Overall assessment

Why this response received Band 7.0

The letter's strongest aspect is its clear, friendly tone and complete coverage of all three bullet points with concrete details such as naming friends to contact. The main limitation is a somewhat simple and occasionally imprecise use of vocabulary and grammar, with a few awkward phrasings that reduce polish rather than meaning.

IELTS criteria

How each score was decided

Task Achievement

7.0

The letter covers all three bullet points from the prompt, including the cafe or banquet hall event, the reason of recalling college memories, and the specific help needed to reach two friends, using an appropriately warm and friendly register.

Coherence and Cohesion

7.0

Ideas are logically organised into greeting, purpose, explanation, and request, with workable linking devices such as 'Another reason' and 'Along with that', though some connections feel slightly mechanical.

Lexical Resource

6.5

Vocabulary is adequate and natural for an informal letter but somewhat limited in range, with imprecise collocations such as 'I am writing this letter to organise a get-together' phrased awkwardly and 'doing good' for 'doing well'.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

6.5

A reasonable variety of sentence structures is used with generally accurate tenses, but errors such as the misplaced relative clause 'which was very famous' and inconsistent comma use show imperfect control.
