Dear Sarah,

I hope you are doing well. I am writing a letter to invite you to a small dinner party that I am hosting at my house next Saturday evening.

The dinner is being organized to welcome a new member of our social circle, Reyshelyn. She recently moved to our neighborhood and has quickly become friends with several people in our group. She is friendly, outgoing, and enjoys meeting new people, so I thought it would be a great opportunity for everyone to get acquainted.

The party will be held on Saturday, 15th August, at 7:00 p.m. at my home. I am planning a relaxed evening with variety of food, conversation, and a few fun activities. I’m sure you would enjoy meeting Reyshelyn and spending time with the rest of the group.

As for the menu, I intend to serve both vegetarian and non vegetarian dishes. However, I remember that you are not allowed to eat seafood due to an allergy. Please let me know if you have any other dietary requirements so that I can make suitable arrangements.

I would be delighted if you could come. Please let me know by Wednesday whether you will be able to attend.

Looking forward to seeing you.

Best wishes,

Jackie

Task Response

9
The letter fully addresses all parts of the task. The candidate provides clear information about the new person, specifies the date and time of the event, and proactively asks about dietary requirements while demonstrating personal knowledge of the recipient's needs. The tone is appropriately informal and friendly, consistent with a letter to a friend. No improvements are necessary as the requirements are satisfied comprehensively.

Coherence & Cohesion

9
The letter is exceptionally well-organized. Each bullet point from the task is addressed in its own logical paragraph, making the flow of information effortless for the reader. The transitions between sentences are natural, and the paragraphing is skillful.

Lexical Resource

9
The vocabulary used is appropriate, natural, and sophisticated for an informal letter to a friend. Phrases such as 'get acquainted,' 'suitable arrangements,' and 'social circle' demonstrate a high level of lexical control. There is a good variety of word choices that prevent repetition.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

9
The grammatical structures are varied and used with a high degree of accuracy. You successfully use a mix of complex and simple sentences. There are only very minor omissions (such as 'a variety of food' instead of 'variety of food'), but these do not impede communication and are typical of high-level natural writing. The punctuation is used correctly throughout.
