Dear Mia,

Hi, I hope you’re doing well. I’m writing this letter is about our planned for weekend gateaway has to cancel. I got a news from my mother that I had to look after the house because that day my parents would be going out of town to attend their nephew’s wedding.

I apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment I have caused, as this was beyond my predictions. I wasn’t informed about this in advance, so I thought there wouldn’t be any problem.

Therefore I have a plan what if we go on first weekend of next month, I’ll make sure on that day there will be no more disturbances. But if you can’t be on that day, we can change our plan to a sleepover at my house. We can bake, watch a movie, and spend time together because we haven’t seen each other for a long time.

Hope you understand. Catch you later!

Warm hugs,

Jingga Savira

The tone is suitable for a friendly letter. To further enhance the response, consider adding more specific details to enrich the explanation and suggestions.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally coherent, but the opening could be more directly related to the main topic. The explanation for the cancellation is clear, but the transition to the alternative suggestions could be smoother. Consider using transitional phrases to link ideas more effectively. For example, you could add a sentence before suggesting alternative dates to soften the impact of the cancellation.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement in using more varied and precise language. For instance, instead of 'going out of town,' you could use 'traveling out of town.' Also, consider using stronger synonyms for words like 'disturbances' to enhance the impact of your message. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.
