Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.5

You address all three required points: you describe the theatre’s sound and 3D display, invite the actor to open it, and explain that their fame could attract customers. The purpose is clear, and the details about the gym, table-tennis court and food stalls make the venue more specific. However, the explanation of why this particular actor is suitable is brief and focused mainly on attracting customers; a personal link to their acting career or contribution to the arts would develop this point more fully. The opening date is given, but the event itself could be described more clearly. The response covers the task well overall, while some ideas remain less developed than others.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.5

The letter has a clear overall sequence: the invitation and date come first, followed by theatre details, the request to open it, and the reason for choosing the actor. Paragraphing helps distinguish these points, and connectors such as “On top of that” and “Moreover” guide the reader. Some transitions feel mechanical, however, and the repeated use of “I would like” makes the progression less flexible. The sentence beginning “The management has decided…” is also awkwardly connected to the explanation that follows, so the relationship between the decision and the actor’s suitability is not fully smooth. Use a wider range of natural links and make references between ideas more explicit.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You use some relevant vocabulary for a formal invitation, including “newly built theatre,” “grand opening,” “management,” and “attracts our customer.” The descriptions of the facilities also show an attempt to be specific. However, several spelling and word-choice errors reduce precision, such as “inaugration,” “dolbly,” and “amnities.” Some phrases are unnatural or unclear, including “valuable insight of our establishments,” “cut a red ribbon for us,” and “doing grand opening by your hand.” Choose conventional collocations for invitations and describe the actor’s role directly. The range is sufficient to communicate the main message, but more accurate spelling and natural phrasing would make the letter easier and more professional to read.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.5

The response includes both simple statements and attempts at longer structures, for example the sentence explaining that the actor is well known and could attract customers. The main message remains understandable, but some grammatical errors affect clarity and control. In “which consists 3D display,” the verb pattern and article are incomplete; “which consists of a 3D display” would be more accurate. “If you can accept our request” would fit the formal request better as “if you could accept our request.” There are also issues with sentence boundaries and capitalization, such as “On top of that, It,” and the final sentence needs a complete, consistent construction. Review articles, verb patterns, and punctuation while retaining your attempts at complex sentences.
