Dear Ali,

I hope this letter finds you in best of your health. I’m writing this letter to ask you for a favor. As you know, Abdullah’s birthday is on 23rd of this month and I wanted to plan a surprise birthday party for him. He has been feeling down for a while now and I’m hoping this will help him to feel better. You are the closest friend that he has since childhood. So, I was hoping you could help me in arranging that surprise party.

I’m planning to have this party on the night of 23rd when he will be back from university. And i want you to be at my home in the morning. If you can, try to be here by 9 o’clock. I just need you to bring the cake and some stuff for the decorations and also invite some of his friends.

I will really appreciate your help in all this. And I’m sure, with your help we will plan a great surprise. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Warm regards,

Tooba Tariq.

Task Response

7
The letter appropriately covers all requirements of the task, providing relevant details about the surprise party, its timing, and the specific help needed from Ali. While the letter is well-written and clear, it could benefit from a slightly more formal tone and more specific details regarding the decorations and friends to invite. For example, mentioning a specific theme or a list of friends would enhance the letter.

Coherence & Cohesion

6
The letter is generally well-organized and the purpose is clear. The progression of ideas is logical. However, consider using more varied cohesive devices to enhance the flow between sentences and paragraphs. For example, in the second paragraph, you could use transition words to connect the ideas about the party date and the request for Ali to come in the morning.

Lexical Resource

6
The vocabulary used is appropriate for the task. To further enhance your lexical resource, try incorporating more specific and descriptive words related to party planning and emotional support. For example, instead of 'some stuff for the decorations,' you could list specific items like 'balloons, streamers, and banners.' Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

5
The letter demonstrates a good command of grammar, with only minor errors. Pay attention to punctuation, especially capitalization (e.g., 'I' in the second paragraph). Also, ensure correct subject-verb agreement and consistent tense usage throughout the letter. Reviewing common grammatical errors and proofreading carefully can help improve accuracy.
