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 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. Or 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 there by gain new skills for the participants.

I hope you will considered my suggestions favorably, as this is very important matter for our company growth.

Thank you for understanding

Yours sincerely

Stephen smith

Task Response

The letter addresses the requirements of the task, but it fails to follow the specific prompts provided in the instructions. While you mentioned what the course was about, you did not clearly 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 and suggestions for improvement. To improve, ensure that every bullet point in the task is addressed with sufficient detail. For example, even if the course was bad, you should still attempt to explain what specific skills it was intended to teach and how those skills relate to your job role to satisfy the 'why it was useful' prompt.

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, the problems, and the suggestions is abrupt. To improve, use more sophisticated cohesive devices (e.g., 'Furthermore,' 'In addition to this,' 'Consequently') and ensure that each paragraph has a clear, central topic sentence that links back to the main purpose of the letter.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is quite basic and repetitive (e.g., using 'workshop' and 'company' multiple times in short succession). 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 a wider range of professional synonyms and collocations, such as 'hands-on training,' 'insufficient duration,' or 'congested venue.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and occur in almost every sentence. There are significant issues with verb tenses (e.g., 'have always participate' instead of 'have always participated'), subject-verb agreement, and sentence structure (e.g., 'which is include seminars'). Additionally, there are errors in preposition usage and capitalization. Focus on mastering basic sentence structures and ensuring that your verb tenses are consistent throughout the letter. Practicing the use of complex sentences with relative clauses (who, which, that) will also help improve your score.

Dear Mr. Hashemi, I am writing to let you know about the amount of rent you have increased from 500$ to 1200$, which is more than regular rent prices. In addition, I find it inappropriate in terms of the rent price and the facilities you offer me. As I am a university student, I consulted […]
