Student answer (Band 7.5)

Dear Miral,

I hope you doing well. It was a great to hear from you that you are considering working in my country. I recently come across a vacancy at a local software company that I think suitable for you.

The company is looking for a customer service support. The job involved responding call and email inquires, solving basic technical issues, and working closely with the sales team. This is the a full time permeant job position with attractive employee benefits.

I think this role is idea for you because you have strong communication skill and previous experience in customer support. During our studying abroad, I noticed that how patient and helpful you were while working on the projects. In additional, your fluency in English would be an advantage.

To apply simply through the company's website, fill the form and attach your resume and cover latter. If you need any help with an application please feel free to let me know.

Best wishes,

Lipi pate.

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 8.5

The letter successfully addresses all three bullet points of the prompt. You clearly describe the job role, explain why it is a good fit for your friend based on their skills, and provide instructions on how to apply. The tone is appropriate for a letter to a friend, maintaining a friendly and helpful register throughout. The ideas are relevant and well-developed, ensuring the reader understands the purpose of the communication. No parts of the task are omitted, and the response is fully focused on the requirements provided in the instructions.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 7.5

The letter is logically organized with a clear introduction, body paragraphs for each requirement, and a closing. Paragraphing is used effectively to separate the different points. You use some cohesive devices such as 'In additional' (though this should be 'In addition') and 'During our studying abroad' to link ideas. While the flow is generally smooth, the transition between sentences could be slightly more sophisticated to reach a higher band. Overall, the information is easy to follow, and the progression of ideas is logical and consistent throughout the text.

Lexical Resource — Band 6.5

You demonstrate an adequate range of vocabulary for the task, such as 'vacancy', 'attractive employee benefits', and 'fluency'. However, there are some minor errors in word choice and spelling, such as 'permeant' instead of 'permanent', 'idea' instead of 'ideal', and 'latter' instead of 'letter'. These errors do not impede communication, but they do prevent the response from reaching a higher band. To improve, focus on ensuring that your word forms are correct and that you are using the precise terminology required for professional contexts.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 6.5

You use a mix of simple and complex sentence structures. However, there are several grammatical errors that occur throughout the text, such as 'I hope you doing well' (missing 'are'), 'It was a great to hear' (unnecessary 'a'), and 'The job involved responding call' (should be 'responding to calls'). While these errors are noticeable, they do not prevent the reader from understanding your message. To improve, pay closer attention to subject-verb agreement and the correct use of articles and prepositions in your final proofreading process.
