Dear Luis,

I hope your week is going well.

I am writing this letter since I would like offer to make a traditional testy food from my country. If you remember, I’m from Slavic country and we have a lot of different dishes with different ingrediencies, but one is my favorable.

I believe that so important include some desert and I have one traditional receipt from my grandmother and honestly, she got it from her grandmother. The desert will include just organic product and of course with honey from my home city. I have one tense memory about how we cooked first time it is the desert with my nuclear family, particularly with grandmom and young sibling.

How I written before, it will be with honey and look like medium cake and one surprise it will be include a little coffee. I strongly believe that you never didn’t see something similar before. I will be really glad to see my desert in an international student’s club.

Please do not hesitate to contact if you have any question. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you.

Yours sincerely.

Task Response

The letter addresses the task requirements by offering to make a dish, describing it, and explaining why it should be included. There are some minor lapses in providing specific details about the dish and its cultural significance. To improve, provide more specific details about the dish, its ingredients, and its cultural importance.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter's organization is somewhat unclear, and the flow of ideas could be improved. Consider using more explicit transitions between your offer, description, and justification. For example, you could start with a clear statement of your offer, then dedicate a paragraph to describing the dish, and another to explaining why it's suitable for the event. Also, ensure each paragraph focuses on a single main idea to enhance clarity.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is generally adequate for the task, but there are instances where more precise word choices could enhance the letter. For example, instead of 'testy food,' you could use 'traditional dish' or 'local cuisine.' Also, try to vary your vocabulary to avoid repetition (e.g., using synonyms for 'include').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Pay close attention to verb tense consistency, subject-verb agreement, and correct article usage. For example, 'I would like offer' should be 'I would like to offer,' and 'didn't see' should be 'have never seen.' Review basic grammar rules and proofread carefully to minimize these errors.
