Dear Sania,

How have you been? its been a long time since we last met. I really enjoyed the time we spend together and the memories we made together with Sehaj and vimaljit.

Thank you for sending me the pictures, I recently checked my mail box and saw the pictures you sent me from our trip while seeing the picture I felt like it just happened yesterday. All the memories we made at CN tower and Toronto island is unforgettable. I really liked the food at the Indian cuisine Sehaj took us, kulcha and jalebi combo was the best.

I am really sorry for not texting you earlier because when I came back I had food poising and had bed rest for couple of days. Yeah I know you told me that time to not eat too much fried fish but I really liked the taste which in result made my stomach bad.

Im shifting this week to Brampton as work is really slow here and I looked a job over there as a machine operator in a manufacturing company. I hope you to visit me often as now I’m living close to your city. Lets make some plans again to travel somewhere or eat at new restaurants I know you’d love it!

Can’t wait to see you again. Let me know you holidays so we can plan something.

Best wishes

Task Response

The letter appropriately addresses all parts of the task, providing a thank you, an explanation, and an invitation. The content is relevant and sufficiently detailed. To improve, ensure that the tone is consistently friendly and informal throughout the letter. Also, proofread carefully to avoid minor grammatical errors.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally coherent, but could benefit from stronger transitions between ideas. For example, when transitioning from thanking them for the photos to explaining why you didn't write earlier, a clearer link could be established. Paragraphing is adequate, but could be improved to better organize the letter's content. Consider dedicating a separate paragraph to each main point (thank you, explanation, invitation).

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is generally appropriate, but could be more varied and precise. For instance, instead of saying 'I really liked the food,' you could use more descriptive language to express your enjoyment. Try to incorporate a wider range of vocabulary to enhance the letter's impact.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains grammatical errors and phrasing issues that affect clarity. For example, 'its been a long time' should be 'it's been a long time,' and 'spend together' should be 'spent together.' Pay close attention to verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, and correct use of articles. Proofreading carefully before submitting can help catch these errors.
