Hi Sarah,

How have you been? It’s been such a long time since we last met.

I am writing to let you know about some exciting news. I am planning to visit you after a long time. You should send me your current address as soon as possible so I can find your place easily.

I have already booked my flight on the 22nd of May. As I may face some traffic challenges I will be arriving on the 23rd of May.

Another piece of good news is that I have received a job offer in your city. Not only will I be able to work there, but I will also get to see you.

I have some creative ideas in my mind. Since you are a great singer. It would be great if we could sing our favorite songs together. So, I will bring my guitar with me. I am sure we will have memorable moments together.

Can’t wait to see you, my bestie!

Best regards,

Khatima

Task Response

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is well-organized and easy to follow. The paragraphing is logical, and the transitions between ideas are generally smooth. To further enhance coherence, consider adding more explicit linking words or phrases to connect the ideas more seamlessly, particularly when transitioning between the arrival details and the reason for the visit.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and varied. Phrases like 'exciting news,' 'traffic challenges,' and 'memorable moments' add interest. To demonstrate even greater lexical resource, try incorporating more sophisticated or less common vocabulary where appropriate, ensuring it fits naturally within the context. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter demonstrates a strong command of grammar with a variety of sentence structures used accurately. Punctuation is also handled well. The few minor errors do not detract from the overall clarity and effectiveness of the writing.
