Dear Grandmother,

Hope you are well and taking your medicines on time. My purpose of writing this letter is to to inform you about my busy schedule. First of all I am really sorry, it has been a long time since we have talked. Actually there was my Final exams going on. That’s why it was too difficult for me to manage my timings in academics and my job.

I am glad to inform you that i have been graduated recently with very good scores and also got a scholarship from my college in achieving the highest numbers in the all over subjects. So I am planning to took a visit there by next month. I am so exited to see you. I also missed you so much and now this long distance talks are going to be over.

Take care,

Parminder Singh

Task Response

6
The letter addresses all parts of the task, including an apology, explanation for being busy, and arranging a visit. However, the explanation of why you were busy could be more detailed. For example, you could mention specific aspects of your studies or job that consumed your time. Also, the arrangement for a visit is vague ('next month'). Providing a specific date or suggesting a few options would make the arrangement clearer and more effective. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

5
The letter is generally coherent, but the organization could be improved. Consider structuring the letter with a clearer introduction, body, and conclusion. Transitions between ideas could also be smoother to enhance the flow.

Lexical Resource

5
The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room to use more varied and precise language. For example, instead of 'took a visit,' you could say 'plan to visit.' Expanding your range of vocabulary will make your writing more engaging. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

4
The letter contains grammatical errors that affect clarity. For instance, 'My purpose of writing this letter is to to inform you' should be 'The purpose of this letter is to inform you.' Also, 'I am planning to took a visit there' should be 'I am planning to visit.' Proofreading carefully for these types of errors will improve your score.
