Dear Ruchin,

I hope you and your family are doing well. It has been a long time since we met.

I am writing to inform you that recently I have moved to a new apartment in Toronto.

Firstly, the main reason for moving is my work, as I got an opportunity to work as a recruiter in a health care provider company. Not only this, but my sister is also living in the same city; therefore, it would be convenient for us to meet on weekends for a small get-together.

Moreover, the new apartment has a kitchen, one bedroom, and balcony. Also, it is situated very close to the CN Tower; as a result, I can enjoy a beautiful view of Downtown Toronto from my balcony. This apartment has all required facilities inbuild, such as a gym, indoor swimming pool, and library.

Lastly, it would be great if you could come to my home on next weekend. We will watch a baseball match of the Blue Jays, and we will also cook our favourite falafel wrap for dinner.

I hope you will come to my home, as we will make a lot of memories together.

See you soon.

Warm regards,

Dhruvi Patel

Task Response

The letter effectively addresses all three bullet points: it explains the reason for moving (work and proximity to sister), describes the new house (apartment with kitchen, bedroom, balcony, and amenities), and invites the friend to visit with specific plans. The tone is friendly and appropriate. Minor lapses include a slight lack of detail in the description of the house and the invitation could be more enthusiastic. Overall, the task is well covered with only minor omissions.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is well-organized with clear paragraphs for each purpose. The flow is logical and easy to follow. Minor improvements could be made by using more varied cohesive devices to enhance the connection between ideas.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is appropriate and mostly natural. There is a good range of words and phrases. A few minor phrasing issues (e.g., 'inbuild' should be 'built-in') slightly affect the overall sophistication.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is largely accurate with a good range of structures. There are a few minor errors (e.g., 'inbuild' and 'on next weekend' should be 'next weekend') that do not impede understanding. Overall, the writing is clear and controlled.
