Dear Jatin,

I am glad that you bought tickets for movie for Saturday evening show. Unfortunately, I may not be able to join you for movie due to visit of expected guest on that day to my home. Therefore, please accept my apology and forgive me.

I know you are planing to meet for movie for quiet two weeks but for some reason, I have to Cancle the plan. My ancle and aunty who lived in Australia since 10 years, they lended here before three days. We got informed last night that They will visit our home on Saturday. Thus, I have to be at home to attend them. Because, I don’t want to miss the chance to meet them as I said that They visited us after so long.

I was wondering, why don’t you ask to Raj for movie? He is here on vacation and this is good chance to meet him after he went to the hostel.

We will plan to meet soon and have a good time with Raj!

Yours lovingly,

Darshana

Task Response

5.5

The letter partially addresses the task by apologizing and explaining the situation. However, it lacks clarity in informing the friend about not being able to go to the theatre specifically. It would be better to explicitly mention the theatre tickets and the inability to attend the show.

Coherence & Cohesion

4.5

The letter is somewhat coherent but lacks cohesion. There are some abrupt shifts between ideas and the overall flow could be improved. Additionally, the paragraphing could be better managed to enhance the organization of the letter.

Lexical Resource

4.5

There is an attempt to use a range of vocabulary, but some words are not used accurately or appropriately. Work on improving the precision and naturalness of the language. Additionally, watch out for spelling errors ('Cancle' should be 'cancel', 'ancle' should be 'uncle', 'planing' should be 'planning', 'lended' should be 'landed', 'hostel' should be 'hostel room').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

4.5

While there is an effort to use a variety of sentence structures, there are several grammatical errors throughout the letter. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement, verb tenses, and sentence construction for better accuracy. Additionally, punctuation could be improved for clearer communication.
