Dear Sir,

I am writing this letter to express my disappointed with the services from your workers, when I stayed at your hotel a couple of days ago.

While I was searching an accommodation to stay on my holiday, I found your hotel wich is close to the Asmara beach. I was interested with the place because it is cheaper than others’ hotel and it has beautiful view from the windows.

However, the Air Conditioner is broken and I felt uncomfortable because that night was hot. I had requested the resepsionis to ask the housekeeper to check and fix it. But they did not answer my demand wherefore they are busy and I felt disappointed.

I would like to request you to ask your workers fix the Air Conditioner directly and make sure the same situation will not happen.

I hope you respond my complaint and this letter will help you to know shortcomings of your hotel.

Yours faithfully,

Rahman

Task Response

The letter adequately addresses the task by explaining the choice of hotel, describing the problems encountered, and stating the desired action from the manager. There are some minor grammatical errors and awkward phrasing, but overall the message is clear. To improve, focus on using more natural and varied language, and ensure grammatical accuracy throughout the letter.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally understandable, but the flow could be improved with better paragraphing and transitions. Consider grouping related ideas together and using transition words to connect sentences and paragraphs more smoothly. For example, you could combine the reasons for choosing the hotel into a single paragraph. Also, ensure each paragraph has a clear focus.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement in terms of variety and precision. Try to use more specific and descriptive words to convey your dissatisfaction and the hotel's attributes. For instance, instead of 'beautiful view,' you could describe the view in more detail. Also, be careful with word choice; 'resepsionis' should be 'receptionist,' and 'wherefore' is not commonly used in modern English.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Pay attention to verb tense consistency (e.g., 'was searching' should align with the past tense used elsewhere), subject-verb agreement, and correct article usage (e.g., 'the services' instead of 'services'). Also, review sentence structure to avoid awkward phrasing, such as 'ask your workers fix the Air Conditioner directly,' which should be 'ask your workers to fix the Air Conditioner directly.' Proofreading carefully will help catch these errors.
