Dear Louis,

I hope everything’s going well with you, i owe you an apology for canceling my plan to go to the cinema with you next Saturday evening. I know it would make you dissapointed to me, but please let me tell you why i needed to change my plan.

Actually, right now i’m kinda busy because my parents’s bussines need me to take over their roles for several time later. Additionaly unfortunately right now my bussines face with a number of problems so it would be hard to leave this job even for a while.

On top of that, it is better if i give the ticket to my sister, Lulu, so that you can go with her. Before you’ve ever met her and i think you will have a good connected with her.

I believe that lulu would be a good partner for watching this movie because she is huge movie buff same as you, beside she is friendly, she also has a good humor

Drop me a line when you can, give my love to your family.

Best wishes,

Andi Nurul Rahmah Hamsah

Task Response

7
The letter covers the main requirements: apologizing, explaining why you can't go, and suggesting an alternative friend. However, there are some omissions and lapses. The explanation about the business is a bit unclear and could be more concise. The letter also lacks a clear request for confirmation that the friend is okay with the change. To improve, ensure the purpose is clearly stated at the beginning, provide a clearer reason, and explicitly ask if the friend agrees to go with the sister.

Coherence & Cohesion

5
The letter has a logical structure but the flow is disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear connections between ideas. Paragraphing is present but could be improved. Use clearer linking words and ensure each paragraph has a single clear focus.

Lexical Resource

5
Vocabulary is adequate but limited and sometimes inaccurate (e.g., 'dissapointed to me', 'good connected', 'huge movie buff'). There is some attempt at variety but it lacks naturalness and sophistication. Expand your range and use collocations correctly.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

3
There are frequent grammatical errors (e.g., 'i owe', 'parents's bussines', 'face with', 'you will have a good connected'). Sentence structures are mostly simple and repetitive. Work on subject-verb agreement, possessive forms, and using a mix of simple and complex sentences accurately.
