Dear John

I hope you are doing well. Last week ago I went to Chiang Mai with my family. That is so fun and I was very happy to spend time with them. I followed many destinations from your guidebook that you gave before I decided to travel at Chiang Mai.

However, most of destinations in your guidebook were very beautiful and I took many pictures from every spot. For instance, temples, garden of flowers, restaurant, street foods and famous university in this province as well. So, It is seems like surrounded by nature and mountain. That’s makes it so unique. Personally, I think your guidebook was very useful for me because I can travel with me family without upset and we were appreciated about our times.

Finally, I will come to your home for giving a guidebook back to you. I am available around 10 am and I would arrive at your home around 11 am. Please, wait me until I arrive because I am available just one day in this week.

see you soon!

Task Response

The letter adequately covers the task requirements, describing the holiday, explaining the guidebook's usefulness, and arranging its return. There are some minor grammatical errors and awkward phrasing, but the overall message is clear. To improve, focus on using more precise language and varying sentence structure.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally coherent, but the organization could be improved. Consider dedicating a paragraph to each of the points mentioned in the task instructions (describing the holiday, explaining the guidebook's usefulness, and arranging to return the book). This would enhance clarity and flow. The transition between ideas could also be smoother.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement. Try to use more varied and descriptive language to make the letter more engaging. For example, instead of just saying 'very beautiful,' you could use more specific adjectives to describe the destinations.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Pay attention to verb tense consistency ('Last week ago' should be 'Last week'), subject-verb agreement, and sentence structure. Proofreading carefully before submitting your writing can help catch these errors. For example, 'That is so fun' could be improved to 'It was so much fun'.
