Student answer (Band 7.0)

Subject- Introducing a popular food from my country

Dear Event Organizer,

I hope you are doing well

I am writing to introduce a delicious food which is most famous in my country as I am a member of an International students club. The program will be held next weekend at 9 o'clock. Club members, university professors or teachers will attend this occasion. Also, students from different countries to explore new event, culture and tradition.

As a students, I would like to introduce the popular food "Butter chicken". It is one of the well-known Indian dish. It is made with chicken, butter, cream, tomatoes, and spices. It has a rich and creamy taste. Mostly Indian individuals tend to have it for lunch or dinner with naan and rice.

Therefore, I would like to include this food at the event as everyone can enjoy the taste of this spicy dish and I believe this dish will make the function enjoyable and memorable for all the respected participants.

Yours sincerely,

Komalpreet

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 7.0

You have addressed all three bullet points in the prompt: offering to make a dish, describing it, and explaining its inclusion. The tone is appropriate for a letter to an event organiser. However, the development of ideas is somewhat basic. For instance, the description of the dish is quite brief, and the explanation for why it should be included relies on general statements rather than specific cultural or social benefits. To reach a higher band, you should expand on your ideas with more detail, such as explaining the cultural significance of the dish or how it might encourage interaction among the diverse student body.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 7.5

The letter is logically organised with a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. Paragraphing is used appropriately to separate the different points. You use some cohesive devices such as 'Also', 'As a student', and 'Therefore' to link your ideas. However, the flow between some sentences is slightly mechanical, and the transition between the introduction and the body could be smoother. The referencing is generally clear, but ensure that your sentences connect more naturally to improve the overall progression of your argument.

Lexical Resource — Band 6.5

You have a sufficient range of vocabulary to convey your message clearly. You use some topic-specific terms like 'Indian dish', 'creamy taste', and 'participants'. However, the range is somewhat limited, and there are some minor inaccuracies in word choice, such as 'explore new event' (which should be 'explore new events') and 'Indian individuals' (which is slightly unnatural; 'people' would be better). To improve, try to incorporate more varied adjectives and precise collocations to describe the food and the event experience.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 6.5

You demonstrate a mix of simple and complex sentence structures. While the meaning is always clear, there are several grammatical errors, such as 'As a students' (should be 'As a student'), 'which is most famous' (should be 'which is famous'), and 'university professors or teachers will attend' (missing articles). Punctuation is generally fine, but there are minor slips in subject-verb agreement and article usage. To achieve a higher score, focus on eliminating these small errors and attempting a wider variety of complex grammatical structures with greater accuracy.
