Dear friend,

I hope you doing well, I am writing this letter to express my disappointment for the services of the hotel i stayed when I visited you at your city.

The problem I had is I was really tired after the long travel so I wanted to take a shower with the hot water but unfortunately the water heater was not working properly so i had a cold shower. Additionally, the room temperature was too cold. I called the manager but he was unable to solve the technical issues.

As result of that inconvenience I was very frustrated and suffering from the fever. I had to take the medication. The doctor told me to take rest so I need to book an another hotel for my comfort.

It would be a great help if the hotel management could fix all the issues. If they managed to do all repairs as soon as possible it would be appreciated.

I look forward to your response

Yours faithfully,

Aarav

Task Response

The letter adequately addresses the task by explaining the problem at the hotel, describing its impact, and suggesting a solution. There are some minor grammatical errors and awkward phrasings, but overall the letter is clear and understandable. To improve, focus on using more precise language and varied sentence structures.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally coherent, but the organization could be improved. Consider grouping related ideas together more explicitly. For example, the impact of the problem could be discussed in one paragraph. Also, ensure smooth transitions between sentences and paragraphs to enhance the flow of the letter.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement. Try to incorporate a wider range of vocabulary to express your ideas more precisely and naturally. For example, instead of 'doing well,' you could use 'I hope you are in good health.' Also, consider using more descriptive words to explain the problem and its impact.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Pay close attention to verb tense consistency, subject-verb agreement, and correct article usage. For example, 'I hope you doing well' should be 'I hope you are doing well.' Also, review sentence structure to ensure it is grammatically sound and easy to understand.
