Task Response

The letter addresses the task by mentioning the hobby (yoga), how the writer got into it, why they enjoy it, and an invitation to the friend. However, there are several issues that detract from task achievement. The response includes some irrelevant details (e.g., comments about girls on TikTok) and lacks clarity in explaining how the friend could be introduced to the hobby or try it together. The tone is informal but somewhat disjointed, and the letter would benefit from a clearer structure and more specific suggestions for the friend. To improve, focus on the three bullet points, provide more concrete details about the hobby and its benefits, and clearly propose a specific activity or plan to do together.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter has a logical progression from introducing the hobby to explaining its benefits and inviting the friend, but the flow is disrupted by frequent grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. The use of paragraphs is minimal, and the connection between ideas is often unclear. To improve, organize the letter into clear paragraphs (introduction, details about the hobby, reasons for enjoyment, and invitation) and use cohesive devices (e.g., 'Firstly', 'Moreover', 'In addition') to link ideas smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is basic and repetitive, with some inappropriate word choices (e.g., 'sharm' instead of 'charm', 'teropy' instead of 'therapy', 'procces' instead of 'process'). There is an attempt to use descriptive language (e.g., 'unique and gorgeous', 'calm and disciplined'), but it is not always accurate or natural. To improve, expand your vocabulary related to hobbies and benefits, and use more precise and varied words. Also, avoid informal or vague expressions like 'something like this'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains numerous grammatical errors, including subject-verb agreement ('I started a new hobbies'), incorrect verb forms ('its very interested' should be 'it is very interesting'), and missing articles/prepositions. Punctuation is often missing or incorrect (e.g., missing commas, run-on sentences). The range of sentence structures is limited, and most sentences are simple or incorrectly formed. To improve, focus on basic grammar rules, practice writing clear and correct sentences, and review punctuation usage. Consider using a variety of sentence structures, such as complex sentences, to enhance accuracy and range.
