Dear Scott,

I’m writing to express my sincere happiness for that you are going to stay with me. I wanted to write to you to explain your arrival so that there will be no confusion.

I have heard that your train arrival will be in the morning. Unfortunately, I cannot welcome you because I have important things that need my own presence and other work, so I will not be at home till the evening. I accept my apologize if this causes you feel extra.

To tackle things, you can find my home key under the trash bin that I keep in the corner of my garden. Leave your luggage in the living room if needed. Please feel free to relax and make yourself comfortable.

I’m really looking forward to seeing you and spending time together like we have done when we were kids. Thank you so much for your understanding.

Task Response

The letter appropriately addresses the task by explaining the situation to the family member. The explanation is clear and sufficient, covering the key details about the arrival and access to the house. A slightly more natural tone and varied vocabulary could further enhance the letter.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally coherent and well-organized, with a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. The purpose of the letter is immediately apparent, and the information is presented in a logical sequence. However, there are a few areas where coherence could be improved. For example, the transition between the second and third paragraphs could be smoother. Consider using transitional phrases to connect ideas and improve the flow of the letter.

Lexical Resource

The letter demonstrates a sufficient range of vocabulary to convey the message clearly. However, there are some instances where the word choice could be more precise or natural. For example, instead of saying "I accept my apologize if this causes you feel extra," you could say "I apologize if this causes you any inconvenience." Also, consider using synonyms to avoid repetition and enhance the overall quality of the writing. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter demonstrates a good command of grammar, with only a few errors that do not significantly impede understanding. However, there are some areas where grammatical accuracy could be improved. For example, the phrase "I'm writing to express my sincere happiness for that you are going to stay with me" could be rephrased as "I'm writing to express my sincere happiness that you are going to stay with me." Pay attention to verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, and article usage to enhance the grammatical accuracy of your writing.
