Dear Sarah,

I write this letter to show sincere appreciation concerning the seminar you recommended and to also give feedback regarding the activities. I am grateful for the opportunity and also having me in mind.

I really had great expectations as it’s a conference that is in line with my field of study and I saw it as a means to upgrade my skill. Unfortunately, the program was subpar, because they taught just the basic aspect of most of the given topics.

Furthermore, the presenters lack in depth knowledge and were not able to provide advanced informations. I found the lecture less helpful because I have attended a similar program and was hoping this recommendation would teach things that would hone my skill as I seek to become more professional in my career path.

In my opinion, the next webinar we will attend should be hosted by a professional to pass across an indepth knowledge on the expected syllabus and the resources should be provided prior to the event.

Yours sincerely,

Faith

Task Response

7

The letter addresses all parts of the task, thanking the friend, explaining the disappointment, and suggesting an alternative. The content is relevant and well-organized. To improve, consider elaborating further on the suggested alternative activity to make it more appealing and specific.

Coherence & Cohesion

6

The letter is generally coherent, but the organization could be improved for better flow. Consider structuring your points more clearly, perhaps dedicating a paragraph to each main point (thanking Sarah, explaining your disappointment, and suggesting an alternative). Transition words could also be used more effectively to link ideas within paragraphs.

Lexical Resource

6

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room to enhance it with more precise and varied word choices. For example, instead of 'subpar,' you could use 'disappointing' or 'below expectations.' Explore synonyms to add depth to your writing.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

5

The letter contains grammatical errors that occasionally impede understanding. Focus on improving sentence structure and ensuring correct verb tense usage. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement and the proper use of articles (a, an, the).
