Dear Manager,

I want to have a surprise birthday party for my friend in your restaurant.

I would like to book a table on Saturday, November 9, at 6 p.m. for 15 people. Please, if you can, give us a big table in a quiet place.

We want some meat and vegetable food, some juice, and a birthday cake. If we can bring our own cake, please tell me.

Also, can you put some balloons and flowers for decoration?

Please write to me if this day and time are OK and how much it will cost.

Thank you!

Best wishes,

Kassie

Task Response

5
The letter addresses the task requirements by discussing the date, time, number of guests, seating, food, drinks, and decorations. However, it could benefit from more specific details regarding the food and drink preferences, and a clearer indication of who will provide the decorations if the restaurant cannot. Adding a touch of formality and expanding on the reasons for choosing the restaurant could further enhance the letter. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

5
The letter is generally coherent, but the organization could be improved for better flow. Consider grouping related requests together in separate paragraphs. For example, dedicate one paragraph to the date, time, and seating, another to food and drinks, and a final one to decorations and confirmation. This will make the letter easier to follow. Also, using more formal language and transition words would enhance the overall coherence.

Lexical Resource

5
The vocabulary used is simple and generally appropriate, but it could be enhanced with more specific and varied language. For example, instead of 'meat and vegetable food,' you could specify 'a selection of meat and vegetarian dishes.' Instead of 'put some balloons and flowers,' you could say 'provide balloon and floral decorations.' Using a wider range of vocabulary will make the letter sound more professional and precise. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

5
The letter contains grammatical errors and phrasing issues that affect clarity. For example, 'Please, if you can, give us a big table in a quiet place' could be rephrased as 'We would appreciate a large table in a quiet area, if possible.' Also, ensure correct punctuation and sentence structure throughout the letter. Proofreading carefully before submission can help identify and correct these errors.
