Task Response

The letter addresses the task by explaining the inability to attend and suggesting an alternative friend. However, there are several inaccuracies and irrelevant details (e.g., describing Mira's qualities). The tone is somewhat apologetic but lacks clarity in places. To improve, focus on the key points: clearly state you cannot go, provide a brief reason, and introduce the replacement friend without extra details. Also, correct spelling and grammar errors.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter has a logical structure but the flow is disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear connections between ideas. Consider using clearer topic sentences and linking words to improve coherence. For example, start with a clear apology, then explain the reason, and finally introduce the alternative friend.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is limited and contains errors (e.g., 'healty', 'disampointed', 'accommpany'). Some phrases are informal or inappropriate (e.g., 'miss the boat'). Work on expanding your vocabulary and using more precise and natural expressions. For instance, use 'disappointed' instead of 'disampointed' and 'accompany' instead of 'accommpany'. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are frequent grammatical errors (e.g., 'I hope you are not be disampointed', 'lets me to try explain', 'my english teacher suddenly change'). Sentence structures are often incorrect or incomplete. Focus on basic grammar rules such as subject-verb agreement, correct verb forms, and proper use of articles. Practice writing simple, correct sentences before attempting complex ones.
