Dear Alex,

I’m sorry I haven’t written for you so long, but I have some incredible news for you! We have moved to another house and you will be surprised why.

As you may know, last month my dad was offered to become a lawyer in Chicago’s main court, because he demonstrated his developed skills and knowledge in this sphere here, in our local court, and priorities were greatly satisfied. We all love Chicago and it was our family’s desire to buy a house there, so we chose the most cozy and not so big, as there are just three of us.

It is a modern-fashioned place with electronic gates for our garage, red roof and a small balcony on the first floor, which consists of pretty wood table, surrounded by chairs. Basement, which leads to the living room and others is decorated with shelves and books on them. There is a lovely tiny kitchen for my mom and me to cook and an attic for different stuff.

I’m sure you are interested in how my own room looks like and that’s why I invite you in Chicago for some days at winter. I can not wait to see you!

With best regards,

Tom

Task Response

The letter appropriately covers all requirements of the task, explaining the reason for moving, describing the new house, and inviting the friend to visit. The content is relevant and sufficiently detailed. While the language is generally good, there are a few instances where the phrasing could be more natural. For example, the explanation of the father's job offer is a bit convoluted. To improve, focus on using more concise and natural English expressions.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally well-organized with a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. The purpose of the letter is immediately apparent, and the progression of ideas is logical. However, some sentences could be restructured for better flow and clarity. Transition words could be used more effectively to link ideas between paragraphs.

Lexical Resource

The letter demonstrates a good range of vocabulary, and the word choices are generally appropriate. However, there are instances where more precise or sophisticated vocabulary could be used to enhance the description and impact. For example, consider using synonyms to avoid repetition and to add depth to the writing.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter exhibits a mix of simple and complex sentence structures. However, there are noticeable grammatical errors and phrasing issues that affect clarity. Pay closer attention to verb tense consistency, subject-verb agreement, and correct use of prepositions. Reviewing basic grammar rules and proofreading carefully can help improve accuracy.
