Overall assessment

Why this response received Band 6.0

The letter covers all three required points with a courteous semi-formal tone and relevant details about the theatre and the invitation. Its main limitation is recurring grammatical and word-choice inaccuracy that frequently makes phrasing awkward, even though the overall message remains clear.

IELTS criteria

How each score was decided

Task Achievement

6.0

The letter addresses all three bullet points with relevant detail about the theatre, the invitation, and the actor's suitability, but awkward expressions like 'We cannot imagine to have you' and vague details such as 'On the 18th day' limit full achievement of the communicative purpose.

Coherence and Cohesion

6.0

Ideas follow a logical order with clear paragraphing and workable linking devices, though some transitions are mechanically or imprecisely produced, as in 'And that is why we need you'.

Lexical Resource

6.0

Vocabulary is adequate for the purpose with some attempts at less common items such as 'affiliated' and 'embark', but word-form and collocation errors like 'staffs', 'well-know', and 'a legendary' reduce precision.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

6.0

A range of structures is attempted, yet recurring grammatical errors, including 'your name have been', 'It was a 1000-capacity space', and 'imagine to have', are noticeable although the meaning remains mostly clear.
