Dear Sir or Madam,

Good morning. I hope you are doing well. I am writing to you to requst a reservation for a private room as I am interested in holding a surprise birthday party in your resturant next Monday.

My friend is coming back to the country after straight five years just a week before her birthday. She is a very close friend of mine, which is the reason why her birthday is a special day for both of us. The purpose of reserving a private room in your resturant is that she really enjoys the food here, as well as the environment of the resturant is cosy. Since she likes to keep her life private, I want to celebrate her special day privately, which is why I want to book a private room. Since only a few of her friends know about her birthday, I would like to give her a surprise. I want her to remember this party forever.

I would like to reserve the room for next Monday, dated 24 November, around 11 in the morning. Since this is a small surprise party, the total number of the guests will be 12 people only, including friends and family members.

Due to my budget constrain, I need to be careful with the expenses. Would you please share the details of the menu that will be available on that day? Also, could you please mention the prices?

I am looking forward to your response. Thank you so much for your consideration.

Best regards,

Yousha

Task Response

8
The letter appropriately covers all requirements of the task, providing relevant and sufficient information regarding the surprise party, date, time, number of guests, and inquiries about the menu and pricing. The purpose of the party and the surprise element are well-explained. A few minor lapses, such as the slightly informal tone in places, do not significantly detract from the overall quality. To improve, ensure a consistently formal tone throughout the letter and proofread carefully for minor grammatical errors.

Coherence & Cohesion

7
The letter is generally well-organized and the purpose is clear. However, some sentences could be more concise to improve flow. For example, the second paragraph contains some repetitive explanations that could be streamlined. Consider using transitional phrases to connect ideas more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

6
The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement by using more varied and precise language. For instance, instead of repeatedly using 'special' or 'private,' try to incorporate synonyms or more descriptive words to enhance the impact. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

7
The letter demonstrates a good command of grammar, though there are a few errors that need attention. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement, correct tense usage, and article usage. Proofreading carefully before submission can help catch these errors.
