Dear Mr Alex,

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding our recent stay at Hotel ‘The Oakes’ for our ‘Train the Trainer’ meeting.

The meeting was scheduled at 9:00 am on the 5th floor of the hotel. All the managers from the upper management were invited to present the recent changes in our training program.

During the entire meeting, there was a constant Wi-Fi connectivity issue, which made it difficult for people to present online data. Moreover, the employees were not satisfied with the lunch, as it was stale and extremely spicy.

I would like to recommend that the hotel management install a better Wi-Fi connectivity system to make the guests’ experience more comfortable. Additionally, the restaurant kitchen team should be notified to pay more attention to the quality of the food.

Thank you for your attention.

Yours faithfully,

Jaskaran

Task Response

The letter effectively addresses all three task requirements: it provides details of the meeting, explains the dissatisfaction (Wi-Fi and food quality), and suggests solutions. The tone is appropriate and the structure is clear. Minor lapses include not specifying the exact date of the meeting and the closing salutation 'Yours faithfully' is typically used when the recipient's name is not known, but since you addressed 'Dear Mr Alex', 'Yours sincerely' would be more appropriate. To achieve a band 9, ensure all details are precise and the closing matches the salutation. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is logically organized and easy to follow. It opens with a clear purpose, provides the meeting details, explains the dissatisfaction, and ends with a polite suggestion and closing. The use of cohesive devices (e.g., 'Moreover', 'Additionally') is natural and does not draw attention. Paragraphing is appropriate, with each paragraph focusing on a distinct aspect. Overall, the message flows effortlessly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is appropriate and accurate for the context, with some good collocations such as 'express my disappointment', 'constant Wi-Fi connectivity issue', and 'pay more attention to the quality of the food'. The range is adequate, though not exceptionally wide. To reach a higher band, consider using more varied and sophisticated expressions, such as 'inconvenience caused by' or 'remedial measures'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter demonstrates a wide range of grammatical structures used with full control. Sentences are varied in length and complexity, and punctuation is accurate. There are no noticeable grammar errors. The tone is appropriately formal and consistent throughout.
