Task Achievement
To elevate your letter further, consider adding more specific details about the party, such as the theme or the number of guests, to add depth to your reason for choosing a foreign recipe.
Coherence & Cohesion
Your letter flows well, but using a wider variety of connectors and transition phrases could enhance the coherence even further.
Task Response
You’ve done a great job of clearly explaining the reason for your party and why you’re interested in your friend’s specific recipe, which directly addresses the task.
Coherence & Cohesion
The structure of your letter is well-organized, with clear paragraphs for introducing the party, asking for the recipe, and explaining why you want it. This organization greatly aids the letter's readability and coherence.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
