Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.0
You attempt the main purpose by inviting the actor and giving a proposed time: “I hope you will coming” and “tomorrow at 05:30pm.” You also mention that the company is opening a new theatre. However, the theatre information is difficult to understand, and the invitation is not clearly or appropriately presented. Most importantly, you do not explain convincingly why this actor would be a good person to open it; saying the actor is famous “to me and my company members” gives only a brief reason. The response also falls 20 words short of the required minimum. Add clear details about the theatre, make a polite and specific invitation, and develop the actor’s suitability with a relevant reason.
Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.5
There is a basic sequence: you introduce the company and theatre, move to the invitation, then mention a time and close with thanks. This gives the reader some sense of the letter’s purpose. However, the ideas are crowded into long, loosely connected sections, and the opening explanation is hard to follow. Connectors such as “because,” “and,” and “this time” are repeated or used without making the relationship between ideas clear; the final “and these coming and” is especially confusing. Use separate paragraphs for the theatre, invitation and reason, followed by a clear closing. Shorter sentences and more precise linking would make the progression easier to follow.
Lexical Resource: Band 4.5
Your vocabulary is sufficient to communicate a few basic points, including “new theatre,” “famous personality,” “guest,” and “invite.” However, the range is basic and repetitive, and several word choices or forms make the message difficult to interpret. For example, “entertaning place a small place” does not clearly describe the venue, while “the members of the entertaning team high” is unclear. There are also spelling errors such as “onwer” and “entertaning.” Choose precise terms for the theatre’s features and the actor’s role, and check spelling carefully. More natural phrases such as “opening ceremony” and “well-known actor” would help the letter sound clearer and more appropriate.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5
You communicate some simple information, but sentence structures are very limited and errors occur frequently, sometimes making meaning unclear. For example, “I am a Ali and i am a worker at entertainment company” has problems with articles and sentence formation, while “you will coming tomorrow” uses an incorrect verb form. The sentence about the owner deciding the time also shifts between “decide” and “he decide,” showing problems with tense and subject–verb agreement. Several ideas are joined into long sentences without clear punctuation, such as the opening explanation. Practise accurate simple sentences first, then combine related ideas using controlled clauses. Check articles, verb forms, agreement, capitalisation and sentence boundaries.
