Dear Tina,

Hope you are doing well. I am so glad to hear that you are coming to my city for one week. It’s been quite long time we met. There are many beautiful places in my city to visit, the miracle garden, palm jumeirah, jable jais and burj khalifa are some of the interesting places which you will definitely like it.

Moreover, you are coming on our Dubai shopping festival season there will be lots of different events around the city, which will add an extra excitement to your journey. The best way to travel around the city is to use cab facility which will cost you less charge compared to other transportations. I am so excited to meet you and spend some quality time together after a long break. Please let me know if you need any other assistance. I look forward to hearing from you. Convey my regards to your family.

Best wishes

Shirin Ibrahim

Task Response

8
The letter effectively addresses all three task requirements: suggesting places to visit, explaining the best way to travel, and inviting Tina to spend time together. The tone is friendly and appropriate for a personal letter. There are minor lapses, such as a few grammatical errors ('It's been quite long time we met', 'which you will definitely like it') and a slightly informal structure, but these do not detract from the overall clarity and completeness. To improve, consider polishing grammar and sentence structure for a more polished finish.

Coherence & Cohesion

7
The letter is logically organized and easy to follow. The introduction, body, and closing are clear. However, the transition between the first and second paragraphs could be smoother. Consider using linking phrases like 'Additionally' or 'Furthermore' to connect ideas more cohesively. The paragraphing is adequate, but breaking the list of places into a separate sentence or using bullet points could improve readability.

Lexical Resource

7
The vocabulary is appropriate and generally accurate. Some phrases are slightly informal or awkward, such as 'cab facility' and 'cost you less charge.' Using more precise and natural expressions like 'taxi services' and 'more affordable' would enhance the lexical range. Additionally, the list of places could be introduced with a more varied structure, e.g., 'There are several must-see attractions, including...' to demonstrate greater flexibility.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

6
There are a few grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. For example, 'It's been quite long time we met' should be 'It's been quite a long time since we met.' Also, 'which you will definitely like it' contains a redundant pronoun; it should be 'which you will definitely like.' The sentence about the shopping festival is a run-on and could be split for better accuracy. Overall, the range of structures is limited, and more complex sentences with correct punctuation would improve the score.
