Hi my dear friend!How are you?When we met last month,you recommended me one good IELTS preparation course.Thank you for that.For your attention and recommendation.I immediately started this course with motivation.But,after few days ago I understand that the course is not beneficial and not as helpful as I expected.Because,tutors of this course are could not good explain to me thems and they are not do actions to develop my skills,such as writing and speaking.I said to them that i want practising speaking.But,they just are not pay attention to me.Also,I understand that I can’t study online in distance.I am very sorry and sad that this happened,that I could not finish this course.But,yesterday I found one new offline course on my city center.And today I visited my first lesson.It was an interesting lesson in my life and I liked it.The teachers are very carefull,patient and honest.If you search normal,amazing and good offline course-I recommend to you IELTS preparation center Life Guide.This center located in our city Taraz,in street Kazybek Bi,inside Buisness Plaza.

So,it is time to say goodbye!Thank you for all,for your recommendation and your worry about my IELTS.I understand more with your course-that I can’t study online and when I study distance I lose my focus,dicipline.Thank you that you with this course explain to me more about myself! Goodbye,I think we will meet again and talk about everything again.

From your lovely and best friend Inkar!

Task Response

7
The letter appropriately covers all requirements of the task, including thanking the friend, explaining why the course was not helpful, and suggesting an alternative. The content is relevant and sufficiently detailed. There are a few minor grammatical errors and awkward phrasings, but they do not significantly impede understanding. To improve, focus on refining sentence structure and word choice for greater clarity and fluency.

Coherence & Cohesion

5
The letter is generally understandable, but the organization could be improved. Consider grouping your points more logically, such as dedicating a paragraph solely to thanking your friend, another to explaining the course's shortcomings, and a final one to suggesting an alternative. This would enhance the flow and clarity of your message.

Lexical Resource

5
The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement. Try to use more precise and varied language to express your ideas. For example, instead of saying 'could not good explain,' you could say 'were unable to clearly explain.' Expanding your vocabulary will make your writing more engaging and effective.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

4
Grammar needs significant improvement. There are several errors in sentence structure, verb tense, and word choice throughout the letter. Focus on mastering basic grammar rules and sentence construction. Reviewing grammar exercises and seeking feedback on your writing can be very helpful.
