Dear Sir, I am writing to you to express my deep dissatisfaction with my visit to your restaurant last night. I feel the experience I had was well below the standard you normally offer.

I ordered as always my favorite dish at your restaurant. The dish was nothing like it usually is, it was absolutely tasteless. The meat was dry and no seasonings were used, it was basicaly inedible.

When I talked about the problem with the waiter, not only he didn’t offer any solution or compensation for the problem, he was also wery rude.

I was deeply offended by his behaviour. Because of this I must insist on a full refund and I also think I am entitled to an apology. I hope this matter can be solved promptly.

Best regards Jon Doe

Task Response

The letter effectively addresses all three required points: describing the food problem, complaining about the service, and stating a desired resolution. The tone is appropriate and the content is relevant. However, there are some minor language errors (e.g., 'basicaly', 'wery', 'not only he didn't') and the letter could be slightly more detailed or polished. To improve, consider proofreading for spelling and grammar, and adding a bit more specific detail about the food and service issues. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is well-organized with clear paragraphing: introduction, food issues, service complaint, and resolution request. Cohesion is generally smooth, with transitions like 'When I talked about the problem' and 'Because of this'. However, the flow could be slightly improved by more varied linking words and a clearer progression between ideas. For example, adding a sentence to connect the food and service complaints would enhance coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is appropriate and conveys the message effectively, with phrases like 'deep dissatisfaction', 'well below the standard', and 'entitled to an apology'. However, there are some spelling errors ('basicaly', 'wery') and less sophisticated word choices. To improve, use a wider range of vocabulary and avoid repetitive structures. For instance, instead of 'I was deeply offended by his behaviour', consider 'His conduct was utterly unacceptable and left me deeply offended'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter uses a mix of sentence structures, but there are grammatical inaccuracies such as 'not only he didn't offer' (should be 'not only did he not offer') and missing articles ('as always my favorite dish' could be 'as always, my favorite dish'). Punctuation is mostly correct, but some commas are missing. To reach a higher band, focus on complex structures and proofreading for errors. For example, 'The meat was dry and no seasonings were used' could be 'The meat was dry and lacked seasoning'.
