My dear new neighbours,

I am happy to invite you to a special party for me. I plan this party to celebrate moving into my new home. I consider that it is an opportunity to meet and to know each other better.

Mark in our calendars, 21th November, at 14:00. I am going to organise the event at my new house on street Ion Creangă 9/7a. During our time together, we will explore our life and plan our future activities together.

I would like to prepare many different types of food: salads, hot potatoes with chicken and other different dishes. We will have jelly and cake for dessert. If you have any preferences, let me know or prepare them yourself.

I will be very happy to see you with me and spend a nice time together. If you come, please write or call me to know. I am looking forward to seeing you.

With respect, Alexandra.

Task Response

The letter adequately covers the task requirements, including the reason for the party, details of the event, and information about food and entertainment. However, the tone is slightly informal for a letter to new neighbors, and some sentences could be phrased more naturally. To improve, focus on using more formal language and structuring the information in a clearer, more organized manner.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally coherent, but the organization could be improved. Consider dedicating a paragraph to each of the points mentioned in the task instructions (reason for the party, details of the event, food and entertainment). The transition between discussing the party details and suggesting future activities feels a bit disjointed. Using more transitional phrases would improve the flow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but it could be more varied and natural. For example, instead of 'Mark in our calendars,' you could say 'Please save the date.' Instead of 'explore our life,' consider a phrase like 'share stories and get to know each other better.' Using more specific and engaging language would enhance the letter. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, '21th November' should be '21st November.' The sentence 'I consider that it is an opportunity...' could be rephrased as 'I see it as an opportunity...' or 'This is a great opportunity...' Also, the phrase 'If you come, please write or call me to know' is a bit awkward; consider 'Please let me know if you can make it.' Proofreading carefully for these types of errors will improve your score.
