Dear Mr Collin

I hope this letter finds you well,

Well , i am writing this letter regarding my situation on my recent spanish language course. First off all the course has only three hours a week which is not enough or suffcient for me personally to improve my level and to reach B2 so i can finish my master in spain, so basically what made more unhappy was the lack of additional hours and i am here trying to ask yoou or the college education center for a better scheduale . However i am not asking for too much things from you guys as i always knew that you be busy during the week but honestly i hope you understand the frustration from my side and wish that you are going to do your best solving this issue

My suggestions is to give us more attention when it comes to hours per week we need at least attend a 16h a week which the minimum amount to improve my level reach B2 level as long as possible

Thnak you so much for reading my letter and i hope i hear from you soon,

Kind regards

Mehdi Bechka

Task Response

The letter addresses the task requirements by explaining the writer's unhappiness with the course, describing expectations, and suggesting improvements. However, the content could be more developed and specific. The tone is generally appropriate, but the language could be more formal and precise. To improve, provide more concrete examples of why the course was insufficient and clearly state the desired outcome from the college.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter's organization is somewhat clear, but the flow of ideas could be improved. Consider using more formal transitions and structuring your points more logically. For example, clearly separate the reasons for dissatisfaction, the desired actions, and the suggestions for improvement into distinct paragraphs. Avoid conversational language to maintain a professional tone.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate but could be more precise and varied. For instance, instead of repeating 'unhappy,' try using synonyms like 'dissatisfied' or 'disappointed.' Expand your range of vocabulary to express your concerns and suggestions more effectively. Also, ensure that your word choices are appropriate for a formal letter.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Focus on improving sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, and the correct use of articles and prepositions. Pay close attention to punctuation, especially commas and periods. Proofread carefully to catch and correct these errors.
