Dear Manager, Thank you for giving me opportunity to share my recommendations and feelings about the cafe. The Atmosphere of cafeteria is really pleasant. The menu is great which gives me delicious flavours. I like your workers since they are sociable and work very excellent. I think, you add new meals to the menu which it should attract to the visitors and guests. Also Foreign dishes are yummy too. Furthermore,You should give more attention to replacing comfortable furniture and new types of utensils. It is essential topic in the cafe. In addition, a large number of people are visiting in the cafe especially in the evening, for this reason you should expand the size of the cafe. Seating area would be convenient for us. Then guests spent their time without discomfort . I look forward to the cafe’s future improvements.

Best regards

Task Response

The letter is addressed to the manager instead of a friend, which is a major deviation from the task. It also does not specifically address the three questions about service speed, staff smiling, and the new meal. While it includes some feelings and recommendations, they are not clearly tied to the required points. To improve, address the letter to a friend, mention the specific aspects of your visit (service speed, staff attitude, new meal), and provide personal feelings and recommendations in an informal tone. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally easy to follow, but there are some issues with cohesion and paragraphing. The ideas are presented in a logical order, but the letter lacks clear paragraph breaks, making it a bit dense. Some sentences are long and could be broken down for better clarity. The use of cohesive devices is limited, and the transition between ideas could be smoother. Consider organizing the letter into clear paragraphs, each focusing on a single main point, and using linking words to connect ideas more effectively.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate for the task, but there is limited range and flexibility. Some phrases are repetitive (e.g., 'cafe' is used multiple times) and there are instances of awkward phrasing (e.g., 'work very excellent', 'it should attract to the visitors'). The tone is somewhat formal for an informal letter to a friend, which affects the naturalness of the language. To improve, use a wider range of vocabulary, including more descriptive and emotive words, and ensure the tone matches the informal context. Also, avoid direct translation from your native language and use more natural collocations.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are numerous grammatical errors and punctuation issues throughout the letter, which affect clarity and accuracy. Examples include: 'giving me opportunity' (missing article), 'work very excellent' (incorrect adverb usage), 'you add new meals' (incorrect tense), 'it should attract to the visitors' (incorrect preposition), 'Furthermore,You' (missing space after comma), and 'guests spent their time' (incorrect tense). The range of grammatical structures is limited, with a tendency to use simple sentences. To improve, focus on using a variety of sentence structures, ensure subject-verb agreement, use correct tenses, and pay attention to punctuation and articles. Proofreading the letter before submission would help catch these errors.
