Dear MIMI,First of all, I wanted to thank you for your birthday invitation, I do really appreciated it.But unfortunately I can’t make it at that day because I have an appointment with my orthodontist doctor as I had an accident to fell down from my motorbike from last week, which I’ve broke my right leg. And after I have a consult about my leg with the doctor, I have to go to pick up my niece at her international school near my hospital because my sister, which is her mom, she will have a meeting with her clients and they will have a dinner together in town so that I have to take care and play with her after school. That’s why I can’t make it on that dayHowever, the next day or on the weekend when you and I have a free time, I really want to celebrate your birthday and give some birthday present to you so we should meet at Denny’s restaurant where we always have a special lunch there and of course I will prepare some surprise for you.

looking forward to hearing back from you

Happy Birthday in advance and have fun with your birthday partylove you as always

best,meggie

Task Response

6
The letter adequately addresses all three bullet points of the task, expressing gratitude for the invitation, explaining the reason for absence, and suggesting an alternative celebration. However, the explanation for not attending is somewhat lengthy and could be more concise. To improve, focus on directly addressing the reasons for absence without unnecessary details.

Coherence & Cohesion

4
The letter's coherence is affected by the lengthy explanation of why you cannot attend. Consider breaking this into shorter, more manageable sentences to improve readability. Paragraphing could be improved by separating the explanation, the alternative suggestion, and the closing remarks into distinct paragraphs.

Lexical Resource

5
While the vocabulary is generally adequate for the task, there are opportunities to use more precise and varied language. For example, instead of 'have a consult,' you could say 'have a consultation.' Varying your word choice can make the letter more engaging.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

3
The letter contains several grammatical errors that impact clarity. Pay close attention to verb tense consistency, correct article usage (e.g., 'the' before 'orthodontist'), and sentence structure. Proofreading carefully and focusing on constructing grammatically sound sentences will enhance the letter's overall quality.
