Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.5

You address all three required points: you describe the theatre and its expected impact, invite Mr Jayeshbhai to be chief guest at the opening, and explain his connection with the city. The invitation is clear, and the details about Nadiad and the planned opening make the letter relevant. However, some points are less fully developed: the theatre’s facilities or purpose are not described, and the claim that the actor’s presence will show “goodwill to customer service” is unclear. To strengthen the letter, explain more specifically how his achievements or reputation make him an appropriate person to perform the opening ceremony, and state the event date or what you would like him to do there.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.5

The letter has a recognisable progression from the invitation and theatre information to the reason for choosing the actor, followed by a request for a reply and a sign-off. Connectors such as “Furthermore” and “Moreover” help signal the movement between ideas, and the main purpose remains understandable. However, the information is crowded into long blocks, and several ideas are joined together without clear punctuation, particularly in the sentence about employment and turnover. “Moreover, the reason is selecting you” also creates an awkward transition. Use separate paragraphs for the theatre, the invitation, and the explanation, and make links between ideas more precise so the reader can follow the letter effortlessly.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You attempt vocabulary suited to a formal invitation, including “grand opening,” “chief guest,” “employment,” and “turnover.” These choices show some range beyond basic language, but inaccurate spelling and word choice are noticeable and sometimes make the meaning difficult to interpret. Examples include “eyeshoothing center,” “ribben proceduger,” and “difine our goodwill to customer servise.” Some expressions are also unnatural for this context, such as “open ceremony” and “followed by your hand.” Aim for accurate, conventional collocations and check spelling carefully; for example, refer to an “opening ceremony” and say that the guest will “officially open” the theatre. This would make your message clearer and more professional.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You use both simple statements and longer sentences, and the reader can generally identify the intended message. However, control of sentence structure and verb forms is inconsistent, with errors that sometimes make the relationships between ideas unclear. For example, “which will going to open” combines two future forms; use “which will open” or “which is going to open.” In “the reason is selecting you,” the clause needs a clearer grammatical structure, such as “the reason for selecting you is that…”. There are also problems with articles, agreement, and punctuation, including “as the people … is respecting you” and the run-on sentence beginning “Furthermore.” Practise building accurate complex sentences and separating complete ideas with appropriate punctuation.
