Dear friends & colleagues,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing this to inform you that you’ve been invited to my potluck party! Initially, I had planned a small omakase to celebrate my birthday with my girlfriend, however since the day was close to Christmas, I decided that it would be way more fun to make it a potluck gathering for my friends and colleagues.

The theme of this upcoming event will be “Asian”. Therefore, I would appreciate it if everyone could dress appropriately. Additionally, please make sure to bring a dish of your own choice to share and make sure it is enough to feed at least 5 people.

The party will take place at my house “Evergreen condominum, 08-88, Kota Kinabalu” at 22/12/25 8:30 P.M sharp. I sincerely hope you could make it. On the off chance that you are unable to. Please make sure to inform me via email.

Thank you!

Warm regards,

Howard Fung

Task Response

8
The letter appropriately addresses all requirements of the task, providing relevant details about the potluck party. The purpose, theme, date, time, location, and dish contribution are all clearly communicated. While the letter is well-written, there's room for minor improvements. For instance, the tone could be slightly more formal and consistent, given it's addressed to colleagues. Also, while the location is mentioned, adding a bit more detail (e.g., directions or landmarks) could enhance clarity. Overall, it's a strong response that effectively fulfills the task's objectives.

Coherence & Cohesion

6
The letter is generally well-organized, but there are a few areas where coherence could be improved. The transition between the initial omakase plan and the potluck party could be smoother. Consider adding a sentence to clearly signal the change in plans and the reason for it. Also, ensure that the date format is consistent and clear to avoid confusion.

Lexical Resource

7
The vocabulary used is appropriate and generally well-chosen. The use of 'omakase' is a nice touch. To further enhance the lexical resource, consider varying your sentence structure and using more descriptive language when detailing the theme and expectations for the dishes. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

6
While the grammar is mostly accurate, there are a few areas that need attention. For example, 'Evergreen condominum' should be 'Evergreen Condominium'. Also, '22/12/25 8:30 P.M sharp' could be phrased more clearly as '8:30 PM on December 22, 2025'. Pay close attention to punctuation and capitalization to improve overall clarity.
