Dear Pat,

Hi, how are you? I hope you doing well. In our last meet, you mentioned about your plan to do voluntary work at a festival, Im kinda interested about that, so, if you don’t mind, can I ask a couple of questions about the voluntary?

Fist of all, what kind of festival did you joined? It would be nice if its a music festival, because you already know that i like to attending a various of music festivals. Due to my college holiday that almost end, can you send me a details about the event’s place and time? I have to synchronize it with my day off. Furthermore, what did you do as a part of the voluntary work? I have an experience in the past as a ticketing staff on another festival. If the organisers are still looking for more volunteers, can you recommend me to your supervisor? Lastly, if it is possible to join, is there any requirements that I have to fulfill?

Thank you for your help. Im looking forward to further information from you!

Regards, Natasya

Task Response

The letter appropriately covers all requirements of the task, asking relevant questions about the festival, the friend's role, and volunteer opportunities. There are a few minor areas for improvement. For instance, the opening and closing could be slightly more natural and friendly. Also, while the questions are clear, varying the sentence structure could enhance the letter's flow. Overall, it's a well-written response.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally coherent and addresses all points in the task. However, the organization could be improved for better flow. Consider grouping related questions together and using more formal transitions between ideas. For example, you could start with general inquiries about the festival, then move to your interest in volunteering, and finally ask about the application process. Also, avoid conversational language such as 'Im kinda interested about that' in formal letters.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement in using more precise and varied language. For instance, instead of 'what kind of festival did you joined?', you could say 'what type of festival are you volunteering at?'. Also, try to use synonyms to avoid repetition, such as using 'roles' or 'responsibilities' instead of repeatedly using 'voluntary work'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, 'I hope you doing well' should be 'I hope you are doing well,' and 'what kind of festival did you joined?' should be 'what kind of festival did you join?'. Pay closer attention to verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, and correct use of prepositions. Proofreading carefully before submitting can help catch these errors.
