Dear Harry,

I am writting to you to send my best regards and sincerly thank you for the help that you provided me last week. Indeed, professionals advice that you gave me helped me to reply more efficiently to the interviewer. It helped me to get the job that I was looking for two years. I provided, short and quick replies and I asked the same questions as you recommended me, at the end of the interview. Moreover, I want to thank you for the training and the fake interviews that we did together. I was feeling more confident and optimistic during the interview.

I have always known that I could count on you and I will never forget you and I want you to know that you can resquet my help for anything. Also, I would like to invite you and your wife next monday’s evening to eat at my house for dinner, I will cook your favorite meal.

Your’s faithfully

Victor Delbec

Task Response

The letter appropriately covers all requirements of the task, expressing gratitude, explaining the impact of the advice, and conveying feelings about the friend's help. There are a few minor grammatical errors (e.g., "writting", "sincerly", "professionals advice", "resquet") and awkward phrasing (e.g., "reply more efficiently to the interviewer"). To improve, focus on proofreading for grammatical accuracy and clarity of expression. Overall, the letter is well-written and effectively communicates the intended message.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally well-organized and the message is easy to follow. The paragraphing is adequate, but could be improved by ensuring each paragraph focuses on a single main idea. Transition words are present but could be used more effectively to enhance the flow between ideas. For example, varying the sentence structure and using a wider range of cohesive devices would make the letter more engaging.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and generally accurate. However, there are opportunities to use more varied and sophisticated language to express your gratitude and explain the impact of the advice. For instance, instead of 'helped me to reply more efficiently,' you could use 'enabled me to respond more effectively.' Expanding your range of vocabulary would enhance the overall impression.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter demonstrates a reasonable command of grammar, but there are some errors that affect clarity. For example, 'professionals advice that you gave me' should be 'the professional advice that you gave me,' and 'resquet' should be 'request'. Pay closer attention to article usage, verb tense consistency, and spelling to improve accuracy. Proofreading carefully before submitting can help catch these errors.
