Hi Lucía,

I am recently moved into a new house. I would like to invite you to a my housewarming party. If you want, you can invite to Matías. We would love to see you there.

My new house is located in Rosario, 19 Córdoba Street. I will send location to WhatsApp. My new neighbourhood is so quiet, and my neighbours are so fun. They are invited to the party, too.

We are planning to do a barbecue in the garden, it’s my favorite part of the new house!!! Also, we can swimming in the pool. My house is super big: it has four bedrooms so if you want, can you sleep here.

The celebration will start at 12PM. The day 6th of July. Please you should bring some drinks and be ready to have fun! This will be the best party ever!

I really hope you can come.

Lots of love,

Cami

Task Response

The letter addresses all parts of the task requirements. You have clearly stated the location, identified your favorite part of the house, and provided the necessary party details (date, time, and what to bring). The tone is appropriately informal and friendly for a letter to a friend. To improve, ensure better grammatical accuracy in sentence structures (e.g., 'I have recently moved' instead of 'I am recently moved', and 'we can go swimming' instead of 'we can swimming') and refine the phrasing of certain sentences to sound more natural. However, in terms of task achievement, all requirements were met sufficiently.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter follows a logical progression and addresses all parts of the prompt. However, the transitions between sentences are somewhat abrupt, and the paragraphing, while present, could be more fluid. To improve, try using more cohesive devices (e.g., 'As for the location...', 'Regarding the party details...') to link your ideas more naturally rather than using short, staccato sentences.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate for an informal letter to a friend, and the tone is friendly. However, there is some repetition and a lack of sophisticated word choices. For example, instead of saying 'so fun' or 'super big,' you could use more descriptive adjectives like 'lively,' 'vibrant,' 'spacious,' or 'extensive.' Be careful with word combinations, such as 'invite to Matías,' which should simply be 'invite Matías.' Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors that occasionally hinder the flow of reading. Common issues include verb tense errors (e.g., 'I am recently moved' instead of 'I have recently moved'), incorrect preposition usage, and sentence structure issues (e.g., 'The day 6th of July' is a fragment). Additionally, watch out for modal verb usage and infinitive forms, such as 'we can swimming' which should be 'we can swim.' Working on subject-verb agreement and sentence complexity will help raise this score.
