Hello my dear friend,

I am writing to you to thanks for your recommendation, yoga courses were really nice, and were something new, but also I had another expectation about this course. I thinked that I would be relaxed into the process but it was opposite, I was stressed about if I do everything right, if someone is kiding on me, and I was only more stressed after de course. I was disappointed, I had a lot of expectation, maybe yoga is relaxing and helpful but it is not for me. Anyway, thanks for the recomandation it was a new experience for me.

I would like to suggest you another cours, a catering corse. For me was something interesting and full of adrenaline, when you raice agains someone. I think you would like it.

Sincerely, your friend, Andreea

Task Response

The letter generally addresses the task requirements, thanking the friend, explaining the disappointment, and suggesting an alternative. However, the explanation of why the course didn't meet expectations could be more detailed and clear. The language contains some errors that affect clarity. To improve, focus on providing more specific reasons for your disappointment and proofread carefully for grammatical errors. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter's organization is somewhat clear, but the flow of ideas could be improved. Consider using more cohesive devices to link sentences and paragraphs, making the transitions smoother. For example, adding phrases like 'However,' 'Furthermore,' or 'In addition to' can help guide the reader through your thoughts more effectively. Also, ensure each paragraph focuses on a single main point to enhance clarity.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and sometimes inaccurate. To improve, try to incorporate a wider range of vocabulary that is more precise and appropriate for the context. For instance, instead of saying 'were really nice,' you could use 'were quite enjoyable' or 'were very beneficial.' Also, pay attention to the correct usage of words to avoid inaccuracies.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Focus on improving sentence structure, verb tense consistency, and correct use of articles and prepositions. For example, 'thanks for your recommendation' should be 'thank you for your recommendation,' and 'I thinked' should be 'I thought.' Proofreading carefully and focusing on basic grammar rules will help enhance accuracy.
