Dear Pingki,

I hope your doing well. I would like to thank you for your kindness because letting me stay at your house last weekend, and appreciated your hospitality. The meals that your prepared was delicious, and I really enjoy with your family.

Unfortunately, I realized after returning home that I had left my ID card behind. I can not participated to my office if I did not have my ID card. I believe I left it beside your bedside in the guest room or it is possible on the living room while we are watched a movie on Saturday night.

If you happen find it, would you mind to send it to me by courier? I would be happy to cover all the delivery costs. I am truly thankful for your help. Thanks again for your goodwill and assist. I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Best wishes,

Nabilah

Task Response

8
The letter addresses all three bullet points of the task effectively. The tone is appropriate for a letter to a friend, and the purpose of the letter is clear. To improve, ensure that the descriptions of the item and the location are slightly more precise, and pay closer attention to grammatical accuracy (e.g., subject-verb agreement and tense consistency), as minor errors in these areas can occasionally distract the reader, though they do not prevent the message from being understood.

Coherence & Cohesion

5
The letter follows the required structure and addresses all three bullet points from the task. However, the flow is occasionally interrupted by grammatical errors that force the reader to pause and re-read certain sentences to grasp the meaning. To improve, focus on using smoother transitions between ideas and ensuring that the relationship between sentences is clear through proper conjunctions and punctuation.

Lexical Resource

5
The vocabulary used is functional and sufficient to convey the basic message, but it lacks variety and contains several inaccuracies. For example, 'goodwill and assist' should be 'goodwill and assistance,' and 'participated to my office' is an unnatural phrasing. Aim to learn more collocations (words that naturally go together) and use a wider range of adjectives and nouns to express your ideas more precisely.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

3
There are frequent grammatical errors throughout the letter, particularly with verb tenses (e.g., 'your prepared' instead of 'you prepared', 'we are watched' instead of 'we were watching') and subject-verb agreement. There are also issues with word forms (e.g., 'your doing' instead of 'you're doing'). To improve, practice the distinction between past and present tenses and review the use of possessive adjectives versus contractions.
