I hope your had a great time to celebrated with familes and friends. I want to celebrate with you, may I know are your free on the coming weekend? I will book your favourite resteraunt and I hope we will have a amazing time for celebration.

Task Response

7
The letter appropriately addresses all parts of the task, including an apology, explanation, and suggestion for making it up to the friend. The reason for missing the party is clearly stated, and a suitable alternative is proposed. Minor improvements could be made to grammar and vocabulary to enhance the overall quality. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

5
The letter is generally coherent, but the flow could be improved with better transitions between ideas. Consider using more varied cohesive devices to link sentences and paragraphs more smoothly. For example, in the second paragraph, you could add a sentence to transition from explaining why you missed the party to hoping she had a good time.

Lexical Resource

5
The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement. Using more precise and varied vocabulary could enhance the letter. For instance, instead of 'had a great time,' you could use 'thoroughly enjoyed the celebration.' Also, 'amazing time' could be replaced with a more descriptive phrase like 'memorable celebration'. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

4
There are several grammatical errors that affect clarity. 'Accpect' should be 'accept,' 'roaster' should be 'roster,' and 'aircarft' should be 'aircraft.' Also, the sentence 'I hope your had a great time' should be 'I hope you had a great time.' Proofreading carefully can help avoid these errors. Focus on using correct verb tenses and spelling.
