Dear Ali,

I hope you and your family are doing well. It has been a long time since we last met, so I thought I would write to let you know that I am planning to visit your city next month.

I have a few days off from work from 15th to 18th August and I would love to spend that time with you. I’ve checked online hotels in that area are quite expensive, I was wondering if it would be convenient for me to stay at your place for three nights. But please don’t hesitate to say no if you already have other plans or if it would cause you any trouble. I completely understand.

It would be wonderful if we could spend most of our time together. We could visit some of the well-known destinations in your city, try a few local restaurants, and watch a movie in the evening. I also remember you mentioning a beautiful park near your home, so we could go there for a walk and catch up on everything that has happened since we last met.

I’m really looking forward to seeing you again. Please let me know if my visit suits your schedule.

Take care, and I hope to hear from you soon.

Best wishes,

Syed Husnain

Task Response

9
The letter fully addresses all three task requirements: it informs the friend about the visit, asks about staying with them, and suggests activities. The tone is polite and natural, with appropriate details such as dates and a considerate offer for the friend to decline. The suggestions for activities are specific and relevant. No improvements are needed.

Coherence & Cohesion

9
The letter is exceptionally well-organized and easy to follow. Each paragraph has a clear purpose: the first introduces the visit, the second asks about accommodation, and the third suggests activities. The flow is natural and logical, with smooth transitions between ideas. Paragraphing is skillfully managed, and the message is conveyed effortlessly.

Lexical Resource

8
The vocabulary is wide-ranging and used with precision. Phrases like 'well-known destinations,' 'catch up on everything,' and 'suits your schedule' demonstrate natural and sophisticated control. The tone is appropriately friendly and polite, fitting the context of a letter to a friend. There is no overuse of simple or repetitive language. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

9
The letter displays a wide range of grammatical structures used accurately and flexibly. Complex sentences are handled well, such as 'I've checked online hotels in that area are quite expensive, I was wondering if it would be convenient for me to stay at your place for three nights.' Punctuation and grammar are correct throughout, with no errors that detract from clarity.
