Dear Sir/ Madam,

I am writing to provide feedback on a short cookery course that I have recently attended. It was an excellent experience and I have learned many new dishes to cook.

What I enjoyed about this course is during practical sessions, because at that time we could enable to interact with others and build good relationship. The class was quite fun and entertraning, which allow students to perform task without any hesitation.

After the course I prepared varieties of culinary especially from Korean andTibetan culture. During family gathering I made momo and it became salty and uneven taste. Eventhough it was tasteless, my family memebrs praised me for this, as it was my first attempt.

I would like to suggest school to offer Japanese cookry course as in India many people enjoy their food but its hard to get in restaurant. Therefore, students can open side business of cloud kitchen with their study. It would be cost-effective and convenient for customers and the seller as well, they can directly order from a digital platform.

I hope this feedback will assist you in the future.

Yours sincerely,

Choenyi

Task Response

The letter addresses all three prompts required by the task. You successfully described what you enjoyed, mentioned your subsequent cooking experiences, and suggested a new course. However, some parts of the response could be developed more clearly to ensure full coverage. For example, the explanation regarding the Japanese course shifts focus toward business models (cloud kitchens) rather than focusing primarily on the course content itself. To improve, ensure that every sentence directly supports the specific bullet point being addressed. Additionally, while the content is relevant, pay closer attention to grammatical accuracy and word choice (e.g., 'varieties of culinary' should be 'a variety of dishes') to ensure the ideas are communicated smoothly.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter follows the required structure and addresses all three bullet points, which helps the overall flow. However, the progression of ideas is sometimes interrupted by awkward phrasing. For example, the transition between describing the course and discussing the specific dishes made could be smoother. To improve, use more sophisticated cohesive devices and ensure that each paragraph has a clear, singular focus that links logically to the next.

Lexical Resource

You have attempted to use topic-specific vocabulary such as 'culinary', 'practical sessions', and 'cloud kitchen', which is good. However, there are several spelling errors (e.g., 'entertraning', 'memebrs', 'cookry') and word choice issues (e.g., 'prepared varieties of culinary' instead of 'varieties of culinary dishes'). To reach a higher band, focus on accuracy in spelling and ensure that adjectives and nouns are used in the correct collocations.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are frequent grammatical errors that occasionally make the reader pause to understand your meaning. Issues include subject-verb agreement ('which allow students'), incorrect verb structures ('we could enable to interact'), and missing articles or prepositions. While you attempt complex sentences, the control over these structures is inconsistent. I recommend practicing sentence structure fundamentals and reviewing how to use relative clauses and modal verbs correctly.
