Dear John,

I hope you have a wonderful day today, I’m really sorry that I can’t join you to the cinema. I can’t wait to watch a movie at the cinema with you, but let me you the reason why I can’t go with you.

Firstly, Unfortunately, I’m in the hospital right now because I got accident yesterday on my way home while riding bike. A random bike hit me from behind, and made me fall down. It’s injured my right leg, and I can’t even stand normally.

However, I have a plan to give this ticket to my brother, Dibu. It seems the connection between both of you are closer since the first time you met. I would be so happy if you accept my offer.

As you see, Dibu is an active person that suited with your personality. I totally believe that both of you will have a wonderful time at the cinema. As I remembered he enjoyed eating sushi same as you. It would be fun if you and him enable to go to the sushi restaurant together after watching the cinema. Please take care of my brother, he’s out of control sometimes.

I hope my leg is better soon, so we can meet again.

Best wishes,

Budi

Task Response

The letter appropriately addresses all parts of the task, providing a clear explanation for the change of plans and a suitable alternative. The reasons are logical and the recommendation is well-justified. To further enhance the response, consider elaborating slightly more on why the writer believes the suggested friend would be a good companion, adding more specific details or anecdotes.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally coherent, but there are some areas where the flow could be improved. The opening is a bit repetitive ('I can't join you to the cinema. I can't wait to watch a movie at the cinema with you'). Try to vary your sentence structure and avoid repeating phrases too closely. The paragraphing is adequate, but consider breaking up longer paragraphs for better readability. Transition words could be used more effectively to link ideas.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is generally appropriate, but there are opportunities to use more precise and varied language. For example, instead of 'made me fall down,' you could say 'caused me to fall' or 'resulted in me falling.' While the vocabulary is adequate for conveying the message, expanding your range would enhance the letter.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors that affect the clarity of the letter. Some examples include: 'let me you the reason' should be 'let me tell you the reason,' 'It's injured my right leg' should be 'It has injured my right leg' or 'My right leg is injured,' and 'suited with your personality' should be 'suits your personality' or 'is suited to your personality.' Pay close attention to verb tense consistency and subject-verb agreement. Proofreading carefully for these types of errors will improve your accuracy.
