Dear Mr Mathew,

I am writing to formally express my disappointment regarding the professional development workshop organized by our company.

I have been working our company since 2010 and have always participate all workshop conducted by our company. Recently our company conducted a professional development workshop which is include seminars, conference, debates. First I think a heard about this workshop. I think lots of practical sections are presented so I planned to attend.

unfortunately, the event gave disappointment because the duration of practical section is very less. Another problem is workshop arranged in a congested place. Moreover, there is no powerpoint presentation.

I have a suggestion for our future Workshop that is, it conducted in a large seminar hall with each section contain good powerpoint presentation. Increase the duration of practical section thereby gain new skills for the participants.

I hope you will consider my suggestion favorably, as this is very important matter for our company

Thank you for understanding

Yours sincerely

Stephen smith

Task Response

The letter addresses the general topic of providing feedback on a training course, but it fails to satisfy several specific requirements of the task. While you mentioned what the course was about, you did not explain why the course was useful to your work, nor did you suggest why it might not be suitable for your colleagues. Instead, the letter focuses almost entirely on complaints about the organization and suggestions for improvement. To improve, ensure that every bullet point in the prompt is addressed with sufficient detail. For example, even if the course was bad, you should still attempt to explain its intended utility or why its lack of utility makes it unsuitable for others. Additionally, ensure your tone remains consistent with the prompt's requirements.

Coherence & Cohesion

The organization of the letter follows the required structure, but the flow of ideas is hindered by poor sentence connections. While you address the prompts, the transition between your experience and your complaints is abrupt. To improve, use more sophisticated cohesive devices (e.g., 'Furthermore,' 'In addition to this,' 'Regarding the suitability for others') to link your thoughts. Ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic sentence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is quite limited and repetitive (e.g., using 'workshop' and 'company' frequently). There are also instances of incorrect word choices, such as 'practical sections' instead of 'practical sessions' and 'very less' instead of 'too short.' To reach a higher band, try to use more professional synonyms and collocations, such as 'hands-on training,' 'inadequate duration,' or 'unsuitable venue.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and occasionally impede the reader's understanding. There are significant issues with verb tenses (e.g., 'have always participate' should be 'have always participated'), subject-verb agreement, and sentence structure (e.g., 'which is include seminars'). You should focus on mastering basic tense consistency and the use of relative clauses. Additionally, pay attention to capitalization (e.g., 'unfortunately' and 'smith' should be capitalized).
