Write a letter to this famous actor. In your letter

Dear........,

Student answer (Band 6.0)

Dear Sir,

I hope this letter finds you well. As I work for an entertainment company "let's entertain", which is going to open a new theatre to have extra space for audience.

This theatre is one of the largest in the country and the thing which makes it special is it's location. It is located on the top floor, with full view of the city.

It has the capacity of five thousand people and the fee is also affordable.

I would like to invite you to join our opening ceremony as a "chief guest" on the coming Sunday, which I guess would be feasible for you to give us some time.

I believe that you will be the best crowd fuller, because you are the famous personality in the entertainment company and this will help in the promotion of our company.

I am looking forward to a positive response from you and hope that you will join us.

Yours sincerely ,

Asad

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

You address all three required points: you describe the theatre’s size, location and capacity, invite the actor to the opening, and explain that their fame could help promote the company. The details about its position “on the top floor” and its view of the city make the description relevant. However, some ideas are less fully developed than others. The invitation gives a specific day, but “the coming Sunday” is vague without a date or time, and the reason for choosing this actor focuses mainly on attracting a crowd rather than their particular achievements or connection to the theatre. A more personal, specific explanation would make the invitation more persuasive and complete.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.5

The letter follows a clear overall sequence: an opening, information about the theatre, the invitation, a reason for inviting the actor, and a closing. This makes the purpose easy to follow, and phrases such as “I would like to invite you” clearly signal the main request. The ideas are also grouped into short paragraphs. To make the organisation more polished, use clearer transitions between the theatre description and the invitation, and avoid packing several details into one sentence. The opening sentence, for example, combines your role, the company name and the theatre’s purpose. More deliberate paragraphing and smoother links would build on the coherent structure already present.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You use a range of relevant vocabulary, including “opening ceremony,” “capacity,” “affordable” and “promotion,” so the reader can understand the main message. There are also attempts at more specific description, such as “full view of the city.” However, several word choices or collocations are inaccurate or unnatural: “extra space for audience,” “crowd fuller” and “famous personality in the entertainment company” do not express your meaning naturally. The phrase “chief guest” is understandable but may sound less suitable than a direct invitation to perform the opening. Aim for precise, conventional expressions and check possessives such as “its location”; this will make the letter sound more fluent and professional.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.5

You use both simple sentences and some more complex forms, including “which I guess would be feasible for you” and “because you are…,” and the message remains understandable. Some grammatical errors are present, particularly in sentence construction and articles. The opening sentence beginning “As I work for…” is incomplete as written, while “for audience” needs an article or plural form. In “you are the famous personality,” the article is not appropriate in this general statement. There are also punctuation and possessive-form issues, such as the quotation marks around the company name and “it's location.” Review sentence boundaries and article use, while continuing to practise complex sentences; greater control would make the letter more polished.
