cohesive devices and linking words to connect your ideas. For example, instead of starting multiple sentences with 'The party will...', you could combine ideas to create a smoother flow.

Lexical Resource

6
The vocabulary used is functional and appropriate for the task, but it is somewhat basic. To reach a higher band, aim to use more varied and sophisticated vocabulary. For instance, instead of 'wide place', you could use 'spacious venue'; instead of 'make some adjustments', you could use 'customize the decor'. Additionally, ensure you use the correct plural forms, such as '50 people' instead of '50 persons' in a casual context. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

4
There are several grammatical inaccuracies and awkward phrasings that occasionally hinder the natural flow of the letter. Issues include tense usage (e.g., 'that you had gone to' vs 'that you went to') and sentence structure (e.g., 'Let me ask you about if...'). Focus on mastering complex sentence structures and ensuring that your verb tenses are consistent with the context of the story. Practicing the use of conditional sentences (e.g., 'If you could send me the location, that would be great') would also help improve the tone.
