Student answer (Band 6.0)

Dear, Manager of Andrew Garfield

I am kirat modi and I work for an entertaintment company called "Amazing". The purpose of this email to invite Sir Andrew Garfield for our new theater opening in the same city where he will be next month for his movie shooting. It will be an honour to have him among all the other stars because of his young fan following as well as his association to our theater name "Amazing" via movie "The Amazing Spiderman".

If he agrees we would like to host our opening on first week for next month but we can reschedule in case of schedule conflict. This gathering will give opportunity to promote his new film which is a third sequel to the same series on a big plateform.

All the expenses from his arrival to the promotion and accomodation will be on the covered on request.

We will be looking forword to discuss about this contract in the best and earliest time possible.

Thankyou,

Your Faithfully,

Kirat Modi

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

The letter addresses the main purpose by inviting Andrew Garfield to open the theatre and explaining his appeal to the company: his young fan following and connection with “The Amazing Spiderman.” It also gives some practical information, including the proposed timing, flexibility to reschedule, and covered expenses. However, the new theatre itself is barely described, so that part of the task is less fully addressed. The invitation is also framed indirectly through his manager rather than clearly addressed to the actor, and the proposed film promotion is not explained in enough detail to show how it relates to the opening. Add a brief description of the venue and make the invitation and reasons more explicit and developed.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.5

The information follows a generally sensible order: the writer introduces the company and purpose, gives a reason for the invitation, then discusses timing and expenses before closing. Paragraph breaks help separate these points, and links such as “because of” and “in case of” make some relationships clear. This gives the letter an overall coherent arrangement. To make the progression more polished, use a clearer opening and organise the content around the three requested points, especially by giving the theatre details before the invitation. Some connections are abrupt—for example, the move from the actor’s association with the theatre name to the proposed film promotion—and the closing sentence is difficult to follow. More precise transitions and clearer references would improve flow.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

The response uses a reasonable range of task-related vocabulary, including “opening,” “fan following,” “promotion,” “expenses,” and “accommodation,” so the purpose is generally clear. There are also attempts at more formal expressions, such as “It will be an honour.” However, several spelling and word-choice problems reduce precision: “entertaintment,” “plateform,” “look forward” misspelled as “look forword,” and “on the covered” are noticeable. Some phrases are also unnatural, including “a third sequel” and “discuss about this contract.” Choose conventional collocations and check spelling carefully; for example, use “third instalment,” “on a large platform,” and “discuss the arrangements.” This would make the language more accurate and professional.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.5

There is some variety in sentence structure, including a conditional sentence (“If he agrees…”) and a clause explaining the reason for the invitation (“because of his young fan following…”). Most of the message remains understandable, and the writer attempts to express timing and conditions. Some grammatical errors are present, however. The opening lacks a complete construction (“The purpose of this email to invite…” should be “The purpose of this email is to invite…”), and “on first week for next month” has incorrect article and preposition use. “All the expenses … will be on the covered” is also structurally faulty, while “Your Faithfully” has an agreement/form error. Review articles, verb forms, and sentence patterns, and use punctuation to make the longer sentences easier to read.
