Student answer (Band 6.0)
Dear Luis,
I am Kinny, a member of your club. I am writing this to suggest you a delicious and a flavourful dish from my country India and I am sure it can enhance the popularity of event.
The name of that dish is "Jalebi-Rabaddi", a typical Gujrati cuisine. It is very famous in India.
The Jalebi and Rabaddi both are made separatly. They both go hand in hand. Jalebi is made from multi purpose flour and it round in shape, deeped in caramelise sugar. It gives truly sweet and melodious test. Rabddi is made from boiled milk which give extremely milkey texture and creamy flavour to eat.
I am sure all the
people at event enjoy the test of
combination of Jalebi - Rabadi. Due
to containing the all nutritious ingredients
it would be appriciated by helth
conscious people also.It would be memorable test of the individuals life.
Hope you find this suggestion
meaningful. I look forward to hearing
from you.
Yours sincerely
Kinny.

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 6.0
The response covers all three bullet points required by the prompt successfully. You have offered to make a popular dish from your country ('Jalebi-Rabaddi'), described what this dish is ('made from multi purpose flour... boiled milk'), and explained why it should be included ('enjoy the test of combination', 'nutritious ingredients'). The tone is appropriate for a letter to an event organiser. However, the development of ideas is slightly limited, and the description of the dish lacks deeper elaboration to reach a higher band. Nevertheless, all parts of the task are adequately addressed, earning a Band 6.0.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 6.0
The letter follows a clear overall structure with an appropriate salutation and sign-off, and uses paragraphing to separate ideas. Cohesive devices are used, though sometimes mechanically or with minor errors ('The Jalebi and Rabaddi both...', 'They both go hand in hand'). Referencing is mostly clear, though paragraph breaks can feel a bit disjointed, such as separating sentences that logically belong together ('I am sure all the people at event...'). Progression is evident as you move from introduction to description to justification, supporting a Band 6.0.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.5
You demonstrate an adequate range of vocabulary for the task, attempting some less common food-related terms ('flavourful', 'caramelise', 'nutritious'). However, there are notable spelling and word-choice errors throughout the text, such as 'Gujrati' (Gujarati), 'separatly' (separately), 'deeped' (dipped), 'melodious test' (taste), 'milkey' (milky), 'appriciated' (appreciated), and 'helth' (health). These errors do not seriously impede communication because the context makes your meaning clear, which places this performance firmly at Band 5.5.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.5
The response exhibits a mix of simple and complex sentence forms ('I am writing this to suggest you...', 'I am sure that it can enhance...'). There are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasing choices, including missing articles ('popularity of event', 'at event'), incorrect prepositions, and verb form issues ('Due to containing the all nutritious ingredients'). While these errors are frequent, they rarely impede overall communication, allowing you to secure a Band 5.5.
