Student answer (Band 7.0)

Dear Sir/ Madam,

Good Wishes,

I am writing this letter to you about an event that my company organized at your hotel. The event was on 25th April this year in the main hall of the hotel. It was one of my colleuge retirement party organized by the company I am working in.

We all enjoyed the party as the arrangements were so great. The food was also fresh and delicious. Decorations done by the hotel staff were also so attractive. We all enjoyed the food and the charming vibes of the party.

As everything was perfect but I wants to bring your attention to a place which was not good. The washrooms as they were so dirty and smells like stink. Some team members feels sick after using the washrooms. My manager was also got disappointed with this.

I hope this letter will bring your attention to that place in your hotel and you will take action on this.

Regards,

Singh

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 7.0

The letter covers all three bullet points: providing event details, mentioning positive aspects, and suggesting improvements. The purpose of the letter is clear from the start. However, the development of ideas is somewhat basic. For instance, the description of the event and the specific feedback regarding the washrooms could be more detailed to fully satisfy the requirements of a higher band. The tone is generally appropriate for a formal letter, though some phrasing is slightly informal. Overall, the response is relevant and addresses the prompt effectively.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 7.0

The letter is logically organized into clear paragraphs, each focusing on a specific aspect of the prompt. The progression of ideas is easy to follow. However, the use of cohesive devices is somewhat limited and occasionally repetitive. For example, the transition between the positive feedback and the complaint is a bit abrupt. While the paragraphing is appropriate, the letter would benefit from a wider range of linking words and phrases to improve the flow between sentences and ideas. The overall structure is coherent, but the cohesion could be more sophisticated.

Lexical Resource — Band 6.5

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, allowing the writer to convey their message clearly. There are some attempts at using descriptive language, such as 'charming vibes' and 'attractive', but these are somewhat simplistic. There are also minor errors in word choice and collocation, such as 'smells like stink' (which is redundant) and 'colleuge' (spelling error). To reach a higher band, the writer should aim for more precise and varied vocabulary, avoiding repetitive phrasing and ensuring that words are used in their correct context.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 6.5

The letter contains a mix of simple and complex sentence structures. While the meaning is generally clear, there are several grammatical errors that occur throughout the text. Examples include 'one of my colleuge retirement party' (should be 'colleague's'), 'I wants to bring' (subject-verb agreement error), and 'Some team members feels sick' (should be 'felt' for past tense consistency). These errors do not significantly impede communication, but they are frequent enough to prevent a higher score. More attention to verb tense consistency and subject-verb agreement would improve the accuracy.
