I found more elegant this place. However, we don’t like meal since your chief should be careful during prepare meal. For example, your chief doesn’t care for hygiene. Furthermore, restaurant workers don’t have quality behaviours. Therefore, I was discussed multiple times. My wife has anger and I was keep calm.

Task Response

The letter attempts to address the task by explaining the reason for the visit (wife's birthday), describing problems (hygiene, staff behavior, ignored requests), and suggesting actions (reassessment of staff). However, the response is weakened by significant language errors that obscure meaning, some irrelevant details (e.g., 'I found more elegant this place'), and a lack of clear, specific action requested from the manager. The tone is more advisory than a formal complaint. To improve, focus on clearly stating the purpose, describing problems with specific examples, and explicitly requesting a concrete action (e.g., refund, apology, or staff training). Use more accurate vocabulary and grammar to convey your points effectively.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter has a basic structure with an introduction, body, and conclusion, but the flow is disrupted by frequent grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. The sequence of ideas is somewhat logical, but transitions are abrupt, and the message is not always easy to follow. To improve, use clearer paragraphing: one paragraph for the reason for visiting, one for the problems, and one for the desired action. Use linking words like 'firstly', 'secondly', 'however', and 'therefore' more effectively to guide the reader.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is limited and often used incorrectly (e.g., 'worse experience' instead of 'worst experience', 'eating house' instead of 'restaurant', 'chief' instead of 'chef', 'rewievs' instead of 'reviews'). There is an attempt to use some descriptive words ('elegant', 'hygiene', 'ambiance'), but they are not always appropriate. To improve, expand your vocabulary by learning common collocations (e.g., 'had a disappointing meal', 'poor service', 'take action') and use a dictionary to check word meanings and spellings.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains numerous grammatical errors, including incorrect verb tenses ('I was celebration' should be 'I was celebrating'), subject-verb agreement ('your cook don't listen' should be 'your cook doesn't listen'), and missing articles ('birtday my wife' should be 'my wife's birthday'). Punctuation is also inconsistent. To improve, focus on basic grammar rules, such as using past tense for past events, ensuring subject-verb agreement, and using correct possessive forms. Practice writing simple, correct sentences before attempting complex structures.
