Task Response

The letter addresses all the requirements of the task, including the reason for the party, details of the venue, date, and time, and a request for contributions. However, there are some minor lapses in formality and organization. To improve, focus on using more formal language and structuring the letter into clear paragraphs. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter's organization is weak, and the flow of information is disjointed. The introduction is generic and doesn't immediately establish the purpose of the letter. The details about the party and the request for contributions are present but not clearly structured. Paragraphing is absent, making it difficult to follow the message. To improve coherence, start with a clear statement of purpose, organize the details logically (reason, venue/time, contribution), and use paragraphing to separate ideas. Transition words can also help to connect sentences and ideas more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and somewhat repetitive. Phrases like 'How are you doing today' and 'I hope you are doing well' are conversational but not particularly effective in a formal invitation. The range of vocabulary is limited, and there's a lack of precise language to convey the details of the party and the expectations for contributions. To enhance lexical resource, try to use more specific and varied vocabulary related to invitations, parties, and farewells. For example, instead of 'bring something,' you could suggest 'contribute refreshments' or 'bring a dish to share.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains numerous grammatical errors, including incorrect verb tenses ('attend to our party'), subject-verb agreement issues, and awkward phrasing ('I massaged him not too long'). Punctuation is also inconsistent. These errors significantly affect the clarity and readability of the letter. To improve grammatical accuracy, focus on using correct verb tenses, ensuring subject-verb agreement, and using proper sentence structure. Proofreading carefully for errors in punctuation and spelling is also essential.
