Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.5

You address the main situation by praising the singer, recalling a concert, and mentioning a planned music show. The details about enjoying her songs and feeling better when listening to them make your admiration clear. However, the task’s three points are not all fully covered: your musical activities are only hinted at through “our musical school” and the planned show, and the request for help is vague. “Please try to come” asks the singer to attend, but does not explain what role or support you want from him. Develop these points with specific information, such as what instrument or singing you practise and whether you want him to perform, advise, or lead a workshop.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The letter follows a generally understandable order: you introduce your admiration, describe the concert, then mention a future event and close politely. This gives the reader a basic sense of progression. However, several ideas are crowded into long sentences, and the links between them are sometimes unclear. For example, the opening combines the concert details, your viewing habits, and your favourite song without clear sentence boundaries. The shift to “next month” is abrupt, and the invitation request would be easier to follow in its own paragraph. Use shorter sentences, separate the praise from your musical activities, and make the request a distinct final body paragraph.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some relevant vocabulary for the topic, including “concert,” “melody songs,” “musical school,” and “music show,” so the reader can understand the general subject. However, the range is limited and several word choices or collocations are inaccurate or unclear, such as “glad to be big fan,” “heart touching one,” and “stressfully.” Spelling and capitalisation are also inconsistent, including “faovrite,” “Toronato,” and “Netfix.” These errors sometimes make the message less natural and require the reader to interpret your meaning. Build a wider set of expressions for describing a performance and musical experience, and check spelling and word forms carefully.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You communicate the basic message using simple statements and some attempts to connect ideas, but the range of sentence structures is limited and errors occur frequently. For example, “recently you had one of the famous music show was conducted” combines incompatible structures; a clearer form would be “You recently performed at a famous music show.” There are also problems with articles, agreement, and verb forms in “you sung the my favourite movie song” and “I had talk with your manager.” Punctuation and sentence boundaries are often missing, creating run-on sentences. Practise forming complete sentences with consistent past and present tenses, and use full stops to separate each main idea.
