Dear Samara,

I hope you are doing splendidly. I am writing to invite you to a grand House-warming party with your family. I am moving to a luxurious new house, on the King street, behind KFC, at Mangalore, as I am facing many challenges to move to my work place from my former establishment, because its 20 km far from the school were I work.

We have planned to celebrate this vibrant grandeur on 25th of july. It had to be conducted 5 days earlier, due to lack of some of the finishings at the corridor, I had to extend the date. So I want you to be present by sharp 8:30 am, at my new residence, because the beautiful function will be started by 9’o clock in the morning.

I am thinking of offering a catering service to all the invited guest, and the menu will include the special motton shuwa with Briyani rice, the delicious chiken filled parathas, your favorite pizzas and frech fries. and I have ordered cold beverages, like green apple mojitoe and fresh lemonade with butter milk.

Please let me know if you can make it with the timings. So that I can finalise the headcounts of food and drinks.

Task Response

The letter addresses all three bullet points required by the task. The candidate provides a reason for moving, location details, the date/time, and a description of the food and drinks. However, the response is slightly inconsistent in tone and logic. For example, a housewarming party starting at 9:00 AM is unusual, and the explanation regarding the delay due to 'finishings at the corridor' feels somewhat unnatural for an invitation. To improve, ensure the tone remains consistent (the transition from 'splendidly' to very specific logistical complaints is a bit jarring) and focus on making the details sound more socially appropriate for the context of a party. Additionally, ensure that the relationship with a 'former colleague' is reflected in a balanced level of formality.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter follows the required structure and addresses all bullet points, but the flow of ideas is often interrupted by awkward phrasing and run-on sentences. For example, the explanation regarding the move and the change in date is somewhat convoluted. To improve, use clearer transition words and ensure that each sentence focuses on one main idea to help the reader follow your logic more easily.

Lexical Resource

You have attempted to use some sophisticated vocabulary (e.g., 'splendidly', 'vibrant grandeur', 'luxurious'), which is good. However, there are several spelling errors (e.g., 'motton', 'chiken', 'frech', 'mojitoe') and some word choices are unnatural in this context (e.g., 'conducted' for a party or 'finishings at the corridor'). Focus on learning common collocations and double-check the spelling of food items to ensure accuracy.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and sometimes impede communication. There are issues with article usage (e.g., 'on the King street'), preposition errors, and sentence structure (e.g., 'because its 20 km far from the school were I work'). There are also punctuation errors, such as using an apostrophe in '9'o clock' instead of '9 o'clock'. Work on mastering basic sentence structures, subject-verb agreement, and the correct use of relative clauses to improve your accuracy.
