Dear, My lovely neighbors

Me and my family has just moved here a week ago, and we felt that we haven’t get a long very well with our neighbors. With this, i will be hoping that throwing out a gathering would make a bond grow between us knowing we would live side by side ho fully for years!

I kindly invite you to come to a potluck dinner held on the 9 August 2025 at 5 PM in our lovely house backyard. You are welcomed to bring your culture dish as it would be very special to us to get to know your cultures! Thank you for your attention, hopefully we’ll see u soon.

From, the Andersons.

Task Response

The letter addresses all the requirements of the task, including the reason for the potluck, the date, time, and location, and the type of dish to bring. However, the tone could be more consistently formal for a letter to neighbors. To improve, consider elaborating slightly more on each point to make the invitation more appealing and welcoming. For example, you could mention specific types of dishes that would complement the meal or provide more details about the backyard setting. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally coherent, but the flow could be improved with better transitions between ideas. Consider using more formal connectors and structuring the letter into clearer paragraphs. For example, you could dedicate a paragraph to the reason for the potluck, another to the details of the event, and a final one to the dish request and closing remarks.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but it could be enhanced with more varied and precise word choices. For instance, instead of 'get a long very well,' you could use 'become better acquainted.' Also, consider replacing 'culture dish' with a more natural phrase like 'a dish that represents your culture' or 'a cultural dish.' Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors that affect the clarity of the letter. For example, 'Me and my family has just moved here' should be 'My family and I have just moved here.' Also, 'i will be hoping that throwing out a gathering would make a bond grow' could be improved to 'I am hoping that hosting a gathering will help us bond.' Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement, correct tense usage, and proper article usage to enhance grammatical accuracy.
