Student answer (Band 7.0)

Dear Arijit Singh,

I hope you doing well. I am writing to provide positive feedback on your last night performance.

I am really glad that I get chance to attend this concert, I feel so amazed by listening your song live because experienced which i get last night was unforgettable and This experienced was cannot compare with the one listening on You-Tube. The whole crowd go crazy on your entry, everyone was shouting your name and singing your song with you.

I also started learning music skills after getting encouraged by your podcast last year. I started to sing classical music with modern beats. I do my rehearsal every early morning with my instructor. I also started drinking warm water in order to clear my voice.

I really needed your assistance in mixing my voice with the beats. This is where I am getting a lot of difficulties. I think this is very common issue among new learners. You should address this problem by making a short course on You-Tube, Which might be very beneficial for student who is really struggling.

I look forward to hear from you soon.

Yours Sincerely,

Gautam Verma

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 7.5

The letter covers all three bullet points effectively. You clearly express your feelings about the performance, describe your musical activities, and make a specific request for help. The tone is appropriate for a letter to a performer, maintaining a respectful and enthusiastic register. The ideas are relevant and well-developed, ensuring the reader understands your purpose immediately. To reach a higher band, ensure that the connection between your musical activities and the request for help is even more explicit, perhaps by detailing exactly what kind of 'modern beats' you are experimenting with to provide more depth to your request.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 7.0

The letter is logically organized into clear paragraphs, each serving a distinct purpose. You use basic cohesive devices such as 'I also' and 'This is where' to link ideas. However, the flow between sentences is sometimes slightly mechanical. For example, the transition between the concert experience and your personal musical journey could be smoother with more sophisticated linking words. Additionally, some referencing is slightly repetitive. Improving the variety of your cohesive devices—using words like 'consequently', 'furthermore', or 'in light of this'—would help the text flow more naturally and improve the overall coherence.

Lexical Resource — Band 6.5

You demonstrate an adequate range of vocabulary for the task, using terms like 'rehearsal', 'beneficial', and 'struggling'. However, there are some inaccuracies in word choice and collocation, such as 'last night performance' (should be 'last night's performance') and 'experienced which i get' (should be 'experience which I had'). You rely on some basic phrasing, such as 'go crazy' and 'very common issue'. To improve, try to incorporate more precise collocations and avoid repeating simple verbs. Expanding your vocabulary to include more descriptive adjectives and nuanced verbs will help you convey your message with greater precision and sophistication.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 6.5

You use a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are frequent grammatical errors that occasionally distract the reader. Examples include 'I hope you doing well' (missing 'are'), 'I get chance' (missing 'a'), and 'This experienced was cannot compare' (incorrect verb usage). Punctuation is generally functional, but there are issues with capitalization and comma usage, such as 'You-Tube' and the comma splice in the second paragraph. While these errors do not prevent the message from being understood, they indicate a need for more consistent control over basic verb tenses, articles, and sentence construction to reach a higher band.
