Dear Reza,

Hi! I hope you’re doing well. I am so happy because I finally won a photography competition which hold by city council.

Actually, I saw the advertisement about the competition on city council’s website. I read the subject of photography and instructions about participating in competition. It was about urbun commuting. So I decided to go on a subway station to take multiple photographs. I took many pictures of subjects but I think one of them was good enough to send for competition. It was a picture of an old disabled man who got help to enter the train by subway’s staffs in a kind way.

There are exhibition in the main hall of munecipility building near the central park. The subject of event is urbun lifestyle photography. It is about different competition on various subjects. All winners’ photographs during recent years will be shown in the exhibition.

It will be hold on next month, between 1st to 5th April from 8am to 14pm. I would be happy, If you could attend.

Take care,

Mohammad

Task Response

The letter appropriately addresses all parts of the task, providing relevant details about the photograph, the exhibition, and an invitation to your friend. While the content is good, there are a few minor grammatical errors. To improve, focus on refining sentence structure and word choice for greater clarity.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally coherent, but the organization could be improved. Consider grouping related ideas into paragraphs more effectively. For example, the details about the competition and the photograph could be in one paragraph, and the information about the exhibition in another. Also, use more cohesive devices to link ideas within and between paragraphs.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement. Try to use more precise and varied vocabulary to describe the photograph and the exhibition. For example, instead of 'good enough,' you could use 'compelling' or 'striking.' Also, be careful with spelling ('munecipility' should be 'municipality', 'urbun' should be 'urban').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Pay attention to verb tense consistency (e.g., 'which hold' should be 'which was held'), subject-verb agreement, and correct use of prepositions. Also, review sentence structure to avoid awkward phrasing (e.g., 'It will be hold' should be 'It will be held'). Proofreading carefully before submitting can help catch these errors.
