Hi Owen!

Thanks you for your e-mail. Oh wow! Yes, Ava´s so tall!! I’m glad that you all enjoyed my last visit. You and your family are all wonderful people, I´m so excited to see you again!

Okay, I’ll give you my flight information. My flight number is “FR8721”, it will arrive 14 July at 12:40. My return flight number is “FR8722”, it´s departing 11 August at 14:10.

Answering your question, I prefer to share the room with that student, maybe we could become friends!. And this time, I´m so excited to go to see Loch Ness and take the Harry Potter tour!!.

Can you tell me about other activities that we could do in Edinburgh??

Well, thanks you for all, Owen.

Best wishes

Sacha.

Task Response

The letter fully satisfies all the requirements of the task. You have successfully thanked the recipient, included a warm comment about his family, provided specific flight details, answered the questions regarding your stay, and ended with a relevant question. The tone is appropriately informal and friendly, matching the context of a letter to a friend. To further improve, ensure minor grammatical consistency (e.g., 'Thank you' instead of 'Thanks you'), but overall, the task achievement is excellent. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is logically organized, and the progression of ideas follows the task requirements well. Each paragraph addresses a specific bullet point from the prompt. However, the transitions between sentences are somewhat abrupt. To improve, try using more sophisticated cohesive devices or linking words to create a smoother flow between the flight details and the answers to his questions.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is appropriate for an informal letter to a friend. You used some good expressive language like 'so excited.' To reach a higher band, aim for more varied and natural collocations. For example, instead of 'give you my flight information,' you could say 'provide you with my flight details.' Also, be careful with repetitive phrasing. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors that prevent a higher score. Specifically, 'Thanks you' should be 'Thank you' or 'Thanks.' There are also issues with preposition usage, such as 'arrive 14 July' instead of 'arrive on 14 July.' Additionally, there are some punctuation errors, such as using double exclamation marks, which is slightly too informal for a standard exam, and some minor comma splices. Focus on mastering prepositions of time and subject-verb agreement.
