Hei Dimas,

I have attended a workshop in my university held by Hyundai. It was really helpfull because it is free for our university alumni and also they have career track for the participants of the workshop. By the way thankyou for your recomendation to attended that workshop. It really helped me a lot for my job. You know that I currently working in a car repair shop. Because of that workshop, know I had an opportunity to train my coworkers from what I got from the workshop. If you have leisure time, I would like to ask you to come to our car repair shop.

Warm Regards,

Fatwa

Task Response

The letter addresses the task, but it includes some irrelevant information (e.g., the workshop being free and having a career track). The examples of how the workshop helped are vague. To improve, provide more specific details about what you learned and how it directly benefited your work. Also, make the invitation to reconnect more explicit and personal. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally understandable, but the organization could be improved. Consider dedicating separate paragraphs to each of the points mentioned in the task instructions: gratitude, specific examples, and the invitation. This will enhance the flow and clarity of your letter.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for conveying the message, but there's room for improvement. Try to use more varied and specific vocabulary related to workshops and career development. For example, instead of 'really helpful,' you could use 'invaluable' or 'beneficial.' Also, consider using more precise language when describing the workshop's impact.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains grammatical errors that affect clarity. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement, correct tense usage, and article usage. For example, 'thankyou for your recomendation to attended that workshop' should be 'thank you for your recommendation to attend that workshop.' Proofread carefully to minimize these errors.
