Dear Rose,

Hope you are doing well! I just wanted to say that I am very excited to celebrate your upcoming 21st birthday next month. I heard from your boyfriend Melvin that you are open to suggestions toward your birthday celebrations.

One thing that I noted was you wanted a landmark birthday. Since you love wine, I would suggest you celebrate your birthday at the winery. I think Yarra Valley are a great location to hold your event, since it is not too far away from the city and still accessible by Train.

Since you love flowers, I believe that Floral themes are the perfect theme for you. As for the dress code, I recommend the girls to wear floral dresses and as for the boys they should wear white or pastel colored outfits to fit the theme. For the activities, I think painting or mini art and craft would be a great option, since it would be outdoors and the winery has a gorgeous view.

These are all the things I want you to consider for your birthday, and I hope this helps in creating the perfect birthday event for you.

With extra love,

Angel Wijaya

Task Response

8
The letter appropriately covers the requirements of the task, offering relevant and sufficient suggestions for Rose's birthday celebration. The suggestions for the party theme, venue, and entertainment are well-suited to the recipient's preferences. To further enhance the response, consider adding more specific details about the entertainment options or elaborating on why the suggested venue is particularly suitable.

Coherence & Cohesion

7
The letter is generally well-organized and easy to follow. The ideas are presented in a logical sequence, and the letter maintains a friendly and personal tone suitable for a letter to a friend. To enhance coherence, consider using more varied cohesive devices to link ideas within and between paragraphs. For example, in the second paragraph, you could add a sentence that explicitly connects the idea of a landmark birthday with the suggestion of celebrating at a winery. Also, ensure that each paragraph focuses on a single main idea to improve clarity.

Lexical Resource

7
The vocabulary used is appropriate for the task and demonstrates a good range of expression. The language is natural and conveys the writer's enthusiasm and suggestions effectively. To further enhance lexical resource, try incorporating more specific and descriptive vocabulary related to the suggested themes and activities. For example, instead of just saying 'painting or mini art and craft,' you could suggest specific types of art activities that would be suitable for an outdoor winery setting.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

6
The letter demonstrates a good command of grammar with only minor errors. The sentence structures are varied, and the punctuation is generally accurate. To improve grammatical accuracy, pay close attention to subject-verb agreement and correct use of prepositions. For example, in the second paragraph, 'Yarra Valley are a great location' should be 'Yarra Valley is a great location.' Reviewing and correcting these minor errors will enhance the overall impression of grammatical control.
