Task Response

6
The letter adequately covers the requirements of the task, explaining the surprise party, the need for help, and suggesting collaboration. However, there are some areas where it could be improved. For instance, providing more specific details about the type of decorations or the exact time you plan to arrive could enhance clarity. Additionally, refining the tone to be more consistently formal would elevate the letter's overall impact.

Coherence & Cohesion

5
The letter generally conveys the message, but the organization could be improved for better clarity. Consider structuring the letter with a clear introduction stating the purpose, followed by details about the surprise party and specific requests for help, and a concluding paragraph expressing gratitude and anticipation. Using more formal transitions between ideas would also enhance the flow.

Lexical Resource

5
The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room to enhance it with more varied and precise word choices. For example, instead of 'make she happy,' you could use 'bring her joy' or 'make her feel special.' Expanding your range of vocabulary will make your writing more engaging and effective. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

3
The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Focus on improving sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, and correct use of tenses. For example, 'We with Amy's friends want to make her a surprise' should be rephrased as 'Amy's friends and I want to plan a surprise for her.' Proofreading carefully and focusing on basic grammar rules will significantly improve accuracy.
