Hi Mel,

I hope you’re doing well. I’m writing to hear your thoughts or plans for our best friend, Liz as her birthday is approaching very soon. I think it would be nice if we could throw her a surprise party together. I’d like to suggest pretending we both forgot her birthday, and then set the celebration up at her mum’s place. For the party, we will need to order a birthday cake, some purple flowers, as it is her favourite colour, and some balloons. Since Liz is vegan, I’m currently making a list of vegan-friendly restaurants where we can place the food orders in advance. I will share them with you once done. If you agree to this, we can delegate the preparation tasks. For instance, I can handle the cake, and food orders as well as contact her mum to arrange this while you help prepare gorgeous flowers and fancy balloons. Let me know your thoughts, and we can plan the rest from there.

With Love,

Jin

Task Response

8
The letter appropriately addresses all parts of the task, clearly explaining the purpose, detailing the required help, and suggesting a collaborative approach. The ideas are relevant and sufficiently developed. To improve, consider adding more specific details about the tasks and perhaps a timeline for preparation to make the collaboration even clearer.

Coherence & Cohesion

7
The letter is generally well-organized and easy to follow. The purpose of the letter is clear from the beginning, and the suggestions are presented logically. To improve coherence, consider adding more transitional phrases to smoothly connect ideas between paragraphs. For example, you could use phrases like 'In addition to this' or 'Furthermore' to link related points.

Lexical Resource

7
The vocabulary used is appropriate and conveys the message effectively. There's a good use of everyday language suitable for a friendly letter. To enhance the lexical resource, try incorporating a wider range of synonyms and more descriptive language. For instance, instead of 'nice,' you could use 'wonderful' or 'memorable.' Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

7
The letter demonstrates a good command of grammar with only minor errors. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and correct tense usage. For example, review sentences for any instances where the verb form might not match the subject. Also, ensure that punctuation is accurate throughout the letter to enhance clarity.
