Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to complain about the painting workshop I attended last Monday. I would like to point out some of aspects I was disatisfied with.

Firstly, we were supposed to start the workshop at 2pm, but the trainer came an hour late, which was disappointing, as all the participants were excited to start early. Secondly, there were not enough materials. As a result, we could only make one piece of artwork for each participant.

Finally, the trainer was not attentive. For instance, I tried to ask her for assistance regarding a specific technique that I wanted to learn, as it was the main reason why i booked for the workshop, but unfortunately, she pretended to be on the phone when I asked i tried to ask.

I would appreciate it you address these points, as they play a significant role in improving your workshops.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Khaoula,

Task Response

The letter adequately addresses the task by explaining the dissatisfaction with the painting workshop, providing specific examples, and suggesting improvements. However, the language could be more precise and sophisticated. To improve, focus on using a wider range of vocabulary and more complex sentence structures to express your points more effectively.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally well-organized and easy to follow. The use of 'Firstly,' 'Secondly,' and 'Finally' helps to structure the complaints clearly. However, consider adding transition phrases to further link ideas between paragraphs and sentences for smoother flow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement. Using more varied and precise language could enhance the impact of your complaints. For example, instead of 'not attentive,' you could use 'inattentive' or 'unresponsive.' Also, 'disatisfied' is misspelled; the correct spelling is 'dissatisfied.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are a few grammatical errors that affect the clarity of the letter. For example, 'some of aspects I was disatisfied with' should be 'some aspects I was dissatisfied with.' Also, the sentence 'I asked i tried to ask' contains a typo and repetition. Proofreading carefully to correct these errors will improve the overall impression.
