Hi John,

Good day!

How are you? I hope all is well with you and your family.

I would just like to share something special to you. I have just recently adopted a puppy from a shelter. I named the puppy Coco. He’s a medium size dog that weighs about 10 kilograms and his fur colour is bronze. He’s just 2 years old that’s why he’s very active. I bought him lots of toyw to play with. He’s very excited everytime i come home at night – jumping, running around and barking.

Before, i can wake up late in the morning, but now he’s waking me up at around 6:30 a.m. as he wants to go out for a walk. I also installed cameras around the house so that i can see and check what he’s doing everytime i am away for work.

You should come visit soon so that you can meet Coco and play with him. Don’t forget to bring some doggy treats please!

See you soon.

Warm regards,

Jericho

Task Response

8
The letter covers all three required points: describes the puppy's appearance and personality, explains changes to the daily routine, and invites the cousin to visit. The tone is friendly and appropriate for a personal letter. Minor lapses include a few spelling errors (e.g., 'toyw', 'everytime') and informal phrasing, but these do not detract from the overall task achievement. To improve, ensure consistent punctuation and capitalization, and consider adding a bit more detail about the puppy's personality or routine changes for a richer response.

Coherence & Cohesion

7
The letter is logically organized and easy to follow, with a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and a closing. The use of cohesive devices is adequate, but there are minor lapses in cohesion, such as abrupt transitions between ideas (e.g., from describing the puppy's personality to mentioning toys). Paragraphing is generally well-managed, but could be improved by separating the description of the puppy from the routine changes for better clarity.

Lexical Resource

7
The vocabulary is appropriate and mostly accurate, with some good descriptive words (e.g., 'active', 'excited', 'jumping'). However, there are a few errors and informal phrasings (e.g., 'toyw' should be 'toys', 'everytime' should be 'every time', 'i' should be capitalized). The range of vocabulary is adequate but not highly sophisticated. To improve, use more varied and precise terms, such as 'energetic' instead of 'active', and 'eagerly greets me' instead of 'very excited'. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

6
The letter uses a mix of simple and compound sentences, but there are several grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect accuracy. Examples include missing capitalization for 'i', incorrect spelling ('toyw'), and run-on sentences (e.g., 'He's just 2 years old that's why he's very active.'). To improve, focus on sentence structure, use a wider range of complex structures, and proofread for punctuation and spelling errors.
