Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 7.5

You have addressed all three bullet points of the task effectively. You clearly described the job at Sigma Limited, explained why your friend's experience makes him a strong candidate, and provided a clear process for applying. The tone is appropriate for a letter to a friend. To reach a higher band, you could provide more specific details about the company culture or the 'starting package' to make the letter feel more authentic and fully developed. Overall, the purpose of the letter is clear and the response is well-focused.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 7.0

The letter is logically organized with a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and a closing. You use some cohesive devices like 'Moreover' and 'Additionally' to link ideas. However, some transitions feel a bit mechanical, and the paragraphing could be improved by separating the job description from the application instructions more distinctly. The referencing is generally clear, though the sentence 'One of my friend is working in that firm' contains a minor grammatical error that slightly affects the flow. Overall, the progression of ideas is easy to follow.

Lexical Resource — Band 6.5

You demonstrate an adequate range of vocabulary for this task, using terms like 'multinational company', 'position', and 'updated CV'. However, there are some inaccuracies in word choice and collocation, such as 'branches among worldwide' (should be 'branches worldwide') and 'promising to getting' (should be 'promising for getting'). You also use 'freshers', which is common in some regions but less standard in international English. Expanding your range to include more precise collocations would help elevate your score.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 6.5

You use a mix of simple and complex sentence structures. There are several grammatical errors, such as 'even though the experience is additional advantage' (missing articles) and 'Yours 2 year work experience' (should be 'Your'). Additionally, 'they are proving very good starting package' should be 'they are offering'. While these errors are noticeable, they do not impede communication. To improve, focus on subject-verb agreement, article usage, and ensuring that complex sentences are constructed with greater accuracy.
