Dear Team

I hope this message finds you well. As you may know, our dear colleague, sophia will soon be leaving us for a new job. To bid him a proper farewell, I have decided to organize a small party, and I would like to invite all of you to join in the celebration.

The farewell party will take place on friday, november 3rd, at 5:30 PM. We will gather at the rooftop terrace of our office building, which provides a lovely view of the city and will be the perfect setting for this occasion.

To make the evening special, I would appreciate you to come. I would like each of you to bring a dish that represents your culinary skills, along with a drink of your choice, make it soft drinks or something a little stronger if you prefer. Additionally, if you could contribute a small gift for sophie, something meaningful would be nice.

Please let me know if you can make it and what you plan to bring as soon as possible, so we can finalize the arrangements. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Best regards, Maryam

Task Response

8
The letter addresses all parts of the task effectively. The date, time, location, and contribution requirements are clearly stated. The tone is appropriate for a message to colleagues. However, there are some minor inconsistencies in the content: the colleague's name changes from 'sophia' to 'sophie', and the gender pronoun shifts from 'him' to 'sophie' (which is typically female), which slightly affects the internal consistency of the response. To improve, ensure that names and pronouns remain consistent throughout the text and pay closer attention to capitalization (e.g., 'Sophia', 'Friday', 'November').

Coherence & Cohesion

8
The letter is very well-organized and follows a logical progression. Each bullet point from the task is addressed in its own clear paragraph, making the message easy to follow. To reach a higher score, ensure that transitions between sentences are even more seamless, though the current flow is very natural for an informal/semi-formal office email.

Lexical Resource

7
You have used a good range of vocabulary appropriate for the context, such as 'bid him a proper farewell', 'culinary skills', and 'finalize the arrangements'. However, there are some inconsistencies with capitalization (e.g., 'sophia', 'friday', 'november') and a pronoun error ('bid him' when referring to 'sophia'). Ensuring consistent capitalization of proper nouns is essential for a professional appearance.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

6
The grammatical structures are generally good, with a mix of simple and complex sentences. There are a few minor errors: the use of 'I would appreciate you to come' is slightly awkward (it would be more natural to say 'I would appreciate your presence' or 'I would love for you to come'), and there is a comma splice in the third paragraph ('...of your choice, make it soft drinks...'). Using a semicolon or starting a new sentence would correct this. Additionally, pay close attention to gender consistency (Sophia/him/sophie).
