Task Response

The letter addresses all three required points: it describes the house, the neighbourhood, and invites the friend to visit. However, the response is marred by numerous spelling and grammatical errors, and the informal salutation 'HELLO FRIEND' is not appropriate for the task. The letter also lacks a proper closing. To improve, use a standard greeting like 'Dear [Friend's Name],' and ensure correct spelling and grammar. Organize the content into clear paragraphs and proofread to eliminate errors.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter has a logical sequence of ideas, but the lack of paragraphing and the use of run-on sentences make it difficult to follow. The message is conveyed, but the flow is disrupted by the absence of clear separation between the description of the house, the neighbourhood, and the invitation. To improve, use separate paragraphs for each main point and use cohesive devices (e.g., 'Firstly', 'In addition', 'Moreover') to link ideas smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate for the task, with some good descriptive words (e.g., 'cozy', 'modern', 'peaceful'). However, there are several spelling errors (e.g., 'kithchen', 'neigbourhood', 'strees', 'blees') and informal/inaccurate phrases (e.g., 'greaton', 'same wonderful news', 'come on this address'). To improve, use a wider range of precise vocabulary and ensure correct spelling. For example, 'I have recently moved into a new house' and 'The neighbourhood is quiet and safe'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains numerous grammatical errors, including incorrect verb forms ('I have recently move'), missing articles ('a new house'), and run-on sentences. Punctuation is also lacking, with no commas or periods in many places. To improve, focus on using a variety of sentence structures, correct verb tenses, and proper punctuation. For example, 'I am writing to share some wonderful news with you. I have recently moved into a new house after searching for a long time.'
