Task Response

The letter addresses all the requirements of the task, including the reason for the dinner, the time and location, the dress code, and the gift contribution. However, the tone is slightly informal for a workplace communication, and the organization could be improved for better clarity. To improve, consider using a more formal tone and structuring the letter with clear paragraphs for each point.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter's organization is somewhat unclear, and the flow of ideas could be improved. Consider using more explicit transitions between ideas to guide the reader. For example, when transitioning from the reason for the dinner to the details, a phrase like 'To celebrate Mark's contributions and wish him well...' would help. Additionally, paragraphing could be used more effectively to separate distinct topics, such as the reason for the dinner, the details of the event, and the gift contribution.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is generally simple and could be enhanced with more varied and sophisticated word choices. For instance, instead of 'very good in work,' you could say 'highly competent' or 'a valuable asset.' Similarly, 'chip in' could be replaced with 'contribute' for a more formal tone. Expanding your range of vocabulary will make your writing more engaging and precise.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Focus on improving sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, and the correct use of articles and prepositions. For example, 'organizing dinner' should be 'organize a dinner,' and 'face our company' could be 'the face of our company.' Proofreading carefully and focusing on basic grammar rules will help improve accuracy.
