Band 5+: You attended a course that did not meet your expectations. Write a letter to the course administrator complaining about the course. You should include details about: - specifics of what you were expecting from the course - explanation of what was lacking or problematic during the course - what resolution you are looking for from the course administrator

The letter addresses all three bullet points required by the task, but the development of these points is somewhat thin. While you explained what the course was, why you attended, and what you want as compensation, the explanation of why the course failed to meet expectations is quite brief. To improve, you should expand on the 'disappointment' aspect - for example, by describing what actually happened during the sessions (e.g., was it too much theory? Was the equipment faulty?) to better justify your complaint. Additionally, ensure the tone remains consistently formal and professional throughout; phrases like 'I want some action from your side' can come across as slightly blunt in a formal complaint. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

The letter follows a logical progression, addressing all three bullet points from the task. However, the transitions between ideas are somewhat abrupt. To improve, use more sophisticated cohesive devices and linking words (e.g., 'Furthermore,' 'Consequently,' or 'Despite the advertised curriculum...') to create a smoother flow between the explanation of your needs and the description of the course's failures.

The vocabulary used is functional and clear, but it is somewhat basic and repetitive. For example, the word 'computer' and 'practical' are used frequently. To reach a higher band, try to incorporate more professional and varied terminology related to training and dissatisfaction, such as 'curriculum,' 'hands-on experience,' 'discrepancy,' or 'reimbursement.'

The grammar is generally accurate, and the meaning is clear, but the sentence structures are quite simple. There is a reliance on short, declarative sentences. To improve, try to use more complex sentence structures, such as relative clauses (e.g., 'The course, which was advertised as being highly practical, failed to...') and conditional sentences to express your expectations for compensation.
