Dear Mariana,

I am writing you a letter because my company is planning to take me on a work trip close to the place, where you study. I will come to the cardio treatment training there. I need to catch up on new experiences and valuable information from the last study, which was preliminary in the cardio department.

While my course will be in the Hotel High Tatra, I will be accommodated in central London in the Hotel Hertfordshire. Therefore, I will contact you directly, because it looks like my accommodation is close to your University Hertford. During the day I will be busy, but, afterwards, I will get some leisure time, which we can spend together, especially on Friday night.

As I mentioned before, on Friday afternoon and at night I am free and, therefore, we should set off outside and look for loud nightlife. Hopefully, you know good places around your university, thus you can suggest wild entertainment activities for us. I am eager to visit some karaoke studios with good drinks, or discos to remember our young ages.

See you soon,

Best wishes,

Nicol.

Task Response

The letter addresses most parts of the task but could be more specific in explaining the reasons for the visit. It would be beneficial to provide more details about the cardio treatment training and how it relates to the friend's university. Additionally, the request for evening activities is clear.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally coherent and easy to follow. However, there are some minor issues with cohesion, such as the abrupt transition between discussing the visit and evening activities. Consider smoother transitions between ideas for better cohesion.

Lexical Resource

There is a good range of vocabulary used, but some inaccuracies and awkward phrasings are present. Work on using more precise and natural language. Additionally, try to vary sentence structures for a more sophisticated lexical resource.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

5.5

The letter demonstrates a reasonable range of grammatical structures, but there are errors in verb tenses and word choices. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and verb tense consistency for improved accuracy.
