Dear Sam,

Hope you are doing well! How was your experience at the International Conference Meet at California? Did you remember to buy me a souvenir?

I’m coming back from my vacation on Oct-21 and will bring you a lot of Indian sweets and snacks which I got from my friend’s marriage. You remember my friend Paru in India I used to talk about? She surprised me with her marriage invitation. It was fun to meet all my school friends and also, I met my class teacher.

Though the marriage took place in a small village, the event was organized outdoors. It has a beautiful scenic view of a mountain and river together. They set up the stage in front of the river and all the decorations matched with the blue and green shades. The view was stunning and I have attached pictures for you to see.

I have an important message to say. My parents have fixed my marriage in the next 6 months. When I’m visiting India, you should join me at the wedding. You will get a chance to experience the beauty of the village, try new spicy Indian foods and most importantly you will be draped in a saree showing the tradition of the region.

Will see you soon,

Divi

Task Response

8
The letter effectively addresses all three task requirements: it identifies whose marriage it was (a friend named Paru), provides descriptive details about the ceremony (outdoor setting, scenic view, decorations), and extends an invitation to visit the country. The tone is friendly and appropriate for a personal letter. Minor lapses include a slight digression about the conference and souvenir, and the invitation is more focused on the writer's own upcoming wedding rather than a general visit, but these do not detract significantly from the overall task achievement. To improve, ensure the invitation to visit the country is more explicit and avoid unrelated opening remarks.

Coherence & Cohesion

8
The letter is well-organized and easy to follow. The purpose is clear, and each paragraph has a distinct focus: opening with personal news, describing the wedding, and extending an invitation. Transitions are smooth, and the overall flow is natural. Minor improvements could be made by linking the opening more directly to the wedding description, but overall, cohesion is strong.

Lexical Resource

8
The vocabulary is varied and appropriate for the context. Words like 'scenic view', 'decorations matched', 'draped in a saree' show good range. The tone is friendly and suitable for a letter to a friend. To reach a higher band, consider using more sophisticated or precise vocabulary, but the current usage is accurate and natural.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

8
The letter demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures with only minor errors. For example, 'It has a beautiful scenic view' could be 'It had' for consistency, and 'When I'm visiting India' might be better as 'When I visit India'. Punctuation is generally correct. Overall, grammar is controlled and does not impede understanding.
