Dear John,

I hope you are doing well! How is your family? Next week is my birthday and I am planning to throw a amazing party. I need your suggestion about choosing the restaurant.

I am thinking of a gathering of 15-20 people on 5th march, in the evening at an elite restaurant, where I can offer indian cuisine to my friends.

You told me that you visited a restaurant few days ago. Do you think that that restaurant will be good for my birthday? When you had chat last time, you were appreciating the ambiance and the delectable cuisine, but the name escape me at the moment. If you can send me the location and the name of the restaurant, that would be a great help as I am a bit nervous about all the arrangements.

As for the food, what kind of cuisines they serve, and would appreciate if you can suggest some of their popular dishes.

I will send you an invitation shortly. Looking forward to a reply.

Warm regards

[your name]

Task Response

The letter adequately addresses the task by informing the friend about the planned birthday party, asking for the restaurant's name and directions, and inquiring about the type of food and menu recommendations. However, there are some lapses in content, such as not specifying the time of the party and not explicitly asking for the friend's opinion on whether the restaurant would be suitable for the birthday party.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally coherent and cohesive, with ideas presented in a logical order. However, there are some minor lapses in coherence and cohesion, such as the abrupt transition from discussing the party to asking about the restaurant. Additionally, the paragraphing could be improved for better organization of ideas.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is somewhat limited, and there are instances of imprecise word choices and awkward phrasing. To improve, try to incorporate a wider range of vocabulary and use more natural and sophisticated language. Additionally, pay attention to word forms and collocations for better lexical resource.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

While a variety of sentence structures are attempted, there are noticeable grammatical errors throughout the letter, such as subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, and punctuation errors. To enhance grammatical range and accuracy, focus on improving sentence structures and ensuring proper grammar and punctuation usage.
