Dear John

Hi John, how are you? I hope you’re doing fine. I’m writing this letter to send you my apology about the dinner plans.

First of all, I’m terribly sorry for tonight. I know you’re very upset but. I’ll try my best to explain what happened. So in the morning I went to the gym to have some daily workout, but i did’nt know what happened that I was exhausted, then I went to bed, but the thing was i forgot to set my alarm and ended up overslept. When i woke up, I was very shocked and did’nt know what to do.

I was feeling so bad because you’ve talk about this dinner all the time, but please don’t hate me. To make up for all of my mistakes, I would like to ask you out for a dinner at NOBU restaurant as it was you’re favourites and I’ll pay for it. I truly hope that you accept my invitation and my apology

Yours sincerely

Kevin

Task Response

6.5

The letter adequately addresses all parts of the task. The explanation for forgetting is clear, the apology is sincere, and a concrete plan to make amends is offered. Minor improvements in clarity and detail would elevate the response.

Coherence & Cohesion

5.5

The letter's message is mostly understandable. However, some sentences lack smooth transitions, and the overall flow could be improved with better paragraphing and sentence structure. The grammar errors impact the coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate for the context, but the range could be expanded. More precise and varied word choices would enhance the letter's sophistication and impact. Some lexical choices are slightly informal for a formal letter.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

While the letter conveys the message, there are several grammatical errors that affect the overall clarity and accuracy. Improving grammatical accuracy and range is crucial for a higher score.
