Dear Hailey,

I hope this message finds you in a good health. Actually, I have arranged a surprise birthday party for my mother. So I thought to invite you as you’re one of my mother’s best friend.

I want to throw a grand surprise birthday party for my mother as this is her 50th birthday. I will be inviting all of my relatives and her close friends, so how can I forgot you? I really want to make this celebration most memorable as this is going to be her golden jubile.

I was wondering if you could help me with some scrumptious dishes which I can serve at the party. You can suggest welcome drinks, main course, and delicious desserts as well. Moreover, I was planning to arrange a particular theme for the party. Please do suggest some options as you know her choice since many years.

The party will be in the cozy and aesthetic venue of Cafe Bia. I have already booked a party lounge with the capacity of a hundred people. In addition, I’m planning to held it on upcoming Tuesday after 7 pm as it will be convenient for everyone.

Please do let me know if you require any help from my side and come soon. It won’t be the same without you.

With love,

Jenny

Task Response

The letter comprehensively addresses all aspects of the task, providing a clear explanation of the surprise party, suggesting specific ways the friend can help, and detailing the date, time, and venue. The tone is appropriately friendly and engaging. Occasional omissions or lapses are acceptable.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally well-organized and easy to follow. The purpose of the letter is clear from the beginning, and the information is presented in a logical order. However, there are a few areas where the coherence could be improved. For example, the transition between explaining the party and asking for help could be smoother. Consider using more transitional phrases to connect your ideas and ensure a seamless flow.

Lexical Resource

The letter demonstrates a good range of vocabulary, with some attempts at using more sophisticated language. Words like 'scrumptious,' 'aesthetic,' and 'golden jubilee' add interest. However, there are instances where the word choice could be more precise or natural. For example, consider alternative ways to express 'how can I forgot you?' to sound more idiomatic. Continue to expand your vocabulary and focus on using words in their correct context. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter demonstrates a reasonable command of grammar, with a mix of simple and complex sentences. However, there are some grammatical errors and awkward phrasing that affect the overall clarity. For example, 'finds you in a good health' should be 'finds you in good health,' and 'I'm planning to held it' should be 'I'm planning to hold it.' Pay close attention to verb tenses, prepositions, and subject-verb agreement. Proofreading carefully will help you identify and correct these errors.
