Student answer (Band 7.0)

Dear Ram,

I am writing this letter regarding your performance in the concert that I attended on last week Friday.

I was really impressed with the way you sang all the songs. I noticed that you got this unique voice and it made you to stand out from all the singers on that day. You sang both melodies and fast beat songs so effortless which caught my attention.

I recently started practicing singing and attending classes with a local well know music teacher. Being a beginner as a singer I was facing some difficulties in singing high pitch songs. Moreover sometimes my throat hurts when I sing continuously for more than 15 minutes.

I seek your help regarding to get some tips regarding singing high pitch songs. Also can you share the secret of how to sing for longer period as in the concert without hurting your throat.

Appreciate your help and Looking forward to your response.

Yours faithfully

Sai Pa

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 7.5

The response covers all three bullet points required by the prompt. You clearly express your admiration for the singer's performance, describe your current musical activities, and explain the specific help you are seeking. The tone is appropriate for a letter to a performer, and the purpose of the communication is clear throughout. To improve, you could expand slightly on the 'musical activities' section by mentioning how long you have been practicing or what specific genre you are focusing on, which would add more depth to your ideas and help you reach a higher band level.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 7.0

The letter is logically organized with a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and a closing. Each paragraph focuses on a specific aspect of the prompt, which helps the reader follow your ideas easily. You use basic cohesive devices such as 'Moreover' and 'Also' to link your sentences. However, the flow could be improved by using a wider variety of linking words and transition phrases to connect your ideas more fluidly. For example, instead of starting sentences with 'Also', you could use more sophisticated transitions like 'Furthermore' or 'In addition to this'.

Lexical Resource — Band 6.5

You demonstrate an adequate range of vocabulary for the task, such as 'impressed', 'unique', and 'effortless'. There are some minor inaccuracies in word choice, such as 'well know' (should be 'well-known') and 'regarding to get' (should be 'regarding how to get'). While your vocabulary is sufficient to convey your message clearly, you rely on some repetitive phrasing. To achieve a higher score, try to incorporate more precise collocations and less common vocabulary related to music, such as 'vocal range', 'technique', or 'stamina'.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 6.5

You use a mix of simple and complex sentence structures. There are several grammatical errors, such as 'on last week Friday' (should be 'last Friday'), 'made you to stand out' (should be 'made you stand out'), and 'as in the concert' (should be 'as you did in the concert'). Additionally, there are some punctuation issues, such as missing commas after introductory phrases. While these errors do not impede communication, they occur frequently enough to prevent a higher score. Focusing on subject-verb agreement and the correct use of infinitives will significantly improve your accuracy.
