Dear Sir or Madam,

I am witing to express my dissatisfaction about a training programme that was held on 20th October for the employees skill improvement. I feel that the session was not useful.

The training session was about the improvements of employees communication skill and task management. However, I found it unhelpful as our team want practicle training on advanced technology, how to run new apps and how to encooperate them during our daily task at office. Many office workers were not interested and few take part in the training session, as the trainning session was at two hours drive. Furthermore, we have already taken the task management training last year, and this year we were expecting that the training will be about technology and artificial inteligence. We got dissapointed as we have already covered these topics and are doing well as we are polished in communication skill and task management.

I would appreciate it if you could ask the empolyees first before arranging any future training programme, about there requirements. Moreover, arrange the trainning in the office, it will saves time and money of the employees. In this way employees will participate with enthusiasam, and learn new skills with passion. It will benefits the company too.

I look forward to you for hearing your response and hope you will lookafter this matter. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Yours faithfully,

Bisma Malik

Task Response

The letter addresses all three bullet points: it explains the training session attended, describes why it was unhelpful, and suggests improvements. However, there are some inaccuracies and irrelevant details that detract from the task achievement. For example, the mention of the two-hour drive is not directly related to the usefulness of the session, and the statement that 'many office workers were not interested' is vague and not fully supported. The suggestions are relevant but could be more specific. To improve, focus on providing clear, concise reasons for the session's lack of usefulness, and ensure all details directly support your main points. Additionally, proofread for spelling and grammar errors to enhance clarity.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally organized into paragraphs, each addressing a bullet point, which helps the reader follow the message. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear references (e.g., 'we got disappointed as we have already covered these topics' could be clearer). The use of cohesive devices is limited, and some sentences are long and run-on, making the message harder to follow. To improve, use clearer topic sentences and link ideas more smoothly with conjunctions and transitional phrases.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there are several spelling errors (e.g., 'witing', 'practicle', 'encooperate', 'trainning', 'inteligence', 'dissapointed', 'empolyees', 'there', 'enthusiasam', 'lookafter') and some word choices are imprecise (e.g., 'improvements of employees communication skill' should be 'improvement in employees' communication skills'). The range of vocabulary is limited, and the tone is sometimes informal (e.g., 'we are polished'). To improve, expand your vocabulary, use more precise terms, and proofread for spelling errors.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains numerous grammatical errors, including subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'our team want' should be 'our team wants'), incorrect verb forms (e.g., 'it will saves' should be 'it will save'), and missing articles (e.g., 'the training session was at two hours drive' should be 'a two-hour drive'). There are also issues with punctuation and sentence structure, such as run-on sentences. While some complex structures are attempted, they are often incorrect. To improve, focus on basic grammar rules, practice writing clear and concise sentences, and review punctuation.
