Dear Tony,

How are you? I hope you and your family are doing well. It was great to hear from you, and I would like to inform you about my television that I think you will interested in buying.

I got the television early this year from an online sale. I have not been able to use it due to the small size of my student accommodation, I actually thought I would be moving to a spacious apartment, but at this moment there are no affordable large apartment at the student lodge for this session.

The television is a smart 60 inches LED TV with advance features. These includes application such as Movies box, Unlimited video games and it can be used as a projector for presentation and video conference for meetings. Additionally it is has a touch screen features.

I would suggest next week Friday which is on the 12 of October, for you to come and have look or better still inspect the TV. I hope this date is convenient for you.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Best wishes,

Opeyemi

Task Response

The letter covers all three bullet points: it explains why you are selling the television, describes it, and suggests a date for your friend to see it. The tone is friendly and appropriate for a letter to a friend. However, there are a few minor lapses: the phrase 'you will interested' should be 'you will be interested', and 'advance features' should be 'advanced features'. Also, the description could be slightly more detailed (e.g., brand, condition, age). To improve, ensure grammatical accuracy and consider adding a bit more specific information about the TV's condition or reason for selling.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is logically organized with clear paragraphs for each required point. However, the flow is slightly disrupted by some awkward phrasing and minor lapses in cohesion (e.g., 'I would like to inform you about my television that I think you will interested in buying' could be smoother). The paragraphing is generally well-managed, but the transition between the description and the suggestion of a date could be more seamless. To improve, use clearer linking words and ensure each paragraph has a single clear focus.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is appropriate and mostly accurate, with some good attempts at descriptive language (e.g., 'smart 60 inches LED TV', 'advance features', 'touch screen features'). However, there are some inaccuracies and informal choices (e.g., 'advance' should be 'advanced', 'These includes' should be 'These include', 'have look' should be 'have a look'). The range is adequate but not fully flexible or sophisticated. To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary, and ensure correct word forms and collocations.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains a mix of simple and complex structures, but there are several grammatical errors that affect clarity and accuracy. Examples include: 'you will interested' (missing 'be'), 'I actually thought I would be moving' (correct but the sentence is run-on), 'at this moment there are no affordable large apartment' (subject-verb agreement and singular/plural issue), 'it is has a touch screen features' (redundant 'is' and plural issue), and 'on the 12 of October' (should be '12th of October'). Punctuation is mostly correct, but the errors reduce the overall grammatical range and control. To improve, proofread carefully and practice using a wider range of structures with accuracy.
