Dear Luis

I am writing this letter to offer on preparing a popular dessert in my country and I would also like to make this dish and introduce to other members because of how intensely creamy and sweet it is when eaten with caramel.

Leche flan is a traditional Filipino dessert from the Philippines and it is made from egg yolks, condensed milk, evaporated milk, and sugar. It is known for its smooth, creamy texture and sweet flavor with a hint of bitterness from the caramel that would instantly balance its sweetness. It is usually topped with caramel syrup, which gives it a beautiful golden appearance. This dessert is commonly served during special occasions, family gatherings, birthday parties, and celebrations.

Which is why I think leche flan should be included in the event because it represents a part of my culture and it brings happiness when it is shared with everyone. Introducing this dish would allow other members from different countries to experience a taste and learn more about our food culture. Its sweet and rich taste might encourage visitors to appreciate Filipino cuisine.

I would be delighted to prepare leche flan for everyone to enjoy. Thank you for considering my suggestion, and I am looking forward to hear your reply soon.

Respectfully,

Rie

Task Response

The letter fully addresses the task, offering to make a dish, describing it in detail, and explaining its inclusion. The tone is appropriate and the structure is clear. Minor lapses include a slightly informal opening ('I am writing this letter to offer on preparing') and a minor grammatical error ('looking forward to hear'). To achieve a higher score, ensure grammatical precision and a more formal register throughout.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is well-organized and easy to follow. The purpose is clearly stated in the opening, followed by a description of the dish, reasons for inclusion, and a polite closing. Paragraphing is logical, and cohesive devices are used effectively. To achieve a perfect score, ensure that the flow between paragraphs is even smoother, perhaps by using more varied linking phrases.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is appropriate and mostly precise, with good use of descriptive language (e.g., 'intensely creamy', 'smooth, creamy texture', 'beautiful golden appearance'). There is a good range of words related to food and culture. To reach a band 9, consider using more sophisticated and varied vocabulary, and avoid minor repetition (e.g., 'sweet' appears multiple times).

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures with only minor errors. For example, 'offer on preparing' should be 'offer to prepare', and 'introduce to other members' should be 'introduce it to other members'. Also, 'Which is why' at the start of a sentence is informal; consider using 'Therefore' or 'This is why'. The overall accuracy is high, but eliminating these small errors would make it flawless.
