Dear Bang Vu,

I hope you are doing well, I am writing to inform you about I would like to organise an event to celebrate this anniversary with all our friends and classmates from college.

I have a plan that prepared before about year ago. I want to celebrate a small party behind the garden in my house where we can dance and enjoy some foods and drinks. I think it will be fasinating and colorful.

The reason why I believe it would be good to celebrate in this way because I will open a short video about we studied and a lot of beautiful memories which made me feel delighted and emotions. So, I decided to invite all our friends to watch and enjoy together.

I will hire a group to decoration there and installation something about the light and the large television which give us have a good space.

I hope you will support and help me about cooking and arrange somthing.

Your best friend,

Truc Nguyen.

Task Response

The letter adequately addresses the task by suggesting a celebration event, explaining the reasons for it, and describing the help needed. There are some minor grammatical errors and awkward phrasing, but overall the letter is clear and fulfills the requirements of the task. To improve, focus on using more natural and varied language, and ensure grammatical accuracy.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter generally conveys the message, but the organization could be improved for better flow. Consider grouping related ideas together more explicitly. For example, you could dedicate a paragraph to the specific activities planned for the celebration and another to the reasons for choosing this type of celebration. Transition words could also be used to link ideas more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room to enhance it with more varied and precise word choices. For instance, instead of 'fasinating and colorful,' you could use more descriptive adjectives like 'vibrant' or 'memorable.' Explore synonyms to add depth and interest to your writing.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains grammatical errors that occasionally impede understanding. Focus on improving sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, and correct tense usage. For example, 'I have a plan that prepared before about year ago' could be revised to 'I prepared a plan about a year ago.' Pay close attention to punctuation as well to enhance clarity.
