task response

Score: 5. You answer some parts, but you do not clearly say how your own town is different. Add one clear part about your town, with real examples. Also, ask the writer to come on a tour of your town, not all town centres.

task response

Your first paragraph says you agree that towns are different, but the question says you do not fully agree that they look the same. Say this more clearly: some town centres may look alike, but many are different.

coherence and cohesion

Score: 5. The letter has a clear start, middle, and end. However, some ideas do not link well. The part about close friends does not clearly help your main point about how town centres look.

coherence and cohesion

Use one main idea in each paragraph: first, what you agree with; next, how your town is different; last, invite the writer. This will make the letter easier to follow.

task response

You use a polite letter style and you show your view about the article.

coherence and cohesion

The greeting and ending are good. “Dear Sir or Madam” and “Yours faithfully” are the right form.
