Dearest Donny,

I am writing this letter to ask you some questions about Levi because you are his bestfriend. I want to planning about the surprise party for his birthday on 13nd September in Boom Hotel at 7pm.

I want to give him suprise party as sweet seventeen and ask some details to you about his likes or dislikes food, decorations will be suits for him, colour dress party, cake, someone will we invite to his birthday party and also I want you encourage to this surprise party and lie to bring him outside because if I bring him he would be suspicious about my acting and I never can to pretend to him.

I hope this letter will reach you and I wait for your response so I will give you the itinerary and you can add any plan to me and we can disscuss about anything to ensure that this event goes smoothly and never forget to him.

Faithfully

Task Response

The letter addresses the task requirements by explaining the surprise party, the reason for asking for help, and details about how the friend can assist. There are some minor grammatical errors and awkward phrasing, but overall the letter is clear and fulfills the prompt's requirements. To improve, focus on using more natural and precise language.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter's organization is somewhat unclear, and the flow of ideas could be improved. Consider using more explicit transitions between ideas to guide the reader. For example, clearly separate the explanation of the party, the reason for asking for help, and the specific tasks you need Donny to do. Paragraphing could be used more effectively to group related ideas together.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is generally adequate for the task, but there are opportunities to use more precise and varied language. For instance, instead of 'planning about,' you could say 'planning' or 'organizing.' Consider using synonyms to enhance the letter and demonstrate a wider range of vocabulary.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, 'I want to planning about' should be 'I am planning' or 'I want to plan.' Also, '13nd September' should be '13th September.' Pay close attention to verb tenses, prepositions, and article usage. Proofreading carefully before submitting can help catch these errors.
