Dear Ali,

I am writing to you as we both are responsible for arrangening the firm’s annual party which is held yearly in the last month of the year.

I am pleased to inform you that, this year we will have a comprehensive review on our company’s financial achievements and the most successful employee will recieve a great reward. I should mention that the prize is a real surprise.

As you might remember, there were some issues with last year’s party such as unsuitable timining and drinks which were served at the ceremony. This year based on CEO’s permission the party will be in Friday night as everyone could participate. Moreover, because serving alcoholic drinks caused some difficulties, the board have decided that drinks should be non-alcoholic in upcoming party.

As our homes are approximately in equal distance to the main shopping mall in city center I kindly request you to have our meeting in the cafewhich is located in third floor of shopping center. That is well known for its’ invieting and peacefull environment.

I look forward hear from you

Your faithfully,

Iraj

Task Response

The letter addresses the task requirements, covering what to do differently, issues from last year, and a meeting suggestion. However, the tone is slightly formal for a colleague, and some points could be more clearly linked to the overall purpose of co-arranging the party. To improve, focus on a more collaborative and less directive tone, and ensure all details directly relate to planning the party together.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally coherent, but the organization could be improved for better flow. Consider dedicating a paragraph to each of the points mentioned in the task instructions for clarity. Transition phrases could also be used more effectively to link ideas between paragraphs.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room to enhance it with more varied and precise word choices. For example, instead of 'great reward,' you could use 'significant bonus' or 'prestigious award.' Also, 'invieting' should be 'inviting' and 'peacefull' should be 'peaceful'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors that affect the clarity of the letter. For instance, 'arrangening' should be 'arranging,' and 'recieve' should be 'receive.' Also, the phrase 'I look forward hear from you' should be 'I look forward to hearing from you.' Pay close attention to verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, and correct spelling to improve accuracy.
