Dear Sarah,

I hope everything is going well with you What i’m happiest about is that it has been ten years since we left college. Although we all are busy in our personal and pfofessional life, it would be really excited when it brings our all old classmates on this anniversay celebration. The event which i would organise next week , could be funny, offering food, music and prsenation of slides of our college photos.

Having discussed with some friends, i think a candle night dinner is perfect to celebrate our ten -year annivarsary. Photos will be captured by renowned photographers and the venue could be decorated with colourful lights and bloons which would be good way to make it better.

If everone agrees, we can play some indoor games like ludo, so the evening would have warm and nostalgic atmosphere. Should you have any old stationart which we used at college time, i would really apprecite if someone bring them to recall our memories.What i think is to make it speacial, anyone can come with their parents to celebrate it. Not only would this event offer happiness but also it would recoonect us after many years.i’d really appreciate if any one give me update reagaring who is coming to attent this event.

I would really looking forward to seeing you.

Best wishes,

Rakhpreet kaur

Task Response

The letter addresses the task by proposing a celebration event (candle night dinner) and explaining its benefits, but it lacks clarity and detail in several areas. The purpose of the event is mentioned, but the explanation of why this particular celebration is good is somewhat vague. The help needed is only briefly touched upon (asking for updates on attendance and bringing old stationery), but it is not clearly or fully developed. There are also numerous spelling and grammatical errors that affect clarity, such as 'pfofessional', 'anniversay', 'prsenation', 'bloons', 'stationart', 'reagarding', and 'attent'. The tone is friendly but the letter is disorganized and lacks a clear structure. To improve, focus on clearly stating the type of event, provide specific reasons for choosing it, and explicitly list the help you need (e.g., contacting classmates, arranging venue, collecting photos). Also, proofread for spelling and grammar to enhance readability.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter has a logical structure with clear paragraphs, but the flow is sometimes disrupted by abrupt transitions and unclear references. For example, the shift from describing the event to discussing specific details like indoor games and bringing parents could be smoother. Use cohesive devices more effectively to link ideas, and ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic. Additionally, the final request for help is somewhat vague; specify exactly what assistance you need.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there are several spelling errors (e.g., 'pfofessional', 'anniversay', 'prsenation', 'bloons', 'stationart', 'apprecite', 'speacial', 'recoonect', 'reagaring', 'attent') and some awkward word choices (e.g., 'funny' instead of 'fun', 'good way to make it better' is repetitive). To improve, use a wider range of precise vocabulary and ensure correct spelling. For instance, 'candle night dinner' could be 'candlelit dinner', and 'renowned photographers' is good but could be expanded with more descriptive language.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are numerous grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect clarity. Examples include missing commas after introductory phrases ('Dear Sarah, I hope...' is fine, but 'What i'm happiest about is that...' lacks a comma), incorrect verb forms ('would be really excited' should be 'would be really exciting'), and subject-verb agreement ('if anyone give me' should be 'if anyone gives me'). Also, the sentence 'I would really looking forward to seeing you' is missing 'be'. To improve, review basic grammar rules, use a variety of sentence structures, and proofread carefully. Pay attention to capitalization and punctuation throughout.
