Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 7.0

The letter covers all three bullet points required by the task. You clearly describe the job as a supervisor in a multinational company, explain why it suits your friend by referencing their previous experience, and provide instructions on how to apply. The tone is appropriate for a letter to a friend. To reach a higher band, you could expand slightly on the nature of the work or the company to provide more detail, as some points are currently quite brief. However, the task is fully addressed.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 6.5

The letter is logically organized into clear paragraphs, with each paragraph focusing on one of the required points. There is a clear progression of ideas from the introduction to the conclusion. You use some basic cohesive devices, such as 'As I know' and 'To apply for the job'. However, the flow could be improved by using a wider range of linking words and ensuring that transitions between sentences are smoother. The current structure is functional but somewhat mechanical.

Lexical Resource — Band 6.0

You have an adequate range of vocabulary for the task, such as 'multinational company', 'international clients', and 'recruitment form'. There are some spelling errors, such as 'produt' instead of 'product' and 'complany' instead of 'company'. Additionally, some word choices are slightly unnatural, such as 'respond you for your enquiry' (should be 'respond to your enquiry'). While these errors do not impede communication, they limit the score. Using more precise collocations would improve your lexical range.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 6.0

You use a mix of simple and complex sentence structures. However, there are several grammatical errors throughout the text, such as missing articles ('in multinational company' should be 'in a multinational company', 'supervisor position' should be 'a supervisor position') and tense/preposition issues ('I hope this information help' should be 'helps'). While the meaning is generally clear, these frequent minor errors prevent a higher score. Focusing on subject-verb agreement and the correct use of articles would significantly improve your accuracy.
