Task Response

The letter addresses all three prompts required by the task: the news (passing the exam), the feelings (happiness/dreaming of being a doctor), and the celebration (a party next week). However, the development of these points is somewhat limited and repetitive. The response also includes inappropriate formal language for a letter to a friend, such as 'please do not hesitate to contact me,' which is typically reserved for business correspondence. To improve, focus on expanding the descriptions to make the letter feel more natural and personal. Instead of using formal templates, try to use more conversational language and provide more specific details about the celebration (e.g., where the party will be or what food will be served) to fully satisfy the requirements of a personal letter.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter follows a logical progression by addressing the three prompts, but the transitions between ideas are somewhat abrupt. The use of cohesive devices like 'Firstly' and 'In addition' is appropriate, but the connection between the news of the exam and the future plans as a doctor could be smoother. Additionally, the concluding paragraph uses highly formal language ('If you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me') which is inappropriate for a letter to a friend. For a personal letter, use more casual closings like 'Let me know what you think' or 'Can't wait to see you'.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and functional, which allows the message to be understood, but it lacks the range and sophistication required for higher bands. There is some repetition of words like 'dream' and 'doctor'. To improve, try to use synonyms or more descriptive phrases. For example, instead of saying 'I am really happy,' you could say 'I am absolutely thrilled' or 'I am over the moon.' Also, be careful with word forms, such as using 'celebration party' instead of 'celebration' or 'celebratory party'. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors that impact the flow of the writing. Issues include sentence structure (e.g., 'I thought I should you let you know'), incorrect verb usage ('I always treatment my family members' should be 'I will always treat my family members'), and awkward phrasing in conditional sentences ('when I will be a doctor'). There is also a punctuation error in the salutation ('Dear, Tawsif' should be 'Dear Tawsif'). To improve, focus on mastering subject-verb agreement, future tense constructions, and the correct use of parts of speech (noun vs. verb).
