Task Response

The letter addresses the task by asking the pen pal to wait at the airport and providing instructions on how to identify the writer. However, the response could be more detailed and specific to fully meet the task requirements. It lacks clarity in explaining the reason for the delay and could be more organized. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is somewhat coherent but lacks cohesion. There are some abrupt shifts between ideas and the overall flow could be improved. Consider using transition words to connect ideas more smoothly. Additionally, the paragraphing could be better structured for clearer communication.

Lexical Resource

There is an attempt to use a variety of vocabulary, but some words are used incorrectly or inappropriately. Work on improving the precision and accuracy of your word choices. Try to incorporate a wider range of vocabulary to enhance the quality of your writing.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

While there is an effort to use a variety of sentence structures, there are several grammatical errors throughout the letter. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement, verb tenses, and sentence construction. Proofreading your work can help in identifying and correcting these errors.
