Dear Sir/ Madam,

I would like to say thank you for the experience that i got in the cooking class that has been held a month ago. I have a lot of moments and I was enjoy such as the basic skills before cooking and I got a buch of cuisines such as traditional foods, westren foods, and asian foods.

I feel different today because my ability to cook is developing. Lately, I can cook very well 10 foods, such as Rendang, Padeda, Pizza, and others. I beleive if I keep to practice my cookings skill a can make more foods.

I would like you to held another cooking course next year with different theme so i can learn more about how to make more foods such as how to make unique desserts.

Thank you for this experience and I hope we can meet again in other class, and please contact me if you have information or a new cooking class.

Best regards,

Kery Ginting

Task Response

The letter addresses all three prompts required by the task. However, the development of these points is somewhat limited. While you mention what you enjoyed, the description is quite brief, and the explanation of how much cooking you have done lacks specific detail or depth. To improve, try to expand on your ideas; for example, instead of just listing foods, you could describe how the course gave you the confidence to host a dinner party or how often you cook now. Additionally, ensure that your suggestions for new courses are more clearly articulated to provide a more professional tone. Pay attention to grammatical accuracy and spelling (e.g., 'buch' to 'bunch', 'westren' to 'Western', 'beleive' to 'believe') to ensure the message is clear and polished.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter follows the required structure and addresses all three bullet points from the task. However, the progression of ideas is somewhat disjointed. To improve, use more sophisticated linking words (e.g., 'Furthermore', 'Regarding my progress', 'In addition to this') to connect your sentences. Ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic that flows logically into the next.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and repetitive (e.g., using 'foods' and 'cooking' multiple times). There are also several spelling errors such as 'buch', 'westren', 'beleive', and 'padeda'. To reach a higher band, try to use more varied and precise culinary vocabulary, such as 'dishes', 'recipes', 'techniques', or 'cuisine types'. Instead of saying 'make more foods', you could say 'prepare a wider variety of dishes'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are frequent grammatical errors that occasionally hinder the reader's understanding. Issues include incorrect verb tenses (e.g., 'has been held a month ago' should be 'was held'), subject-verb agreement, and sentence structure (e.g., 'I have a lot of moments and I was enjoy'). Pay close attention to the use of past tenses when describing the course and the use of infinitives (e.g., 'would like you to hold' instead of 'held'). Practicing complex sentence structures will help improve your score.
