task achievement
Try to elaborate a bit more on how Devarsh has been feeling and why the party will help him. This will provide a more complete response to the prompt.
coherence and cohesion
Ensure each paragraph conveys a single clear idea. For example, combining the reasons for the party with the date and time information in one paragraph can be split into two.
greeting and closing
The greeting and closing are appropriately used, adding a polite tone to the letter.
logical structure
The logical structure of the letter is clear, with a defined introduction, body, and conclusion.

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.
