Task Response

The letter addresses the main requirements of the task, but there are several issues that detract from its effectiveness. The reason for the party is mentioned, but the focus is more on a promotion than on the new apartment, which is the primary reason. The date, time, and location are provided, but the address is vague ('near city school') and lacks specific details. The request for what to bring is not clearly stated; instead, the letter describes what the host has arranged. The tone is informal and somewhat disorganized, with grammatical errors and awkward phrasing that affect clarity. To improve, ensure the letter clearly states the purpose (celebrating the new apartment), provides a full address, and explicitly invites the colleague to bring something (e.g., a dish or a game) or simply themselves. Also, use a more structured format with clear paragraphs and correct grammar and punctuation.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter has a basic structure with an introduction, body, and conclusion, but the flow is often disrupted by unclear references and abrupt transitions. The use of cohesive devices is limited and sometimes inaccurate (e.g., 'Firstly', 'Secondly', 'Finally' are used but not consistently linked to the content). The message is not always easy to follow due to missing logical connections between ideas. To improve, use clearer paragraphing and ensure each paragraph has a central topic with smooth transitions between them.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is limited and repetitive, with some inappropriate word choices (e.g., 'keep a party', 'arranged all system for audience', 'adjust sound system'). There is an attempt to use a range of expressions, but accuracy and naturalness are lacking. To improve, expand your vocabulary for social invitations and use more precise and idiomatic language. For example, use 'host a party', 'set up the sound system', and 'provide a variety of dishes and drinks'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains numerous grammatical errors, including subject-verb agreement ('I keep a enjoyable party'), incorrect verb forms ('I decide I feel very happy'), and issues with articles and prepositions ('in my new apartment for party', 'on sunday at 7:00pm'). Punctuation is also inconsistent (e.g., missing commas, incorrect capitalization). These errors significantly affect clarity. To improve, focus on basic sentence structures, ensure subject-verb agreement, and proofread for common mistakes. Practice using a variety of sentence structures with accurate grammar.
