Overall assessment

The letter covers all three bullet points with a clear purpose and relevant detail about Poutine, and the tone is suitably friendly and semi-formal. Its main limitation is recurring grammatical and lexical inaccuracy, including 'take participate', 'the informations', and misused linkers, which makes several sentences awkward and sometimes requires the reader to infer the intended meaning.

TA

Task Achievement

The letter addresses all three bullets—offering to make Poutine, describing its ingredients and origin, and explaining its appeal to guests—with an appropriate semi-formal tone, though some ideas are briefly or awkwardly developed.

6.5
CC

Coherence and Cohesion

Progression through the bullet points is clear and paragraphing is logical, but cohesive devices are sometimes mechanical or inaccurate, as in 'While, I was going through' and 'Apart from it'.

6.0
LR

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate for the purpose, with topic-appropriate words such as 'gravy' and 'aroma', but errors such as 'take participate', 'the informations book', and 'taste is speechless' reduce precision.

6.0
GRA

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

A mix of simple and complex structures is attempted, yet frequent errors in subject-verb agreement, articles, and verb forms ('most of people bringing', 'its not too complicated and involve') are noticeable while meaning remains mostly clear.

6.0

What to work on next

Revise common grammar and word-choice errors, particularly verb patterns, pluralisation, and linking devices, while keeping the clear structure already present.
