Hello Iqra,

How are you? I hope you are doing well. It’s been long since we talk. I would love to share some information with you about my home.

You already knew i lived in a small house and it’s my dream to moved to a big house in a reasonable good and peaceful society which is also near to my job also. So here is the good news i bought my own house with my job savings and recently i shifted to my new home.

Its like a dream come true which i always talked about. The infrastructure of this house as it is i always thought about. It has a Large drawing room, a beautiful American style kitchen attached with dining table, big lawn in this house where we usually sit together at evening time to enjoy tea with snacks. All neighbors are very friendly in nature. They come to greet us when we shifted to our new home.

I really want you to visit my new house. So, tell me any free time in which you come to visit my new home with your family. I would love to arrange a dinner for all your family.

With Love,

Sonia

Task Response

The letter covers all three bullet points: it explains the reason for moving (dream of a big house near work), describes the new home and neighbourhood (large drawing room, American kitchen, lawn, friendly neighbours), and suggests a convenient time for the visit (asks the friend to suggest a time). The tone is friendly and appropriate. However, there are some lapses: the suggestion of a time is vague ('any free time') rather than a specific convenient time, and there are minor grammatical and punctuation errors (e.g., 'i' instead of 'I', 'moved' instead of 'move', 'It's been long since we talk' should be 'It's been a long time since we talked'). To improve, provide a more specific time suggestion and proofread for grammar and clarity.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally easy to follow, with a clear structure: greeting, reason for moving, description of the new home and neighborhood, and invitation. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by abrupt transitions and repetitive phrasing (e.g., 'new home' is used multiple times). The paragraphing is adequate but could be improved by separating the description of the house from the neighborhood for better clarity. To enhance coherence, use linking words (e.g., 'Moreover', 'In addition') and vary sentence structures to create a smoother narrative.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is appropriate for the task and includes some good descriptive phrases (e.g., 'American style kitchen', 'dream come true'). However, there is some repetition (e.g., 'new home' appears several times) and a few awkward or informal expressions (e.g., 'reasonable good', 'as it is i always thought about'). To improve, use a wider range of synonyms (e.g., 'residence', 'place', 'property') and more precise adjectives (e.g., 'spacious', 'modern', 'welcoming'). Also, avoid colloquialisms like 'Its like' in formal writing. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity, such as 'It's been long since we talk' (should be 'It's been a long time since we talked'), 'i' should be capitalized, 'moved' should be 'move' in 'it's my dream to moved', and 'shifted' is informal (better: 'moved'). There are also issues with articles and prepositions (e.g., 'a reasonable good' should be 'a reasonably good', 'near to my job also' should be 'near my job'). The range of sentence structures is limited, with many simple sentences. To improve, practice using a variety of complex and compound sentences, and proofread for basic grammar and punctuation errors.
