Dear Sir Karl,

I would like to express gratitude to the cookery school. I am really enjoying the «Christmas meals» course. I always have problems to decide what I can and want to cook on holiday table. This course gives me different simple ideas, various life hacks, good recommendation how to save time and make dishes look beautifully.

Now I can cook at least 15 meals for the Christmas table, know how much time I spend for that and have a clear plan.

I would like to suggest another course for your school with term about daily cooking. I guess it is actually important topic, because every day a lot of women in the world ask themselves «What should I cook today»?

Task Response

The letter adequately covers the requirements of the task, describing enjoyment of the course, indicating cooking activity since the course, and suggesting a new course. There are some minor areas for improvement. For example, elaborating more on the amount of cooking done since the course could strengthen the response. Also, expanding on the reasons why a daily cooking course would be beneficial could enhance the suggestion. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally understandable, but the organization could be improved. Consider dedicating a paragraph to each of the points mentioned in the task instructions: what you enjoyed, how much cooking you've done since, and your course suggestion. This would enhance the flow and clarity of your letter.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement. For instance, instead of 'gives me different simple ideas,' you could use 'provided me with a range of straightforward ideas.' Varying your word choice can make your writing more engaging. Also, 'term about daily cooking' could be phrased more naturally as 'a course on everyday cooking'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors that affect the clarity of your writing. For example, 'I am really enjoying the «Christmas meals» course' could be improved to 'I thoroughly enjoyed the 'Christmas Meals' course.' Also, 'I always have problems to decide' should be 'I always have problems deciding.' Pay close attention to verb tenses, prepositions, and article usage to enhance grammatical accuracy.
