Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing with regard to a missed flight due to a problem at the airport.

I will describe the situation for better understanding. I arrived at the airport early and went through passport control. Then, while I was waiting in the waiting hall, suddenly I realized that flight time has been changed it without any announcement so I missed the flight because I did not know when the plane flies.

This flight was too important for me. I had a critical meeting in Russia I wanted to meet with Russians’ most famous programmers to solve some problems of our massive project.

Now it is too late for meeting, so I want your airline to give my money back or free ticket to next flight. If you are not agree with this offer, please give me at least half of my money.

Kind regards,

Task Response

The letter adequately addresses the task by describing the incident, explaining the impact, and stating the desired action. There are some minor areas for improvement. For instance, the explanation of how the missed flight impacted you could be more detailed. Also, the tone could be more assertive when stating what you expect the airline to do. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally coherent, but the organization could be improved. Consider dedicating a separate paragraph to each of the points mentioned in the task instructions: describing the incident, explaining the impact, and stating the desired action. Transition words could also be used to link ideas more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement. Using more precise and varied vocabulary could enhance the letter. For example, instead of 'problem at the airport,' you could specify the nature of the problem. Also, avoid informal language. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, 'flight time has been changed it' is grammatically incorrect. Review and correct these errors to improve accuracy. Also, ensure correct tense usage and subject-verb agreement throughout the letter.
