Dear Adeola,

How are you doing? It’s been along time since we last wrote to each other. I hope you are fine and enjoying your new workplace.

Amir will be turning 20 year on March 28th. As you know, 20 is a big number and it calls for a big celebration. I would like for us to organising a big event to celebrate it. You must not tell Amir, because you know he would say o. He thinks of birthdays as a stressful event, so it will have to be a suprise.

I know you’re also busy with work, so I’ll be doing most of the tedious part. I just need help in picking a place for the event, deciding who to invites and a birthday gift to get him. I have already confirmed from his girlfriend that he will be free on that day. All we need to do is throw the biggest birthday party for him.

If it is fine with you, could we meet up next week Saturday at M.K.O Abiola’s Garden to plan the event.

Best regards

Kolapo

Task Response

8
The letter appropriately addresses the task by explaining the party's purpose, requesting specific help, and suggesting a meeting time. The tone is suitable for a friend. To further enhance the response, consider adding more detail to the specific tasks, such as suggesting a budget or theme for the party. Also, proofread carefully to eliminate minor grammatical errors.

Coherence & Cohesion

7
The letter is generally well-organized and the purpose is clear. The request for help is specific and the suggestion for a meeting is appropriate. To improve coherence, consider adding transition phrases between paragraphs to better connect ideas. For example, you could use phrases like 'In addition to this' or 'Furthermore' to link the tasks you need help with. Also, ensure the tone remains consistent throughout the letter.

Lexical Resource

7
The vocabulary used is adequate for the task. To enhance lexical resource, try incorporating a wider range of vocabulary related to event planning and celebrations. For instance, instead of 'picking a place,' you could say 'securing a venue.' Also, vary your word choice to avoid repetition, such as using 'organize' instead of 'organising'. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

6
The letter demonstrates a good command of grammar, with only a few errors. Pay attention to verb tense consistency (e.g., 'organizing' should be 'organize') and subject-verb agreement. Also, ensure correct use of articles (e.g., 'a long time' should be 'a long time'). Proofreading carefully will help eliminate these minor errors.
