Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 7.5

You have successfully addressed all three bullet points in the prompt. You offered to make a dish, provided a clear description of the 'curry lime rice', and explained why it would be a valuable addition to the event. The tone is appropriate for a letter to an event organiser. However, the development of your ideas is somewhat brief. To reach a higher band, you could expand slightly on the cultural significance of the dish or provide more specific details about the ingredients or preparation to make your proposal more persuasive. Overall, the task is fully addressed.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 6.5

The letter follows a logical progression, moving from the purpose of the letter to the proposal and finally the justification. However, the response is written as a single block of text rather than using clear paragraphing. In IELTS writing, even in a letter, you should use distinct paragraphs for each main point (e.g., introduction, proposal/description, justification, and closing). While the use of cohesive devices like 'as' and 'and' is present, the lack of paragraphing makes the structure feel slightly cluttered. Improving the layout would significantly enhance the flow of your ideas.

Lexical Resource — Band 6.5

You have a sufficient range of vocabulary to convey your message clearly. You used some relevant terms such as 'inquire', 'upcoming', and 'culture'. However, there are several spelling errors, such as 'possiblity', 'diffrent', 'definetly', 'amezing', and 'sincerly'. Additionally, some word choices are slightly awkward, such as 'the dish consist of' (should be 'consists') and 'many Asian people who attends' (should be 'attend'). To improve, focus on proofreading your work for common spelling mistakes and ensuring subject-verb agreement.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 6.0

You demonstrate a mix of simple and complex sentence structures. While your meaning is generally clear, there are frequent grammatical errors that detract from the quality of the writing. For example, 'when i got to know about the popular food from diffrent part of the globe are being organised' is a run-on sentence with incorrect verb tense. You also have issues with capitalization (e.g., 'luis', 'Event', 'White') and punctuation. To improve, focus on mastering basic sentence construction and ensuring that your subjects and verbs agree. Reducing these frequent slips will help you achieve a higher score.
