Dear sir,

I am Jason Justin, writing this letter to provide a feedback on the cookery course I attended last week.

When I heard about your training course, I was very stimulated, as I was always keen to learn to cook Chinese food. Attending this program was altogether a great experience. The use of various sauses and spices to cook noodles was something I got to learn here. Throughout the week, I have been making different Chinese food as dinner, to apply the skills I learned from you in practise. At home, I have tried making noodles, chilli fried rice and, last but not the least, chilli pepper rice. My family has loved all the dishes so far and appreciated the range of taste they all carried.

Moreover, I would like to show my interest in learning to cook Italian food. My children are fond of it and it would be great if I can prepare it at home. Kindly let me know when the training program starts.

Overall, it was a great experience learning from you. Looking forward to attend more such courses.

Thanking you,

Jason Justin

Task Response

The response fully satisfies all requirements of the task. You have clearly described what you enjoyed (learning about sauces and spices), explained how much cooking you have done since the course (making various Chinese dishes for dinner), and suggested a new course (Italian food). The tone is appropriate for a letter to a course director, and the ideas are developed logically. To further improve, ensure minor spelling errors such as 'sauses' (sauces) and 'practise' (practice - as a noun) are corrected, though these do not detract from the overall task achievement.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is logically organized, and the progression of ideas is clear. You have addressed all three bullet points from the task. However, the transitions between paragraphs could be smoother. For instance, the transition to the suggestion of an Italian course is a bit abrupt. Using more sophisticated cohesive devices or linking sentences would help the flow. Additionally, ensure that the closing is standard for a formal letter (e.g., 'Yours sincerely' if you know the name, or 'Yours faithfully' if you do not).

Lexical Resource

You have used a good range of vocabulary such as 'stimulated', 'keen to learn', and 'appreciated the range of taste'. There are some minor spelling errors, such as 'sauses' instead of 'sauces', and 'practise' (which is the verb form, whereas 'practice' is the noun needed here). To reach a higher band, try to incorporate more precise culinary terminology and avoid repetitive phrasing.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is generally understandable, but there are several errors that prevent a higher score. For example, 'provide a feedback' should be 'provide feedback' (feedback is uncountable). 'Looking forward to attend' should be 'Looking forward to attending'. There are also minor issues with article usage and sentence structure. Focus on mastering gerunds after certain phrases and the correct use of uncountable nouns to improve your accuracy.
