Dear Ravi,

How are you? I hope you are fine. I am writing this letter to invite you to my housewarming party. We did not meet for a long time.

I am moving to a new house. My new house is near Green Valley Residency, close to the city park. I will send the address to you, so you can find it easily.

The party will be on Sunday, 12th July at 5:00 p.m. My family and friends are coming. I will be very happy if you come to my new house.

You no need to buy any expensive gift. You can bring some sweets or snacks if you want. We will eat together, listen music and enjoy the party. I think you will have a good time.

Please come to my house. I am waiting for your reply.

Yours lovingly,

Sandy

Task Response

The letter fully addresses all parts of the task. The location, timing, and expectations/contributions are clearly and appropriately described. The tone is consistent with an invitation to a former colleague with whom the writer seems to have a friendly relationship. To further enhance the quality, you could use more varied sentence structures and more sophisticated vocabulary (e.g., instead of 'You no need to buy,' use 'There is no need to bring'), but in terms of task achievement, the requirements are perfectly met. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter follows a logical structure and addresses all parts of the prompt. However, the transitions between sentences are somewhat abrupt, making the flow feel a bit 'choppy.' To improve, try using more cohesive devices and linking words (e.g., 'Since we haven't seen each other in a while...' or 'Regarding the location, it is...') to connect your ideas more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and clear, but it is quite basic. To reach a higher band, aim to use more varied and sophisticated word choices. For example, instead of saying 'I will be very happy if you come,' you could say 'It would be a pleasure to have you there' or 'Your presence would make the occasion even more special.' Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical inaccuracies that affect the natural flow of the letter. Specifically, 'We did not meet for a long time' should be 'We haven't met for a long time,' and 'You no need to buy' should be 'You don't need to buy.' Additionally, 'listen music' requires a preposition: 'listen to music.' Focus on mastering verb tenses (especially present perfect) and basic sentence structures to improve accuracy.
