This essay falls into the third or fourth band, given its completion of the prescribed task with considerable room for improvement.

**Score: 12-18**

**Strengths:**
1. The letter clearly conveys the main message; the writer is excited about Mike's visit and offers advice for his stay.
2. The writer manages to include details about the local weather and gives practical advice regarding clothing and transport.

**Areas for Improvement:**
1. **Grammar and Syntax:** There are several grammatical errors that affect the clarity of the message, such as "I feel is very happy" which should be "I am very happy."
   - "recentiy" should be corrected to "recently."
   - "there is usually a gently wind" should be corrected to "there is usually a gentle wind."

2. **Punctuation and Capitalization:**
   - Start with "Dear Mike," followed by a colon instead of writing it twice.
   - Sentences should begin with a capital letter, such as "There" instead of "there."
   - Use periods at the end of complete sentences to help with readability.

3. **Vocabulary and Word Choice:**
   - Instead of "by official transport," consider rephrasing to something clearer like "use official transportation."
   - The phrase "these day" should be "these days."

4. **Structure and Coherence:**
   - The letter could benefit from clearer paragraph structure. Each main point, like discussing the weather, safety tips, and local culture, could be separated into distinct paragraphs.
   - The flow of ideas can be improved by using transitional words or phrases.

5. **Tone and Style:**
   - Consider adding a warmer closing statement, such as "Best wishes" followed by your name, for a more polished ending.
