Dear Pat,

I hope you are doing well. I had a good time at your place last weekend. I appreciate you for being the best host again.

I just got to know that I left my coat at your home. It was army green in colour with furs attached and Moutain Warehouse written on the left side of the chest part of the coat. As much as I can remember, I saw it last on the rocking chair near the window of a balcony on the first floor. There are some valuable things such as a wallet with all the cards and IDs and my home keys in the right pocket.

Could you please check if my coat is still there? If it’s not too much trouble can you drop it off if you are coming in near my place. Alternatively, I can pick it up when you are at home.

Thanks a lot for the help! Looking forward to catching up soon.

Take Care,

Hetaswi

Task Response

The letter fully addresses the task, clearly explaining the situation, describing the coat, and making suggestions for its return. However, to reach a band 9, the language could be more precise and nuanced, and the tone could be more formal.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is well-structured and easy to follow, with each paragraph logically connected to the previous one. However, some cohesion devices could be used more effectively to link ideas between sentences.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate, but some words and phrases are a bit informal (e.g., 'being the best host again', 'Looking forward to catching up soon'). To reach a higher band, more precise and formal vocabulary could be used.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, with a good range of sentence structures used. However, there are a few minor errors (e.g., 'I just got to know that I left my coat at your home' could be 'I've just realized I left my coat at your home'). To reach a higher band, the grammar should be more precise and sophisticated.
