Student answer (Band 6.0)
Dear Mr.Malik,
I am writing to express a contructive feedback regarding the concert last night at Rogers center.
There were a number of musicians, who performed in the concert quiet well. However I attended numerous events, I have never seen an excellent singer, who gave such a fabulous performance. It was an honour to attend a musical show, and got chance to see you.
As I am also working as a lyricist, I wrote numerous songs for the local singers. Although I have a small musical studio, where I invited some of the known artist, who attempt practice of my lyrics.
Actually, I would like you to assist me with the classical lyrics. I listened a number of your classical songs, which are quiet famous. Currently I am also working with the traditional lyrics, and i would like to invite you in the studio to try those lyrics in your song, it will help me to understand the rythem of the classical music.
I hope that you could help me with this matter.
Kind regards
Parwinder Kaur

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 6.0
The response covers all three bullet points required by the task prompt. The student successfully describes feelings about the performance, stating it was 'a fabulous performance' and an 'honour'. Details of musical activities are provided by mentioning working as a lyricist with a small studio. Furthermore, the student explains how they would like the singer to help, specifically by trying traditional lyrics in a song to help understand the rhythm of classical music. However, the tone fluctuates slightly, and some ideas could be extended more smoothly. Overall, the communication of the letter's purpose is clear, fulfilling the band 6 requirements adequately.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 6.0
The letter follows a logical paragraph structure, addressing one main theme per paragraph, such as the concert feedback, musical background, and the request for assistance. Salutations and sign-offs are correctly placed. However, cohesive devices are sometimes mechanical or slightly faulty, such as 'However I attended numerous events' instead of 'Although I have attended...'. Referencing is mostly clear, but transitions between sentences occasionally feel abrupt, restricting the score to a solid band 6.
Lexical Resource — Band 6.0
The vocabulary used is adequate for the task, with attempts at less common items like 'contructive feedback', 'fabulous performance', and 'lyricist'. However, there are notable spelling and word-choice errors, such as 'contructive' instead of 'constructive', 'quiet well' instead of 'quite well', 'rythem' instead of 'rhythm', and 'attempt practice' which is unnatural collocation. These errors do not impede overall communication, placing the performance comfortably within the band 6 descriptor.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 6.0
The student demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence forms, such as conditional and subordinate clauses like 'Although I have a small musical studio, where I invited some of the known artist...'. There are several grammatical inaccuracies, including subject-verb agreement errors ('artists, who attempt', 'I listened a number of'), preposition errors ('invite you in the studio'), and punctuation issues. Despite these frequent minor errors, they rarely impede communication, aligning the grammar with band 6.
