Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing regarding the English course I recently took at an evening school at your organization.

To begin with, I would like to explain about the course I am taking at your institution first. This course is about an English class, speaking in particular because I want to escalate my English speaking comprehensive. This class takes place in 2B room, right next to the upstairs.

Unfortunately, I encountered something I dislike about this course. In the brochure I read before deciding to sign up, stated that it was for advanced learners. However, it turns out that it is for beginners. Consequently, I barely notice progress in my English speaking skills. In addition, the handbook used in the class is written in a basic written, which cannot help me improve my vocabulary.

I is advisable that the handbook should be written in accordance to the classified class so that students can gain not only useful materials, but also new vocabulary. On top of that, there should be a placement test to classify whoever wants to join.

Thank you for your attention. I am looking forward to your response.

Yours faithfully,

Reza

Task Response

The letter addresses all three bullet points: it describes the course, explains the complaint, and gives an opinion on what should be done. The purpose is clear and the tone is appropriate. However, there are some lapses in clarity and accuracy (e.g., 'escalate my English speaking comprehensive' should be 'improve my English speaking comprehension', 'I is advisable' should be 'It is advisable', and 'in accordance to' should be 'in accordance with'). These minor errors do not detract significantly from the overall task achievement, but improving grammatical accuracy and word choice would enhance the response.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is well-organized with clear paragraphs for each required point. The flow is logical, and the message is easy to follow. Minor improvements could be made by using more varied cohesive devices to enhance the smoothness of transitions between ideas.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is appropriate and generally accurate, with some good attempts at sophistication (e.g., 'escalate', 'comprehensive', 'in accordance to'). However, there are a few awkward or imprecise word choices (e.g., 'escalate' instead of 'improve', 'comprehensive' instead of 'comprehension', 'basic written' instead of 'basic writing style'). Using more precise and natural vocabulary would elevate the lexical range. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is largely accurate with a good range of sentence structures. There are a few minor errors (e.g., 'I is advisable' should be 'It is advisable', 'in accordance to' should be 'in accordance with'), but these do not impede understanding. Overall, the grammar is controlled and appropriate for the task.
