Task Response

The letter addresses all three bullet points required by the task, which is a positive aspect. However, the development of these points is limited. While you mention the course was for beginners, the instructor's lack of expertise, and your desire for a refund or a free course, the explanations lack depth and clarity. To improve, you should expand on your points with more specific details (e.g., the exact name of the course, the dates attended, and specific examples of what was missing from the 'practical' content). Additionally, while this assessment focuses on Task Response, please note that significant grammatical errors and spelling mistakes occasionally make it difficult to understand your intended meaning, which can impact how well your points are communicated to the reader.

Coherence & Cohesion

The organization of the letter is somewhat logical as it follows the bullet points provided in the task. However, the flow is heavily disrupted by grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. To improve, use clearer transition words (e.g., 'Furthermore', 'Consequently', 'Regarding the compensation') and ensure that each paragraph focuses on one clear idea. The connection between sentences is often weak, making it difficult for the reader to follow the argument smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is quite limited and contains many spelling and word-choice errors (e.g., 'principiant' instead of 'beginner', 'whit' instead of 'with', 'containt' instead of 'content', 'invertions' instead of 'investments'). These errors occasionally make it difficult to understand the intended meaning. To improve, focus on learning the correct spelling of common professional terms and expanding your range of adjectives to describe your dissatisfaction more precisely.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are frequent grammatical errors throughout the text, including issues with verb tense ('I writting', 'he no was'), sentence structure, and subject-verb agreement. Punctuation and capitalization are also inconsistent. To improve, practice basic sentence structures (Subject + Verb + Object) and study the use of past tenses for describing completed events. Aim for accuracy in simple sentences before attempting more complex structures.
