Dear My friend

Hello friend, I am writing to say welcome to Indonesia. I am so excited to hearing you arrived In Indonesia. I am sure that you will have wonderful experience because there are many attractive places with its nature beauty.

I highly recommend you that you visit Bali. It is the famous tourist destination in Indonesia. Bali well known with its beauty beaches and you can enjoy wonderful sunset there. I have been to Bali, I suggest you to go to Diamond Beach and Garuda. If you want to see the ancient temples such as Borubudur temple then you should go to Yogyakarta. And if you want to know the largest lake in Southeast Asia, you can visit my village, Lake Toba in Samosir, North Sumatera.

There are many activities that you can do during you stay here. You can try Indonesian local food, visit traditional market, watch attractions such as traditional dancing. If you like nature atmosphere then you can go hiking, snorkeling, diving in the sea, boating.

Please just have fun and do not worry about everything, if you need something information about the places, contact me, I would love to help you. And if you decide to come to my village, tell me so I can come to pick you up in the airport, you also can live in my home and we will go together to lake Toba.

I am looking forward to hear from you

Best regards

Theresia

Task Response

8
The letter appropriately addresses all parts of the task, offering suggestions for places to visit, recommending activities, and offering help during the friend's stay. The suggestions are relevant and provide a good overview of what Indonesia has to offer. To improve, consider adding more specific details about the activities or places, and ensure the tone remains consistently friendly and personal throughout.

Coherence & Cohesion

5
The letter is generally coherent, but the organization could be improved. Consider grouping suggestions by location or type of activity to enhance flow. For example, discuss all Bali-related activities together before moving on to Yogyakarta or Lake Toba. Also, ensure a smoother transition between paragraphs to maintain reader engagement.

Lexical Resource

5
The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement. Try to use more descriptive adjectives and varied phrasing to make the letter more engaging. For instance, instead of just saying 'wonderful experience,' describe what makes it wonderful, such as 'an unforgettable adventure filled with cultural discoveries.' Also, avoid repetitive phrases like 'you can visit,' and instead use alternatives such as 'I recommend exploring' or 'be sure to check out.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

5
The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Pay close attention to verb tense consistency (e.g., 'hearing' should be 'hear'), correct article usage (e.g., 'the beauty beaches' should be 'the beautiful beaches'), and proper sentence structure. Proofread carefully to eliminate these errors and enhance the overall quality of your writing.
